About Wet Cleaning
So Fresh and So Clean Clean
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, wet cleaning is the safest professional method of garment cleaning available. At EcoClean, our professional wet cleaning process uses special biodegradable detergents and fresh water to clean almost all garments that can be dry cleaned. Depending on the number and type of items, our computerized washing machines control the amount of water, soap, agitation and even the humidity that each load receives. After your items are clean, our specialized dryers gently tumble garments at specific temperatures for set periods of time.
How will my clothes turn out?
Clothes that have been wet cleaned have a softer look and feel (and a much better smell) than clothes that have been dry cleaned, and the process can even be used with fabrics such as wools, silks, rayon and linen that require special treatment. After wet cleaning, your garments are hand-pressed and beautifully finished by our experienced pressers.
How did wet cleaning start?
Technically, you could say people have been wet cleaning for as long as they’ve been wearing and washing their clothes. Professional wet cleaning technology was first developed in Germany in the early 1990s, and it was brought to the United States shortly after. Today, the wet cleaning process is used by thousands of cleaners across the country, and dozens of companies manufacture wet cleaning equipment and detergents.
