Professional traditional dry cleaning
When items are cleaned professionally, various organic or water-based solvents are used. Therefore, labelling on caring for your clothing is different for dry cleaning and water-based cleaning (aqua laundry).The letters inside the circle are intended for fabric care professionals. They provide information on and name the solvent that may be used.
The line under the circle indicates that restrictions are imposed on the professional dry cleaning process. This may mean less mechanical action and/or a specific cleaning and/or drying temperature, less water in the bath of solvent.
Professional water-based cleaning (aqua laundry)
Professional water-based cleaning is a care process for fabrics that can be dealt with in water by fabric care professionals using special processes (washing, rinsing and spin-drying) and additional detergents and products to limit any damage to the fabrics.The specifications of this professional equipment, the requirements for additional products used and the finishing methods cannot be carried out in the cycles programmed into your washing machine at home.
