Checking Care Labels
Not all curtains are the same, and that’s why we first note down any special washing instructions mentioned in the care labels or any notes that you leave with the order. We highly encourage you to send us notes about the kind of result you’re expecting and if there are any stains we should be aware of before starting the dry cleaning process.

Stain Spotting
In our time we’ve cleaned blood, milk, curry, ink, lipstick, you name it! But the key to delivering a clean piece of drapery is to spot the item in good time after stains are first encountered. Then, we select the right cleaning chemical and hand-clean the affected area if required. Many spots and stains we have come across have vanished as if they were never there in the first place!

Eco-Friendly Cleaning
We’re one of the first users of WetCare in London, an eco-friendly, biodegradable cleaning process introduced by German manufacturer Miele. The WetCare process is much kinder to the environment because it does not have perchlorates aka PERC which are preferred by traditional dry cleaners across the UK. Plus, we are powered by green electricity thanks to our partnership with Ecotrcitiy who are the UK’s biggest provider of green energy. We also have big plans to electrify our fleet of delivery vans and ensure that we offer London’s most sustainable laundry and dry cleaning pick up and drop off service.

Into the Machine
At 1 Stop Wash, we use machines that are large enough to accommodate all sizes of curtains and draperies. Each item is thoroughly inspected to calculate the right combination of water temperature, detergent concentration and drum cycle. Once this is done, the machine does the rest of the heavy lifting. Our machines are extremely water and energy efficient which demonstrates why we are the best option for you when it comes to curtain dry cleaning.

Drying
At 1 Stop Wash, we have industrial dryers that offer the softest and most thorough air drying result. Drying curtains well ensures longevity of the fabric, kills dust mites and is a safeguard against skin infections. We take it quite seriously but have the right set up in place to give curtains a natural dry via hanging up in our cleaning facilities.

Pressing
Curtains are long, delicate works of art and need special pressing attachments. Thankfully, our dry cleaning HQ has the most updated equipment so when we’re done pressing your draperies, they’ll come out looking better than new.

A laundry and dry cleaning business that cares for you

We use WetCare, a chlorine-free biodegradable detergent that is kinder to the environment and safer for your skin. Our detergents and softeners reduce water use, runoffs and rejuvenate the fabric.

Greenest, cleanest curtain dry cleaning service in London

Laundry and dry cleaning is an energy-hungry business. Hence, why we have teamed up with Ecotricity, the largest provider of green energy in the United Kingdom. We’re also going to have a fleet of electric delivery vans so that we can offer a more sustainable pick up and drop off service.

Reusable bags

We provide you with reusable bags with your first order that can be used time and time again. This goes a long way in reducing wastage. We make sure to also sanitise your bag after every use to avoid your newly cleaned curtains/clothes being spoiled by previous bacteria and dirt.

State of the art curtain dry cleaning equipment

We have and continue to invest heavily in the best cleaning equipment around. This not only helps to conserve water and energy but also gives you the best cleaning results. Many of our customers also note how they are seeing reduced levels of shrinkage and microfiber release when they start using the 1 Stop Wash laundry service.
