Respect for nature and the environment, using natural products and processes, traditional craftsmanship but with modern tools!

We offer three options for the care of your garments:

 

The best known and most common option is traditional wet cleaning.

                                                                                                  &

         The most environmentally friendly method is wet cleaning, known as "aquaclean":

•  Reduced energy consumption
•  Action in favor of the environment
•  Alternative solution to traditional solvents
•  100% biodegradable products
• Non-toxic to human health
• No unpleasant odors, for both staff and customers
• More hygienic: eliminates sweat and urine stains
• Revived colors
• Restored softness and suppleness of fibers
• Treatment of all fibers (natural, artificial, or synthetic)

     

The most convenient option is dry cleaning, using a process that is "chlorinated solvent-free, perchloroethylene-free" but based on                                                                                               hydrocarbon commonly known as KWL.

KWL Advantages:

• They have great degreasing power and do not damage fibers.
• They emit little or no odor
• Solvents cause little creasing of fibers
• They do not damage beads, trimmings, or buttons
• More gentle on fur and leather
• New generations of machines consume little energy and little or no water

        In the European Union, perchloroethylene is classified as "harmful to health" and "dangerous for the environment."
