WHAT IS THE BEST CLEANING METHOD?
Our answer is to always follow the Care Label on your clothes.
Genuine garments come with care labels that provide specific instructions for proper care. Check your item and you will find the manufacturer's guide how to care for the item.
Just like you wouldn’t fill a gasoline car with diesel or a diesel car with gasoline because it would damage the engine, the same principle applies to garment care. If the care label on your item says "DRY-CLEAN", that's the best cleaning method. If it says "WET-CLEAN", that's the recommended method. Ignoring the care label is the quickest way to damage your garment.
ABSOLUTE will NOT IMPOSE our cleaning opinion on you. If you believe the publicity that dry-cleaning is not environmentally friendly, then avoid buying items with a “dry-clean” care label. If you have a dry-clean-only item and prefer to have it wet-cleaned, document your instructions in writing, and we’ll follow them. As Manila’s largest dry-cleaning company, ABSOLUTE has the latest equipment and is CERTIFIED for both dry-cleaning and wet-cleaning. ABSOLUTE is even CERTIFIED to care for the most delicate of items - wedding gowns!
At ABSOLUTE, we believe being environmentally friendly means making your garments look new and last longer. When clothes are damaged by the wrong cleaning method, they become waste. As an apparel care and maintenance company, our job is to follow the garment’s care label and guarantee that the service is done with due care and skill and that the equipment we use are fit for the purpose.
What are Care Labels?
A Care Label is defined as a "permanent label or tag, containing regular care information and instructions, that is attached or affixed in such a manner that it will not become separated from the product and will remain legible during the useful life of the product".
In the US, the Care Labeling Rule requires all textile manufacturers selling products in the United States to provide labels that inform consumers regarding the best ways to care for their products.
Because people do laundry all around the world, the industry has created a standard of five basic symbols that form a kind of universal language.

DRY-CLEANING and WET-CLEANING EXPLAINED
What is Dry-Cleaning?
What is Dry-Cleaning?
What is Dry-Cleaning?
There is nothing truly 'dry' about dry-cleaning.
Delicate items are loaded into a machine that completes a cleaning cycle, similar to a regular washing machine. The process is called “Dry-Clean” because the process does not use water. Instead, chemicals are used to eliminate oils and impurities from your delicate items.
It must be highlighted that because Dry-cleaning does not use water, it will preserves the integrity of delicate fabrics by preventing shrinkage and fading.
It must also be clarified that ABSOLUTE Dry-cleaning is very different from your backyard 'hand washing', 'lub-lub' or 'wisik-wisik' dry-cleaning which often causes fading and shrinkage. This is what they do 😱 😱 😱 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sqa5oLEm6Oc
The ABSOLUTE Dry-Cleaning process is undertaken using a microprocessor-controlled machine that is as large as a Toyota Raize. The size of the equipment explains why Real Dry-Cleaning can only be undertaken in a centralized laundry facility, not a small laundry shop.
The ABSOLUTE dry-clean equipment is a fully contained machine. Items are washed and dried in the same machine, meaning items enter the machine dry and exit dry, ensuring the complete removal of all traces of chemicals from your clothes and NO Bad Odors.
When entrusting an item for dry-cleaning, always INQUIRE if the laundry shop uses a DEDICATED dry-cleaning machine — Do not settle for anything less than ABSOLUTE!

What is Wet-Cleaning?

What is Dry-Cleaning?
Wet-cleaning is an alternative to the tested dry-cleaning process. It is called Wet-Cleaning because it is Water based. Special Chemicals are injected in a washing machine with delicate wash programs, then items are transferred to a dryer with moisture control feature.
In 2017, ABSOLUTE achieved the distinction of being the first certified Wet-cleaner in the Philippines with LAGOON, and in 2022, we further solidified our expertise with the completion of our G-WET Certification. While ABSOLUTE is both CERTIFIED and equipped for wet-cleaning, our commitment is in observing the CARE LABEL of your delicate items.
When is wet-cleaning used by ABSOLUTE? Wet-cleaning is implemented exclusively when the care label of the item explicitly indicates that wet-cleaning is suitable. We firmly uphold professional standards, and we consider wet-cleaning an item with a dry-clean care label to be unprofessional.
Real Talk. Based on our experience, as of 2024 wet-cleaning is the 2nd best cleaning method. Dry-Cleaning is still the best method to clean delicate items! A technical discussion: Heat and water cause wrinkles.

When your cleaner states - "Wet-Cleaning is superior," it is because 99% of the time they cannot dry-clean as they do not have the space nor the environmental permit to operate a dry-cleaning machine.
TIP: Professional cleaners follow the care label provided by the creator so the garment. The creators knows best!
