01
Initial Inspection & Tagging
We examine each garment for stains, fabric type, and care labels, then tag it so it can be tracked at every stage.
What is Wet Cleaning?
Wet cleaning is redefining professional garment care globally. Using advanced programmable machines and biodegradable detergents, wet cleaning provides a water-based, gentle solution for even the most delicate “dry-clean only” fabrics. This process avoids toxic solvents and harsh chemicals, ensuring every garment receives custom treatment that preserves softness, color, and shape—making it the leading alternative to traditional dry cleaning.
Why Wet Cleaning is the Next Dry Cleaning?
Across the world, dry cleaners are rapidly adopting wet cleaning technologies to meet customer demand for eco-friendly, health-conscious fabric care. Regulatory pressure to reduce chemical use, technological advances, and the versatility of wet cleaning drive this shift. Kathmandu’s discerning customers are now seeking wet cleaning for both luxury wear and sensitive items.
