Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of removing lint from a home dry cleaning system.

Claims

1. A method of disposing of wastes from a home dry cleaning system comprising:

a) running a cycle of the home dry cleaning system;

b) collecting wastes from the cycle; and

c) disposing of the wastes.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the wastes are solid wastes.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein the solid waste is collected separately from the liquid waste.

4. The method of claim 3 wherein the solid waste is disposed after at least one cycle.

5. The method of claim 3 wherein the solid waste is disposed of after at least two cycles.

6. The method of claim 3 wherein the solid waste is disposed of by automatic means.

7. The method of claim 6 wherein the solid waste is disposed such that the user does not come into direct contact with the solid waste.

8. The method of claim 7 wherein the solid waste is disposed of down the drain.

9. The method of claim 7 wherein the solid waste is placed in a container by the automatic means and the container is removed by the user.
