Valclene SDC Drycleaning Solvent is superior!

Nearly 400 swatch towels were analyzed during a 550 load test series. These pre-soiled swatches on towels were cleaned with regular loads in controlled machine tests. Independent laboratory analysis of the swatches established the superiority of Valclene SDC over the other leading solvents in rug soil removal, cotton-polyester redeposition, and cotton redeposition.
