Cleaning is classified based on the brand garment’s style, material, color, type of stains, and care label instructions.
1. Standard Cleaning:
Clothing made from common fabrics with regular stains, styles, and color types is suitable for standard cleaning.
Example: Light-colored cotton tops or home wear without special stains can be cleaned using professional mechanical water-washing machines—this falls under standard cleaning.
YOUNGER Standard Operating Procedure for Mechanical Water Wash:
Pre-wash → Main wash → Rinse → Rinse → Softening treatment
2. Special Cleaning:
This applies to garments with special stains, color transfer, dye issues, stubborn aged stains, deep stain removal, pet hair, or bodily waste. All of these require specialized cleaning procedures.
These garments typically fall under special care cases and must be handled jointly by experienced cleaning technicians and garment finishing specialists. The process is time-consuming and carries relatively higher risk.
Example 1:
Wool coats or silk garments stained with red wine cannot be thoroughly cleaned with standard dry cleaning and require special water-based cleaning.
YOUNGER Special Water-Based Cleaning Procedure:
Targeted stain removal → Gentle wash → Rinse → Rinse → Softening treatment
Example 2:
Garments with mold, yellowing, or stains from long-term storage cannot be effectively cleaned with dry cleaning and also require special water-based cleaning.
YOUNGER Special Water-Based Cleaning Procedure:
Targeted stain removal → Soak and hand wash → Rinse → Rinse → Softening treatment
Delicate Cleaning:
Garments made of specialty fabrics, top global designer brands, intricate styles, or those with complex multi-color combinations require delicate cleaning.
These garments are generally not suitable for machine washing and must be individually hand washed.
They must be handled by experienced cleaning specialists and garment finishers, as the process is time-intensive and involves higher risk.
Examples:
Cleaning designer silk garments such as Shiatzy Chen, multi-colored fashion pieces, and clothing with sequins.
YOUNGER Delicate Cleaning Procedure:
Targeted stain removal → Hand gentle wash → Rinse → Rinse → Softening treatment
