Technical Advice

Sort every wetcleaning load by item type, fabric weight, construction and colour, so that garments share only compatible water, detergent and action. One wrong item, such as a dark garment in a light load, can grey, discolour or shrink the whole load.

Wetcleaning is now a mainstream alternative to drycleaning. This Technical Advice explains what wetcleaning is, the four types of soil, why some fibres behave so differently in water, and how to decide when wetcleaning is the right process.
