Why is dry cleaning actually wet?

Fabric processing
Sammy asked:


When you get wool, cashmere, or other such fabrics wet, they shrink. The label states they should be dry-cleaned. However, I learned that dry cleaning is in fact a process where the clothes get wet. Why does that not cause shrinkage? Just curious.
