Instructions for using Custom-Care Finish®
WHAT DOES CUSTOM-CARE FINISH DO?
When added in the proper concentration, Custom-Care Finish improves the look and texture of all drycleanable fabrics, restoring garments to their original look and feel.
WHAT AFFECTS THE RESULTS?
The most important factor affecting fabric finish performance is the use concentration, or “charge” of Custom-Care Finish added to the working solvent. The correct charge causes a noticeable effect. A lower concentration may not be noticeable at all and be of little or no benefit.
In addition to the charge concentration, the amount of Custom-Care Finish left in the clothes is affected by extraction efficiency. Because many machines have different wash wheel diameters and different extraction speeds, the amount of solvent (and Custom-Care Finish) retained in clothes at the end of the cycle can vary. Therefore, you will want to adjust the charge concentration to suit the needs of your system.
HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE USED ENOUGH?
You know you have used enough Custom-Care Finish when it becomes easier to finish garments and when they are restored to their “like-new” shape and feel. In addition, the look and texture of garments should noticeably improve and clearly be more wrinkle resistant.
Start with a concentration of one and one-half ounces per gallon, and increase or decrease it as necessary to achieve the best look and feel. For most plants, the ideal concentration will be found between one and two ounces per gallon of solvent.

Gives “New Life” to Fabrics™
Restore Limp, Lifeless Garments to their Original Look and Feel.
Customers notice detail. And when the look and texture of their garments is improved, you can be sure they’ll appreciate it.
Custom-Care Finish will restore limp, lifeless garments to that “just bought” look and feel. Custom-Care Finish contains a special formula which, when added to solvent, restores the vibrance to textiles that can be lost through wear and repeated cleanings. The result is not only a better looking garment, but one that resists wrinkling and holds its press longer.
Custom-Care Finish not only revitalizes all drycleanable fabrics, all year around, it shortens finishing time. Custom-Care Finish should be an important part of your process - for a noticeable difference to your customers.
Give garments new vitality and keep your customers coming back.
Restores Garments to “Like-New” Condition
Wear and repeated cleanings remove the original finishes that give new clothes their special qualities. Custom-Care Finish restores garments to their original look and feel, reflecting the high quality of your work.
Helps Garments Resist Wrinkling
Custom-Care Finish protects garments after they leave your plant. They will resist wrinkling due to handling, crowding on racks, or in your customer’s closet.
Everything You Clean Will Benefit

Shortens Finishing Time.
Pressing is faster because it’s easier to restore the original look to garments.
