Step 2: Cleaning
Products are cleaned using TERSUS Solutions, the world’s most advanced waterless cleaning technology, which harnesses the gentle cleaning properties of liquid CO2 to remove oils, particulates, and odor that degrade the useful life of apparel.
In this closed-loop system, the CO2 starts out as a gas and is compressed to a liquid. Once in liquid form, it runs similar to a standard washing machine, using an environmentally safe detergent through cleaning and rinsing cycles. At the end of the process, the pressure is released and the CO2 turns back into a gas. This process eliminates the need for water, thus using fewer natural resources, and produces no effluent. The avoidance of heat also protects garments against shrinkage and fiber degradation.
