I thought it probably had something to do with hot gaseous cleaners. Kinda like steam cleaning but where it didn't condense back into water at any point.
In my head I feel a white sock would probably get pretty clean if I stick it in a high pressure steam jet for 1/10th of a second.

Honestly i thought this too. Ive never used the service and didnt give it much thought. Chemical cleaners doesnt sound as nice

There are some dry cleaning systems that use supercritical carbon dioxide as the solvent. But that’s still a liquid.
