Care 4.0 combines low-mechanical-action machines, targeted BÜFA chemistry and a TARAX process: sort only light/dark, fill ≥60%, clean + dry + finish in about one hour.
Challenges
Care 4.0 answers real shop problems — not just a “new detergent”.
Regulations and solvent cost push for an alternative. Wet cleaning covers a large part of the load without forcing you to abandon the entire DC line.
Wool, silk, cashmere, wedding dresses and curtains need low mechanical action and protective chemistry — not a domestic “delicates” program.
Sorting only light/dark and fixed programs reduce errors. TARAX trains at installation.
High spin before the dryer and gentle reverse dry shorten the flow — the garment reaches VEIT finishing sooner.
Process
Five steps from reception to delivery — with low mechanical action (5″ motion / 25″ pause) and high spin before drying.
01
Light vs dark only — not by fibre or care label.
02
Drum fill ≥60% for correct mechanics and chemistry.
03
Programme + dosing Polar / Carat / Citro / Protect Pro.
04
E.g. 15′ at 70°C reverse gentle — low mechanical action.
05
VEIT tables / presses — the garment ready for handover.
Chemistry
Four core products — and optional extras. The former Lizerna Conditioner has been replaced by Lizerna Protect Pro (finishing + waterproofing without PFAS).
Liquid detergent with colour protection — the heart of the Care 4.0 wash.
Protective film for wool and delicate fabrics.
Natural acid for pH neutralisation after the alkaline phase.
Replaces the Conditioner — care and waterproofing without PFAS.
Optional
Oxygen bleaching where brightness is needed without chlorine.
Pre-treatment of greasy spots before the main wash.
Fragranced finishing when the shop offers it as a service.
Ecological alkaline detergent for selected brochure programs. Request specs via contact.
Equipment
Wet-capable washers, dryers, automatic dosing and finishing — brand-agnostic selection based on your space.
Professional LA with delicate programmes — the heart of the Care 4.0 wash.
Low-mechanical programmes — e.g. 15′ at 70°C — after high extract.
Venturi dosing for OPL / Care 4.0 — cycle consistency, Hub App, less maintenance.
The garment leaves the shop — consistent presentation quality after Care 4.0.
For a new shop: Dry cleaner — Wet Only Starter Pack.
Programmes
From wool and wedding gowns to hotel linen and kitchen — one system, targeted programmes.
W and hand-wash programmes — low mechanical action, Carat + Polar.
Volume and fabric sensitivity with a gentle drum action.
A dedicated flow for duvets and down without excessive mechanical action.
Colour protection with Polar — consistent shift-to-shift results.
Whites with Synergy where needed; shirts ready for VEIT.
Hotel linen and kitchen textiles — guest laundry / valet flows.
