The History of Dry Cleaning

The history of dry cleaning dates back to the Mycenaean Civilisation (around 1600 B.C.), where ancient dry cleaners supposedly used absorbent earth and powdered meal to draw various kinds of dirt from clothing. The use of liquid solvents gained popularity over time, and in 1825, a Frenchman named Jean-Baptiste Jolly made the innovative discovery that turpentine could be used as a dry cleaning solvent. Jolly then went on to offer dry cleaning services to the public, which he called "nettoyage a sec" - a French equivalent to the term dry cleaning. Dry cleaning was introduced to the UK in 1857, and since then, it has become one of the most common ways to clean clothes.
