I have to make up the sentence using "have something done" construction for a notice " 24-hour dry cleaning service" This is an exercises. Which variant is correct? I can have my clothes cleaned dry for 24 hours. (using dry as an adverb) OR I can have my clothes dry-cleaned for 24 hours. (using verb - dry-cleaned )
Thanks!!

@DCW,

Yes. Dry-cleaning (or dry cleaning) is a discrete (separate) process, and is a separate verb.
