EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 3175-4 testing. ISO 3175-4 specifies simulated professional wet cleaning procedures for fabrics and garments using a reference machine.

Designed for non-washable fabrics and garments that require professional finishing. It consists of a normal process for normal materials, a gentle process for sensitive materials, and a very gentle process for very sensitive materials.

Professional wet cleaning is used by professionals for cleaning textiles in water. It uses special equipment, programming, detergents and other additives to minimize negative effects on textiles such as mechanical impact and temperature. This is followed by drying and restorative finishing procedures, in most cases by steam treatment or hot pressing.

The properties of the textile or garment may change gradually after professional wet cleaning, steaming or pressing. In some cases, a single operation may give little insight into the extent of dimensional and other changes that may occur after repeated operations and affect the useful life of the article. In general, most of the potential change becomes apparent after three to five of the simulated professional wet cleaning and finishing treatments specified in this standard. This gradual change should be kept in mind when determining the number of repeated cycles given.
