Industrial textile cleaning is the controlled, professional cleaning of durable fabrics and textile assemblies used in manufacturing, processing, and heavy-industry environments.
Unlike household laundry, this kind of work deals with large-format items, persistent industrial soils (oils, greases, heavy particulates, chemical residues), and textiles that must meet strict process or safety specifications after cleaning.
ACE Environmental tailors its industrial cleaning methods—including mechanical agitation, high-efficiency washing, solvent cleaning, steam, and controlled drying—based on fabric type, contamination, and end-use requirements.
The Industrial Textile Cleaning Process
At ACE, we use a stepwise, documented process to ensure consistent, verifiable results:
Assessment & Testing
We inspect fabric construction, seams, coatings, and contaminants to determine the safest and most-effective cleaning method. When required, we perform small-scale tests to verify compatibility and results.
Customized Cleaning Plan
Every textile load is matched to a bespoke program that specifies: the detergents; mechanical action; temperature; solvent and/or steam use; and drying parameters necessary to preserve fabric integrity and performance.
Industrial-Grade Equipment
Our facility features large-capacity washers, commercial centrifuges, solvent recovery systems, and controlled drying tunnels designed for heavy and oversized textiles.
Quality Control
Post-cleaning inspections, performance testing—for example, filtration efficiency checks—and documentation are provided so you can be confident your newly cleaned textiles meet your specifications.
Safe Handling & Environmental Compliance
Contaminants are handled under strict protocols. Wastewater and solvent streams are treated and disposed of per environmental regulations.
Typical Applications
An industrial cleaning company like ours services a broad range of industries and textile types, including:
- Filter bags, cartridges, and media for dust-collection systems
- Conveyor belts and drive belts
- Industrial curtains, tarps, and containment liners
- Protective workwear, welding curtains, and heat-resistant fabrics
- Insulation blankets and removable thermal covers
- Textile components from HVAC and process systems
Why Industrial Cleaning Matters
Left uncleaned, industrial textiles can lose efficiency, contaminate products, increase wear, and pose safety risks. Conversely, clean textiles:
- Restore filtration efficiency for filter bags and media
- Reduce friction and slippage on conveyor belts
- Improve heat transfer and performance on insulated fabrics
- Maintain sanitary conditions in food, pharmaceutical, and other clean-processes
- Delay costly replacements and lower total lifecycle costs
Frequently Asked Questions
As an experienced industrial cleaning company, we inspect material construction, coating condition, and the type/extent of contamination. If the textile’s structural integrity or functional coatings are compromised, we’ll recommend replacement. Otherwise, we perform test-cleaning to confirm safe restoration.
Yes, with some qualifiers. We follow containment, solvent-recovery, and disposal protocols per regulatory requirements. Some hazardous contaminants may require specialized decontamination steps or disposal rather than cleaning.
For very large or fixed installations—such as oversized curtains or in-place process filters—we provide onsite services. For most items, pickup and in-facility cleaning produce better, more-controlled results.
We supply: inspection reports; before and after photos; chemical and test records; and certificates of disposal or treatment when applicable.
Why Choose ACE Environmental?
At ACE Environmental, we understand that industrial textiles—from conveyor belts and protective fabrics, to filtration media and large-process curtains—are mission-critical components of many industrial operations.
