CO₂ Technology

Our CO₂ technology opens a new era in dry cleaning. This breakthrough technology is poised to sweep the dry cleaning industry on a global scale as it offers enormous benefits for the environment and working conditions. And it cleans virtually anything!

• Carbon dioxide (CO₂) comes from natural sources and is also a by-product of existing industrial processes, for example from fermentation in distilleries. It's the same gas that bubbles up in soft drinks and beer. The CO₂ used in the cleaning process is captured from existing sources; no new CO₂ is manufactured for use in the process. The CO₂ cleaning technology only "borrows" existing CO₂ on its way to the atmosphere and doesn’t add any greenhouse gases to the environment.
  
• While being environmentally safe, carbon dioxide (CO₂) has excellent cleaning properties. It dissolves dirt, fats and oils on all materials currently dry cleaned. Thanks to its low surface tension and viscosity it easily penetrates garment fibers. In all other ways, it works like any traditional dry cleaning solvent. Better yet, CO₂ is easy to handle. It is non-toxic (unless inhaled in large concentrations), non-flammable and odorless. It produces no hazardous waste or emissions that require special disposal.
  
• Unlike all the other cleaning systems, CO₂ does not require drying with heat. As a result, it is very gentle on fabrics. Garments cleaned with CO₂ will last longer and feel softer. Additionally, without heat, stains are not set and stain removal is still possible after treatment.
