What is the difference between wet and dry cleaning?

Traditional dry cleaning methods are highly toxic and outdated. The process involves soaking garments in a chemical called Perchloroethylene or ‘Perc’, which is already banned in France, Denmark, and states in the US

At Oxwash, we offer a sustainable dry cleaning alternative - wet cleaning. Our wet cleaning process uses state-of-the-art technology to harness low temperatures, water, and biodegradable detergents. We use dynamic washing and drying systems to ensure each cycle is efficient and tailored to the garment’s properties. This allows us to provide a high-quality clean, even on ‘dry-clean-only’ garments, without the use of harmful chemicals. Each garment is then hand-finished before going through our rigorous quality control checks.
