TRIMS AND LININGS

Many garments have trims (e.g., buttons), various linings and other findings (e.g., felts, interfacing, pads) of some sort that will determine how it will be cleaned.  For example, differential shrinkage, undesirable distortion and/or puckering of tailored articles (e.g., men's suits) can occur during processing if the felts or linings used in the construction respond differently than the shell fabric.  In cases like this, there is generally less chance of damage when using the dry-cleaning process in place of wet-cleaning.
