Reply to comment by fatDaddy21 in TIL Dry cleaning isn't dry at all and is only called dry because it uses chemical solvents instead of water by balaclavaloungeparty

I honestly thought the same as the OP but I never actually fully thought about it or looked it up. I figured dry meant dry - maybe super high temp? Or those UV sanitizing things? Vacuum? Super air blower blows the dirt out of it?

Actually it's low temp. The liquid used evaporates at low temperature and is almost completely captured and reused. Source: my dad owned a drycleaners.
