Why WET+PRO?
Breakthrough Chemistry
WET+PRO soaps and conditioners are the industry’s first products engineered to let any drycleaner—regardless of experience—wetclean garments safely and effectively.
Professional Wetcleaning began in Germany in the 1990s, but until now, it required specialized training. WET+PRO changes that by delivering simple, reliable, and worry-free wetcleaning that anyone can master.
No Specialized Equipment Necessary
WET+PRO makes wetcleaning accessible to everyone. You don’t need any specialized equipment to begin; a sink or household washer is enough. A dedicated wetcleaning machine is recommended, but not required to deliver safe, reliable results.
Reduction in Production Cost
WET+PRO transforms your workflow. Expect faster production and lower costs from day one. Install multiple dryers and your output can soar by 200–300%. Plus, simplified garment handling means far less classification and spotting—saving time, labor, and money with every load.
Wetcleaning vs Drycleaning
Cleaning Quality
Wetcleaning uses fresh, clean water for every load, ensuring a consistently higher level of hygiene. Drycleaning, in contrast, recycles the same solvent repeatedly, even after filtration and distillation.
Water is a powerful, universal cleaner that dissolves most soils—except oil—extremely well.
Drycleaning solvent is excellent at breaking down oils and greases, but does little against many everyday stains and residues.
Better for Your Clothes and Health
When you wetclean garments, both washing and drying are done at low, fabric-safe temperatures. And each load is rinsed 2, 3 times with fresh, clean water to further remove soils, detergents, and residue.
In drycleaning, however, there is no rinsing step, thus leaving residue on clothes. And garments are exposed to very high heat to evaporate the solvent—adding stress to fibers and finishes.
True Green Technology
Wetcleaning is one of the cleanest garment-care methods available. Its soaps and conditioners have almost zero environmental impact, which is why wetcleaning is not regulated as a hazardous process.
Drycleaning, however—even the so-called “organic drycleaning” —produces regulated hazardous waste that must be collected and transported by licensed hazardous-waste haulers.
Production Speed
Wetcleaning is two to three times faster than drycleaning when using a multiple-dryer setup. It also requires significantly less spotting, since about 85% of stains are water-soluble and wash out automatically with wetcleaning.
Drycleaning, however, must manually treat that same 85% of stains, adding time, labor, and cost to every load.
