Dry
Yes Naptha works on wool but it doesn't work on sugars.
Naptha was one ofthe early "dry cleaning" fluids and works by disolving grease and oils thereby removing the dirt attached to them.
Carbohydrates and sugars from foods are not disolved and will remain behind, which is why if you have a food spill on dry clean only clothes you should let the dry cleaner know to spot remove with wet cleaning.
It is necessary to get the carbs & surgars out, otherwise they burn in the pressing and create a worse stain.
