High temperatures cause colers to run on a poor dye jcp, with any solvent that may be used. This is a fact generally recognized—even in gascline cleaning. High temperatures will also set stains and cause shrinkage of fabrics. The Prosperily System, using DuPont Tri- clene non-inflammable solvent, EXTRACTS at lezt 80% cof the solvent from garments. This peimits the use of a low, warm tempera‘urs to dry cut the balance.
