Cleaning in a three-tank machine
Cleaning suedes, leathers, furs and
fabric combinations in any three-tank drycleaning machine is
simplicity itself when the drycleaning fluid in the machine is
charged with an additive like Royaltone Detergent Plus
Conditioner.
If the three-tank machine has only two
operating tanks and a third holding tank, it is essentially a
two tank machine and for our purposes, the variations possible
in its use for
cleaning suedes, leathers, furs and cloth
combinations are the same as previously described for a two
tank machine.

If the three tank machine has three
operating tanks or if the machine is a four-tank machine with
three operating tanks, it presents a perfect machine
configuration for the cleaning of suedes, leathers, furs and
fabric combinations using the detergent plus conditioner.
If all three operating tanks are
available, then there is only one variation needed to provide
the easiest, least demanding, most flexible and highest quality
results in cleaning suedes, leathers, furs, cloth combinations
and cloth articles.
Three tanks, one variation
In this three-tank variation, the
drycleaning fluid in the entire first tank system is charged
with a 6 percent concentration of the detergent plus
conditioner. This 6 percent tank system is used to clean all
dark and bright colored suedes, leathers, heavy textured furs
and any cloth combinations trimmed with any of these. The
result will be cleaning virtually without color loss, fading,
stiffening, hardening or drying out of the skin and high
quality drycleaning of the cloth portions of the trimmed items.
The drycleaning fluid in the entire
second tank system is charged with a 2 percent concentration of
the detergent plus conditioner. This 2 percent tank system is
used to clean all light and pastel colored suedes, leathers,
light textured furs (rabbit fur) and cloth combinations trimmed
with suede, leather or fur, virtually without color loss,
fading, hardening, stiffening or drying out the skin and with
excellent drycleaning of the cloth portions of the trimmed
articles.
The drycleaning fluid in the entire third
tank system is charged with a 1 percent concentration of the
detergent plus conditioner and is used for cleaning cloth items
only, with the added benefits of virtually no bleeding or
fading of colors in articles like corduroys, velvets, silks,
sleeping bags, surface prints and designer jeans. There will be
no streaks or swales on silks or sleeping bags and, with fewer
wrinkles on all items after cleaning and drying, it will be
noticeably easier to press. Also, it provides significantly
longer filter life as a result of the stabilization of the dye
in the fabric so that less dye is removed from the clothes per
pound cleaned and the organic texturizing sizing does not cause
a pressure buildup. Therefore, the color of the drycleaning
fluid stays lighter longer and the filter pressure stays lower
longer.
With the three operating tank machine,
there is no need to batch clean. Each tank system is used only
for those items that it is ideally set up to handle. The
operator just calls for the tank with the proper percent
concentration of the detergent plus conditioner for each job,
with the ease of pushing a button or inserting a card.
