Introduction

 

The purpose of this website is to provide easily accessible information on the chemicals used for laundering by E.T.S.A. members.

It is meant as a reference for both textile service customers and for the staff of members and other relevant stakeholders such as authorities etc.

It is also a tool to support ‘The E.T.S.A. Environmental Principles’, which state:

‘Only detergents which have a minimum impact on the environment should be used’

We will appreciate any suggestions for improvements and relevant corrections.
