1 – Read The Care Label

Every shirt comes with a care label and this will tell us all we need to know about the best washing and drying methods, this information will help us preserve and extend the life cycle of your shirts.

2 – Spotting/Pre Inspection

At this stage, we thoroughly inspect the cuffs, collars, sleeves and pockets for built up grime, dirt, sweat marks and other stains. This part is crucial because cuffs and collars tend to attract the most sweat, dust and oil through day to day use.

3 – Cleaning

Depending on the care label instructions, we either machine wash or dry clean your shirts. We are in fact wet cleaners so do not use traditional dry cleaning equipment, find out more about eco friendly dry cleaning here. We use water based technology which produces far better cleaning results and is also much more gentle on the environment.

4 – Shirt Ironing

In 2018, we invested in a state of the art shirt pressing machine, in partnership with Barbanti, an Italian company who have made shirt press machines since 1957. Shirts are put onto the machine damp, straight from the washer and secured by strong clamps which help to keep the shirts in shape once hot steam is blown throughout. We can iron up to 300 shirts per hour with fantastic results every single time.

At 1 Stop Wash, we look at all parts of our business to see how we can be kinder to the environment whilst maintaining excellent cleaning and ironing standards. Our methods are designed to get to shirt cleaning expertise as efficiently as possible and there is a strong focus on finding more sustainable ways to deliver a first class shirt laundry service.

Many of our customers also note how they are seeing reduced levels of clothes shrinkage and microfiber release when they start using the 1 Stop Wash shirt service.

Cleaning shirts uses lots of electricity and water. We have teamed up with Ecotricity, the UKs largest provider of green energy to power our shirt laundry service whilst reducing our carbon footprint. Our machines also self optimise to ensure they only use as much water needed.
