Wash gently

Gentlewash® is a professional, comprehensive, and precise system for washing and drying delicate fabrics: coats, formal dresses, dinner jackets, cashmere sweaters, dresses with embroidery or sequins, stage costumes, theater costumes, and uniforms. A system that uses water and specific detergents for the treatment of knitwear and delicate fabrics: natural-based cleaning agents, dosed and diluted appropriately during the washing process, give the garment its natural softness, structure, and freshness , making even the subsequent drying phase simple and effective. The finishing operation completes the process, facilitated by the fabric being made easy to iron.

The Gentlewash® system offers a water-based washing method capable of treating the most delicate garments with a gentle touch, maintaining their specific properties even after numerous washes. It is a system because it is based on the teamwork of a washing machine and a dryer: two advanced tools at the disposal of professional operators.

Gentlewash® redistributes the factors that make up the washing action, paying special attention to time and chemical management. Small doses of mechanical action and thermal energy allow the chemical to act fully at the right time, avoiding waste and protecting the environment. Washing management is based primarily on four closely related factors : temperature, mechanical action, chemical action, and time.

This is the well-known Sinner diagram, which summarizes washing technology. If, for example, we reduce the temperature and mechanical action, we must increase the time and chemicals so that the sum of the four factors remains constant. And this is where the potential of Wavy control is best expressed, allowing complete management of all parameters.

Each parameter can be modified even while the cycle is running, which means that once the washing process has started, the expert operator can continue to intervene on all parameters to meet specific needs. Versatility is the keyword that sums up all the features offered by Wavy control, which can also be seen remotely: with the Wi-Fi connection and connection to TheMind.cloud, it is possible to customize washing cycles and then send them to the machine, so that the washing machines are always up to date, efficient, and perform well.

There is a very fine line between achieving a good result and compromising not only the entire process, but also the quality of the garment. This margin, which separates the garment that is still damp from the one that is too dry, is the goal of the professional tumble drying process. When the garment is in the dryer, the cushioning function between the fibers that water performs during washing no longer exists. Instead, we have hot, dry air with all its drying power. Therefore, the line separating dry from not dry is very fine and, once crossed, often causes irreparable consequences, such as friction between the fibers, felting, and shrinkage of the garments.

There are some factors that can potentially damage the fiber, but the Wavy control Wavy GD dryers automatically manage these, preventing undesirable effects. However, proper preparation for the drum drying phase begins even before selecting the cycle: the additives loaded during the various washing and rinsing phases also contribute to the optimal preparation of the fiber for drying in the dryer. Professional drying is a process that cares for the textile fibers while removing water from the fabric. However, to achieve flawless results, simply controlling the temperature, time, and drum rotation is not enough. Synergy and correlation are necessary in the management of drying parameters. Therefore, it is no longer a matter of a countdown, but of phases of a process that is self-regulating in terms of intensity and duration, depending on the moisture content of the fabrics.

The professional treatment process for delicate fabrics ends with the finishing phase, which gives the garments the final touch: whether it's shaped ironing, pressing, or simply steaming a garment, we have the right tool for the job. In fact, the range of finishing products is very varied and consists of professional ironing tables with suction, blowing, or steaming functions, presses equipped with tables of different sizes, mannequins and toppers, steam and ozone generators, irons, and portable steamers.
