Because יבש is an adjective modifying ניקוי.

In Hebrew, when a noun is definite, its adjective is also definite:

• ניקוי יבש = dry cleaning / a dry cleaning process
• הניקוי היבש = the dry cleaning

So the ה־ appears on both words because the whole noun phrase is definite.

Why is יבש after ניקוי instead of before it?
