Checking Out Alternatives?

Several alternative cleaning solvents are being offered to the drycleaning industry with a variety of attractive sales claims. Certainly, one might expect some to perform better than others, and for there to be differences in use costs, capital equipment investment, and operation requirements. In addition, as with any new technology, there are sure to be differences in the status of product development and commercial experience. As an alternative choice, only DF-2000™ Fluid provides the peace of mind that comes from a well-developed, broadly supported technology with a track record of proven performance. 

Proven Cleaning Performance

When examining alternatives, a primary concern should be the ability of the technology to realistically meet or exceed the drycleaning consumer's cleaning performance expectations under practical commercial conditions. Without effective, reliable, and consistently repeatable cleaning performance, there is no reason to investigate further. DF-2000 Fluid, when used in conjunction with properly designed machinery, cleaning processes and additives, can provide cleaning performance comparable to perc and better than any other alternative currently available.

ü    Can be used with many sensitive fabrics and trim

ü    Removes oil / grease from garments (solvent soluble soil)  

ü    Removes pigment soil (insoluble soil) from garments

ü    Aids in the removal of water soluble soil when an effective detergent is used correctly

ü   Virtually odorless

ü   Compatible with fabric finish additives for restoring body to garments

Reliable

Since its introduction in 1994, DF-2000 Fluid has delivered consistent cleaning performance with no reformulations or stability problems. Some alternatives currently in use are still in their field testing phase, and as a result, have been changed and modified several times already, varying the product and the results. In addition, some alternative solvents do not remain stable over time and have characteristics that can change. DF-2000 Fluid has stood the test of time by delivering consistent and reliable results. That’s why we call it The Proven Alternative.

ü   No moisture build-up to cause shrinkage and or water soluble dye bleeding

ü   Safe to use 

ü    Solvent remains stable through multiple distillation and reclamation cycles

ü   Synthetic production process controls solvent composition for consistent, premium quality

Cost Effective

Capital and operating costs  are always important when making a long-term business decision. The additional costs associated with other alternatives can significantly affect your bottom line, as other alternatives may cost more to operate without a corresponding increase in sales revenue. DF-2000 Fluid is the most cost effective alternative solvent. There are no usage, franchise or royalty fees required. In many states where a solvent usage tax has been imposed, DF-2000 Fluid is either exempt or the usage tax per gallon is minimal.

ü   No need to purchase overly expensive machinery

ü   Reasonable labor and production costs

ü   No franchise fees to pay
