History of Wedding Gown Cleaning
Traditionally, dry cleaning your wedding gown was the only option to eliminate stains from your gown. This process involves soaking the gown in a cleaning solution known as Perc (perchloroethylene). However, this solution not only poses health risks but also impacts the environment.
That is why the US government taxes dry cleaners using Perc to fund cleanup efforts, motivating many wedding dress cleaning and preservation companies to look for safer alternatives. Here is where SYSTEMK4 comes into play.
What is SYSTEMK4 Technology?
Developed in Germany, SYSTEMK4 is an effective fabric cleaning technology that is 100% environmentally safe and can handle the toughest stains. Unlike dry cleaning, where perchloroethylene was the primary component used to get rid of stains, this technology uses three products – SolvonK4, ClipK4, and PrenettK4.
- SolvonK4 is derived from natural sources. It is designed to break down stubborn stains and protect the delicate fabric of your gown.
- ClipK4 is a concentrated detergent used to remove invisible stains from delicate lace and silk fabrics without any damage.
- PrenettK4 is designed to remove tough soil stains that occur around the hemline, ensuring your wedding dress is professionally cleaned and free from visible stains.
