Question
Is it permitted during Shiva to dry-clean clothes without water?
Answer
It is forbidden to dry-clean clothes without water, as this also falls under the prohibition of laundering.
Source
It is obvious, and one cannot infer from the Gemara in Moed Katan 27 that it is only forbidden with water, as today dry cleaning is truly like laundering and even cleans better than a washing machine.
