BÜFA Care 4.0 · Wet cleaning

Wet cleaning simply — a system, not a “gentle wash”

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.

Why is a wet cleaning system needed?

Care 4.0 answers real shop problems — not just a “new detergent”.

⚖️

Transition from perc

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.

🧣

Delicate garments

Wool, silk, cashmere, wedding dresses and curtains need low mechanical action and protective chemistry — not a domestic “delicates” program.

📘

Staff know-how

Sorting only light/dark and fixed programs reduce errors. TARAX trains at installation.

⏱️

Finishing time

High spin before the dryer and gentle reverse dry shorten the flow — the garment reaches VEIT finishing sooner.

How Care 4.0 works

Five steps from reception to delivery — with low mechanical action (5″ motion / 25″ pause) and high spin before drying.

01

Sorting

Light vs dark only — not by fibre or care label.

02

Loading

Drum fill ≥60% for correct mechanics and chemistry.

03

Care 4.0 wash

Programme + dosing Polar / Carat / Citro / Protect Pro.

04

Drying

E.g. 15′ at 70°C reverse gentle — low mechanical action.

05

Finishing

VEIT tables / presses — the garment ready for handover.

Care 4.0 core stack

Four core products — and optional extras. The former Lizerna Conditioner has been replaced by Lizerna Protect Pro (finishing + waterproofing without PFAS).

Additives & special programmes

Machines & a line that support Care 4.0

Wet-capable washers, dryers, automatic dosing and finishing — brand-agnostic selection based on your space.

Frequently asked questions

Professional water wash with controlled low-mechanical-action programs and specialised chemistry for delicate fabrics. It is not a domestic “delicate” — it is a dry-cleaner process.
Wet cleaning system: machines + chemistry + process. In Greece TARAX handles study, dosing, training and finishing. About 30% less chemistry versus traditional wet cleaning, with ~1 hour clean–dry–finish.
Lizerna Conditioner is no longer in the line. In Care 4.0 the finishing / care role is covered by Lizerna Protect Pro — care and waterproofing without PFAS.
Not necessarily. Many shops work hybrid: Care 4.0 for most of the load and DC where it is still needed. The TARAX study looks at this by volume and regulations.
Yes — and it is part of the setup. Programs, dosing, light/dark sorting and finishing. Process simplicity shortens learning time versus traditional wet cleaning by fibre.
