Cleaning And Disinfection Of Fabrics In The Balearic Islands

How Do We Work?

After evaluating the type of material and stains we will work with, our team defines the most appropriate cleaning method and
products for each specific scenario.

  1. We make sure to vacuum the fabric well.
  2. We begin the stain and odour pretreatment process by shaking the fibres.
  3. We inject and extract all impurities and dirt.

Unlike other companies, our industrial machines have heaters that raise the water temperature to 70 degrees. This not only helps make the cleaning more thorough but also eliminates any microorganisms that may be present on the fabric.

What To Expect From Our Fabric Coatings.

Our fabric coatings offer a highly durable superphobic layer that protects fabrics with a layer approximately 100nm thick. This coating provides a highly durable, stain-resistant coating for almost all fabrics. Most coatings only offer hydrophobic protection; Our coatings also provide protection against stains from oil-based agents.

FAQ:

Q: Water can penetrate fabrics coated with its Liquid coating.
Glass. I thought the coating was waterproof.
A: The coating offers a strong hydrophobic effect on the coated fibres, but there are always spaces between the fibres, and water will always fill these spaces. The spaces we refer to differ in size, and fabrics with a “very open weave” will allow water to fill the spaces more easily than fabrics with tiny spaces. Water passes into these spaces if the fabric is submerged or if the water is pushed or dropped on the surface.
Water is easily removed from the wet surface with a dry cloth. Coats and hats that are protected can be shaken to extract moisture.
Q: Can I make the fabric “fully waterproof” with your Liquid Glass fabric coating?

A: The only way to make a fabric completely waterproof is to plug the gaps in it, causing it to act like a plastic bag since it does not breathe.
Q: Can I heat/iron liners coated with Liquid Glass textile liners?
A: Heating the coated fabric will improve the performance of the coating. We recommend that coated fabrics be ironed after the coating has dried. An iron warmed to approximately 130°C is recommended.
Q: Can I remove oil and stains from coated fabrics?
A: Oil is often introduced into the fabric, filling the spaces between the fibres. If you press a tissue on the surface, you will remove some of the available oil, but the oil will still cover some of the fibres (the oil will only sit on the coating; it will not penetrate the coated fabric). To remove oil and stains, use a mild detergent and warm water to remove the oil. Avoid rubbing or scrubbing the coated fabric.
Q: Can I wash coated fabric?
A: We strongly recommend that coated fabrics be washed gently in warm water (30°C). Cleaning in a washing machine or hot water will remove the coating. Our liners will withstand more than 20 hand wash cycles.
Q: How long will the coating stay on the fabric?
A: There are two factors to consider. Firstly, how firmly has the coating adhered to the fabric? Some fabrics allow for excellent
liner bonding, while others may have a high nylon content that does not allow for a great union. Next, there is the consideration of wear and tear. The coatings are exceptionally durable and withstand high levels of abrasion. Real-time testing confirms that the liners will stay in place on household carpets in hightraffic
areas (in the entrance area) for at least 18 months. Our coatings are considerably more durable than most fabric coverings.
Q: Can I coat fabrics when the coatings have degraded?
A: Coating a fabric is simple. Spray Liquid Glass onto the fabric and apply the coating with a gloved hand. Allow the coating to dry for 24 hours before heavy use.
Q: How long will coatings last in non-abrasion areas, such as wall hangings or architectural fabric coverings?
A: The coatings are UV stable and will last for many years. We have coated fabrics in our project collection that were coated ten years ago and continue to deliver exceptional performance.
Q: Are the coatings UV-resistant?
A: All our coatings are UV resistant.
Q: Can leather and suede be coated?
A: Many leather products are coated with polishes or oils. We cannot effectively coat these surfaces; however, Liquid Glass offers protection from contact with natural suede and leather. “Contact protection” means water and oils should not penetrate the coating if removed within approximately 3 minutes.
Q: Can I cover dirty fabrics?

A: Liquid glass coating should be applied to clean surfaces. Dirty or fabric conditioner-coated surfaces prevent the coating from adhering directly to the fabric surface gents.

These images show fibres coated with Liquid Glass. You will notice the spaces between the fibres. Liquids will pass through these spaces, but the fibre is protected from stains. Thicker "old technology" coatings will fill these gaps, producing a waterproof but rigid, non-breathable coating.
