Read The Garment
The care label is only one part of the decision. Staff should also look at fabric, colour, trims, lining, stains and prior damage.

How To Clean™
How To Clean™ is about giving staff and owners better decision support before choosing the cleaning method.
Cleaning is not only pressing a button. The correct method depends on fibre, construction, dye stability, trim risk, soil type, customer expectation and equipment capability.
Garment Care Authority
What this means inside a garment care business.
DCME explains garment care in practical business language: risk, evidence, method, expectation, staff procedure and customer protection.
Choose The Method
Dry cleaning, wet cleaning, hand cleaning, spotting, laundering, specialist cleaning or no-clean advice may be required.
Understand The Risk
Some stains cannot be fully removed without risk. Some dyes move. Some fabrics shrink. Some trims fail.
Explain To The Customer
A good cleaning decision includes explaining realistic outcomes before the work begins.

Why this matters
Knowledge reduces disputes and improves decisions.
When the owner and staff understand garment risk before cleaning, the business can communicate better, document better and protect both customer and operator.
