Before modern dry cleaning became an everyday convenience, one innovator changed the game. Thomas Jennings, a skilled tailor from New York City, made history in 1821 as the first African American to receive a U.S. patent. His invention—known as “dry scouring”—introduced a new way to clean delicate fabrics without water, laying the foundation for the global dry-cleaning industry we rely on today.
