"Cleaners can be cheap. Poor cleaning is always expensive."
- Mike Valenti, Director of Technology
The Real Cost of Cleaning
More than half of shops say they could save at least 10% of cleaning-related costs by resolving cleaning issues. Rework is the most common cost associated with cleaning issues, experienced by 93% of shops.
The price of equipment and chemicals is just one consideration when looking at the cost of your cleaning operations. The bigger cost comes from defects due to poor cleaning that cause rework, rejects, and labor. In fact, job and captive shops attribute 17% of their quality defects to poor pre-treating and cleaning.
Conversely, shops that adhere to a strict cleaning process:
-
are more than 4x as likely to have a 1% or lower quality defect rate, and
-
say they have 40% fewer defects due to poor cleaning versus those with a loose process or occasional cleaning.*

The Great Cleaning Debate: Aqueous vs. Solvent
Solvent cleaners are highly effective, aggressive cleaners that consume less energy, don’t require waste treatment, and offer faster drying. However, they only clean organic soils and may be limited by regulatory, environmental, health, and safety (EHS) restrictions.
Aqueous cleaners are readily available, safer to handle, and remove both organic and inorganic soils. However, they consume more energy and require wastewater treatment and additional process steps.
As the only supplier of both cleaning technologies, we will give you an unbiased recommendation. Which cleaning method is best for you?
