What makes dry cleaning different from home based cleaning, for expensive clothes?

Traditionally, professionals used different types of solvents like petrol and kerosene. With the significant advancements in the chemical industry, verity of synthetic solvents has been developed. The use of solvents not only extends the lifespan of garments, but also prevents the fabrics from getting shrunk or fade.
