BÜFA Dry Cleaning Chemicals
BÜFA’s dry cleaning chemical range covers every step of the professional dry cleaning process — from pre-spotting stubborn stains through to deodorizing, boosting cleaning performance, protecting fabrics, and regreasing leather goods. Each product is engineered for consistent, reliable results in commercial dry cleaning operations.
Benzafix A-B-C Set
Type: Pre-Spotting Agents
Application: Targeted stain removal before dry cleaning
Key Features: A set of three specialised spotting agents, each formulated for different stain types — protein-based, tannin-based, and oil/grease-based stains. Apply directly to spots before the cleaning cycle for effective removal without damaging fabric colour or texture. Essential for professional pre-treatment workflows.
Hypur Special
Type: Odour Absorber / Deodorizer
Application: Eliminating persistent odours from garments
Key Features: A powerful deodorizing additive with a strong odour-absorbing effect. Neutralises smoke, perspiration, food, and other embedded smells that standard cleaning may not fully remove. Added to the cleaning cycle to deliver fresh, odour-free results on even heavily soiled garments.
Benzapon Sanofresh
Type: Cleaning Booster
Application: Enhancing cleaning performance in dry cleaning cycles
Key Features: A cleaning booster that intensifies the washing action of the solvent, improving soil and stain removal across all fabric types. Particularly effective on heavily soiled workwear and garments with ground-in dirt. Leaves fabrics clean, bright, and fresh with improved hygiene.
Secasit Lotus
Type: Fabric Protection / Impregnation
Application: Water and stain repellent finishing for garments
Key Features: A fabric protection finish that impregnates textiles with a water- and soil-repellent coating. Applied after cleaning to extend the time between washes and keep garments looking fresh longer. Ideal for outerwear, suits, uniforms, and any garments exposed to weather or frequent soiling.
Lival Licker Conc
Type: Leather Regreasing Agent
Application: Restoring suppleness and condition to leather garments
Key Features: A concentrated regreasing agent specifically formulated for leather and suede care in dry cleaning. Replenishes the natural oils stripped during the cleaning process, restoring softness, flexibility, and a natural feel. Prevents cracking, stiffening, and discolouration of leather goods after solvent cleaning.
BÜFA Wet Cleaning Chemicals
BÜFA’s wet-cleaning product line is designed for professional aqueous cleaning of delicate textiles that traditionally required dry cleaning. These detergents and conditioners work together to clean effectively while protecting fabric structure, colour, and hand-feel.
BÜFA Wet-Cleaning Detergents & Conditioners
Type: Professional Wet-Cleaning Product Range
Application: Water-based cleaning of wool, silk, cashmere, and other delicate fabrics
Key Features: BÜFA’s wet-cleaning range includes specialised detergents formulated for gentle yet thorough aqueous cleaning, along with conditioning agents that prevent shrinkage, felting, and colour loss. The products are designed for use with professional wet-cleaning machines and deliver results comparable to dry cleaning — with the environmental benefit of eliminating solvent use. Ideal for operations transitioning to greener cleaning methods.
