Conventional dry cleaning is very polluting and uses a lot of water: it is done through the use of solvents rather than washing water, as well as water to cool the solvents.
Perchlorethylene, used for a long time, has been replaced by other hydrocarbons, which are unfortunately also dangerous for health and the environment.

At Facettes, we advise you to favor eco-responsible dry cleaners: they use an aqua-cleaning solution, cleaning with water also called “wet cleaning” or “aqua cleaning”. This technique uses water with additives (detergents and primers) but no dangerous solvents, and its water consumption is less than traditional dry cleaning techniques. Aqua-cleaning consumes between 9 and 15 liters of water, compared to 30 liters for traditional dry cleaners.
The other good news is that aqua cleaning is just as effective and efficient as dry cleaning in terms of stain removal capacity. It uses specific washers and dryers, making it suitable for all types of textiles, even the most delicate.

​A jacket rarely comes into direct contact with the skin, so it is not necessary to wash it very frequently. Ecological dry cleaning is recommended to restore its shine, once a quarter if you wear it often. It is advisable to air your jacket regularly to eliminate any odors, such as cigarette odors for example.
