The Glenforest Way
Water-based cleaning, considered spotting and careful finishing. We value your clothes as much as you do.
Care Begins with the Garment
Fabric, construction and condition guide the care. Every garment is inspected for marks and earlier treatments, then formed and finished for the way it is worn.
Water-Based Care.
Individual Attention.
Nothing is more natural than water. That is why we use water as the solvent in wet cleaning. Wet cleaning is not an ordinary load of laundry: the approach is chosen for each garment, from spotting to finishing. In 2007, Glenforest switched to 100% wet cleaning: see why wet cleaning wins.
Five Stages of Care
Every garment moves through the same five stages.
Assess
Begin with the fabric, its construction and the person who wears it.
Spot
Give individual marks the attention they need.
Wet Clean
Use low levels of water and very little mechanical action, with care chosen for the piece.
Finish
Form and finish each garment, with care to avoid shine and impressions.
Return
Hand it back finished, in store or on your free pickup and delivery route.
