Gentlewash

Gentlewash® is a professional, complete and precise system for washing and drying delicate fabrics: coats, formal dresses, dinner jackets, cashmere jumpers, dresses with embroidery or sequins, stage costumes and uniforms. A system that uses water and specific detergents for the treatment of knitwear and delicate fabrics: the 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 closes the process, facilitated by the knit made docile to ironing. 

The Gentlewash® system proposes a wet cleaning method capable of treating the most delicate garments with a gentle touch while maintaining their specific properties, even after numerous cycles. We call it a system because it's based on the teamwork of a washing machine and dryer: two evolved tools at the disposal of the operators' professionalism. 

Gentlewash® redistributes the constituent factors of the washing action with special attention to time and chemical management. Small doses of mechanical action and thermal energy allow the chemical, in the right time, to act to the full, avoiding waste and safeguarding the environment. Washing management is fundamentally based on four closely linked factors : temperature, mechanical action, chemical action, time.

This is the well-known Sinner's diagram, which summarises the washing technology. Once, for example, we reduce temperature and mechanical action, we must increase time and chemicals to maintain the sum of factors unchanged. And here you can see the potential of the Wavy control system: it allows the full management of the entire parameters. 

Each parameter can be modified even while the cycle is in progress, meaning that the expert user, once the washing process has started, can modify all the parameters to meet specific needs. Versatility, is the keyword that summarises Wavy features, and which can also be seen remotely: with the Wi-Fi and the connection to TheMind.cloud it is possible to customise, and send to the machine, the washing cycles, so that they are always up-to-date, efficient and performing. 

There is a 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 wet from the one that is too dry, is the goal of the professional drum-drying process. When the garment is inside the dryer, the buffer function performed by water, during the washing, disappears. Instead we have hot, dry air with all its drying power. The line between dry and arid is very thin and, once crossed, leads to irreparable consequences such as friction between fibres, felting and shrinkage of the garments. 

There are some potentially dangerous factors for the fiber that the Wavy control system  and GD dryers manage automatically, preventing undesirable effects. The right preparation for the drying phase begins, however, even before the selection of the cycle: the additives loaded in the various washing and rinsing phases also contribute to the optimal preparation of the fibre for the drying phase. Professional drying is a process that takes care of the textile fibres while removing water from the fabric. To achieve flawless results, however, a simple control of temperature, time and drum rotation is not enough. What is needed is synergy and correlation in the management of the drying parameters. No longer a countdown, therefore, but phases of a process that are self-regulating in terms of intensity and duration, depending on the moisture content of the fabrics. 

The process of professional treatment of delicate fabrics ends with the finishing phase that gives garments the final touch: whether it's a complete ironing process, a fast finishing touch with the press or the steaming, we have the right tool for you. The range of finishing products, indeed, is quite complete and consists of professional suction, blowing or steaming ironing tables, presses equipped with different sizes of tables, dummies and toppers, steam and ozone generators, irons and portable steamers.
