A QUICK HISTORY OF DRY CLEANING
79 AD - The earliest cleaners were called fullers. They used ammonia and clay to clean togas. Yes, they used urine to remove stains.
1845 - Jean-Baptiste Jolly, a Frenchman, accidentally spills kerosene on a dirty tablecloth. Surprised that the stains are removed, he opens a store and calls the service "dry cleaning" because of its waterless process. Unsurprisingly, kerosene is flammable and governments are not happy.
1939 - New solvents are discovered that do a better job of cleaning clothes and don't catch fire. The world rejoices!
