The best way to answer is to start with: “What is the difference between wet cleaning and dry cleaning?”
Dry cleaning—everyone knows the name, but not always the process. It is used to clean all types of textiles, as well as leather, without exposing them to water. But water is needed, and lots of it, to cool the entire system. Only one machine is needed, but there are three steps: stain removal, washing, and drying. Solvents are also required for each step, often hydrocarbons such as tetrachloroethylene or PERC, which has been recognized as harmful to the environment since March 29, 2000, but is not yet banned. Several cleaners have already replaced it with other solvents such as D5 (silicone), Arcaclean (propylene glycol), Solvon K4 (acetal), or other hydrocarbons such as KWL and Ktex, which are not banned but are certainly not good for the environment.

After five years of research, we have developed a unique, green, and 100% eco-friendly water-based cleaning solution: Aquaperformance. We use water and natural detergents, the dosage of which depends on the type of fabric, the quantity, and the machine program, for a deep clean. Only water cleaning allows you to clean all the fibers in your laundry. We then use a machine for drying, which allows us to better control our energy consumption. The end result is that your laundry is truly clean and washed without any toxic products or solvent odors, and you help us protect the soil, aquatic environments, and air.
The DaoustEco teams combine years of research and development to create a natural detergent with modern, efficient washers and dryers for perfect results every time. Our commitment to protecting the environment goes even further.
We offer our customers the option of replacing plastic packaging with a cleaning cover that also serves as a garment bag after cleaning. We also recycle hangers and offer repair services at all our branches.
