My Dry Cleaning Experiment: What Happened When I Cleaned My Coat with Foam

summarizeEditor's Summary

I recently tried using the dry cleaning foam from Lapslab to clean my winter coat, and I've gotta say, it was a total game changer. The foam was super easy to use, and it got rid of all the tough stains on the lining, collar, and cuffs. I was a bit skeptical at first, but it's definitely worth every penny - I mean, who doesn't love saving money on dry cleaning? However, I did find that the foam doesn't do much for stains on synthetic fabrics, which is a bummer. Still, I'm really impressed with the results, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a DIY dry cleaning solution. Plus, it's a great value for money considering how well it works. One thing to note is that you might need to use a bit more foam for heavily soiled areas, but overall, it's a great product.

I've gotta share my thoughts on using the 'dry cleaning foam' from Lapslab - it's been on my mind for a while now. I needed to get my winter coat cleaned from the outside stains, especially on the lining, collar, and cuffs. I'd been putting it off, but I finally decided to give it a shot.
Dry cleaning foam for clothes, reviews I'd recently bought some jeans that looked great, but I realized later that they'd been dyed with a weird color. The stains showed up on the lining, and I had no idea until I saw them. It was a total disaster.Home dry cleaningI was initially planning to take the jeans to a dry cleaner, but they wanted 10,000 rubles and couldn't guarantee the results. The receptionist said they'd do their best, but I wasn't willing to pay for 'best efforts.' I'd had a bad experience with a dry cleaner before, when they ruined my dog-stained carpet and charged me an arm and a leg for the 'privilege.'
I'd previously tried to get a carpet cleaned by a professional, but they ended up making it smell worse. They eventually re-cleaned it, but the damage was done. And they charged me a small fortune for the 'honor' of having my carpet smell like a dumpster.
So, I decided to try cleaning the jeans myself. I found a foam cleaner with good reviews and a great rating, especially for removing marker stains from a couch. I figured if it could handle that, it could definitely handle the stains on my jeans.

Design and aesthetics 🌚
The bottle is made of dense plastic with a pump dispenser. There's a non-removable brush on the nozzle that applies the foam.
Foam - dry cleaningThe packaging also includes all the necessary information for using the product. It's stated that the foam is safe for skin contact, so you don't need gloves.
Foam for cleaning upper clothing, reviewsThe exact composition isn't specified, but it's stated that it doesn't contain chlorine, phosphates, or bleaches. However, the manufacturer warns you to test the product on an inconspicuous area first.
According to the manufacturer, the foam can handle a wide range of stains, which I was really hoping for.
Foam cleaner, reviewsUsage:
Dispense the foam using 2-3 presses on the sponge or brush. Distribute the foam in circular motions over the cleaned surface. Don't wait for it to dry, use a microfiber cloth to remove excess foam
Since the instructions say you need to immediately wipe away the foam with a microfiber cloth, I ended up using disposable cloth towels instead. I think if a product requires additional attributes for its use, the manufacturer should include them in the package.

Usage
I found it easy to dispense the foam from the dispenser, no extra effort needed. The smell of the product is virtually nonexistent, so I didn't have to worry about working in a closed space.
Foam for cleaning outerwear, reviewsFollowing the instructions, I applied the foam generously to the lining of my down jacket and tried to distribute it as evenly as possible.
Dry cleaning with foam at home, reviewsUsing a cotton cloth, I wiped away all the dirt that had accumulated on the surface with circular motions. I worked without gloves and didn't experience any skin irritation.
Cleaning outerwear at homeThe cloth got really dirty, so I had to change it a few times. This suggests that the foam does have some cleaning properties, although it's possible that a cleaning wipe could have done the same job, as I've never cleaned my down jacket in three seasons of wear.
Cleaning outerwear at home, reviewsIt took me a full can of foam, some elbow grease, and an hour of my time to completely clean the inside of my down jacket. I used a built-in brush to scrub every inch, wiping away excess foam with a cotton cloth, hoping for the best.
I'm still trying to figure out why this dry cleaning foam is called 'dry cleaning' when it actually made my fabric super wet, forcing me to dry it out again.

Result
I think I did everything I could to get a good clean, but this foam just didn't cut it. It only managed to remove surface-level dirt, and failed miserably with tougher stains.
Cleaning my jacket at homeBut it does help to refresh yellowed cuffs and collars, and the foam leaves no stains behind. It's also easy to use, as you don't need to rinse it off - although I'm not sure how you'd do that even if you wanted to!xa0
Impressions

Honestly, I was expecting more from this dry cleaning foam. I was hoping for a better result and a cleaner finish. Plus, I noticed that after it dried completely, the lining felt crunchy and lost its soft, velvety texture. It's like the powder just sat there, unable to be washed out.
Cleaning my coat at home, reviewsI wouldn't recommend this foam for dry cleaning purposes, though. It's just not strong enough, and I was expecting more. Those stains it did manage to remove could have been tackled with regular cleaning wipes.
