Treat (dirty clothes) using chemicals (3-5)

I believe the answer is:

dry-clean

(Other definitions for dry-clean that I've seen before include "Wash in organic solvents" , "Remove dirt from clothes using solvents" , "Launder without water" , "Remove dirt from fabric using solvent" , "Use chemical solvent on clothes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
