Our Story in Wet Clean
It is predicted that within 10 years caustic, toxic, Dry Cleaning as we know it today will be a thing of the past. In fact, states such as California are offering cash incentives to Dry Cleaning merchants to switch to the eco-friendly Wet Cleaning process.
The CLEANOVATION Wet Cleaning System replaces the conventional Dry Cleaning process.
The CLEANOVATION Wet Cleaning process is very intricate in design. Formula- Balance II, Citrusol. ProCellr8 II, Leather Luxe, Microstatic.Initially, water soluble soils must be removed from the fabrics and at the same time the dyes within the fabrics must be stabilized to inhibit color loss from “crocking” (bleeding) and from the mechanical transfer caused by friction while washing; all at 70’F and 7pH.
Our Process
Frequently, one detergent is used for wool, another for silk and still another detergent for delicate cottons which is costly and complicates the wash process. Our pro-microbial Balance II detergent accomplishes this in superior fashion.
Second, a biodegradable citrus solvent must be introduced to gently remove oils imbedded in the fabric.
Third, a water soluble surfactant, conditioner and a sizing is added to move soils and add elasticity and a “soft hand” to the garments without building up like conventional fabric softeners. ProCellr8 II is our all in-one product that fits the bill.
Fourth, a “once-and-done”* non-leaching, gentle antimicrobial finish we call Microstatic is applied to the garments to guard against all types of harmful bacterial pathogens and to eliminate odors.
[In the case of leathers and suedes, Leather Luxe, a specific replenishing oil, is introduced to keep these items soft and supple after washing. *The permanent Microstatic anti-microbial protection will retain its efficacy up to 99% for up to 80 consecutive CLEANOVATION Wet Cleanings.
