Wet Cleaning

What is Wet Cleaning?

Wet cleaning is the green alternative to traditional dry cleaning processes. The system allows you to wet clean garments and textile that have traditionally been "dry clean only" items. Using specially designed equipment and detergents you can achieve the same outstanding results.

The History

Wet cleaning maybe the current buzz word in the industry, however wet cleaning is not a new process. It was developed in the 1990's with the sole goal to develop a cleaning process that effectively cleaned all garments through a safe and biodegradable detergent process – a process that was truly "green". Our Lagoon® wet cleaning system has also been approved by The Woolmark Company since 2004 for cleaning Woolmark garments labelled as dry clean only.

How does wet cleaning work?

The Lagoon® system uses highly sophisticated washers and dryers to safely clean all articles of clothing that are normally dry cleaned.

Wet cleaning uses water; nature's best cleaning solvent and a safe biodegradable detergent mixture to clean. The biggest advantage of wet cleaning is that it is the most effective way to remove water based stains and odours (which amount to 90% of the normal stains on clothing), rendering clothes not only truly clean, but fresh smelling. The Pony finishing equipment ensures you have the proper tensioning equipment to achieve the perfect finished garments expected by your customers.
