Industrial washing
The industrial cleaning process of clothing differs fundamentally from the domestic. In industrial laundries, clothing is not only washed on a larger scale, but special washing and drying machines and suitable detergents are also used. All this ensures that the industrial washing process has a different effect on both the garment and the fabric. Washing, maintaining and storing work clothes in the right way is important to guarantee the durability, but also the functionality of the workwaer.
