Outstanding Laundry Technologies: Lagoon Advanced Care Systems

Friday, November 24, 2017



Fast, easy and green... that's the vision. With the release of the Electrolux line 5000, Electrolux Professional is pushing for technologies for equipment that is delicate on fabrics, gentle on the environment and something that would change the business. This Lagoon Adavnced Care is ergonomic, sustainable and that treats clothes well. This is a wet solution, but doesn't use harsh chemicals so even if you use less water, you don't compromise the efficiency and quality of cleaning clothes. This is an alternative to dry cleaning.


Dave Arboleda says "We are a stones throw away from Araneta Coliseum, you see how they use gowns and suits so you know how hard it is to take care for them. We usually have them dry cleaned right? But that is a little dangerous because of the solvents that are used, so we have developed a wet cleaning system that has been approved by Woolmark, a standard recognized worldwide.  Perchloroethylene is not good for the environment and is toxic, the substance also needs proper disposal as it is hazardous. It also causes cancer, can make white fabrics gray which isn't a lovely picture to paint. Perc is now restricted abroad and will be banned in the next few years. Solven based washing is not a good thing if you use these chemicals, it's not as fresh, not as clean, not eco friendly and not healthy (harmful to operator and owner of the clothes). Hotels and Laundry shops have these dry cleaning machines and some even have used wash basins at times without knowing the dangers of it. The best alternative? Here's the Lagoon Advanced Care systems."

Lagoon Advanced Care systems are not complicated, it's fast, effective and can be done in one hour. Customers now come back for it because it's a game changer. 




Ko Jon Hok explains "This is a water based solution, I'm wearing a suit right now and it's common in so many countries. Jackets have different types of fabric just like your local barong. From receiving the garment, to spotting, washing, drying and pressing, it takes about an hour to finish everything.

The Lagoon advanced care machines have different capacities. Woolmark developed this system with us and got us certified also with other fabrics. The system has efficient dosing which means it adjusts the amount of solvents/detergent depending on the load. It's very easy to mount, (he then puts his wool and polyester in the machine) it uses the existing water in the drum and it uses very small amount. The foam cleans it all and cushions the garment. In a way it mimics hand washing, but this is consistent and very gentle. The dryer on the other hand detects the moisture of the clothes (through a sensor, he showed us using a hand and it detected that her hand had 8% moisture) so you efficiently use energy or heat on the garment. If you see the before and after photos, it has some wrinkled after washing, but after drying it gets straightened out and almost needs no ironing (because of the conditioner they use). From coats, to dresses, to wedding gowns, now you can do it in a machine instead of just hand washing these expensive gowns. Even with beads, embroidery, stones, mixed clothes, fleece, velvet, silk and a whole lot more, it would look almost new after going through the Lagoon Advanced Care system. The Electrolux machines with the custom programs, the detergents and conditioner (so it's easier to iron and protects it with coating) pumps, and will only work with the detergent and conditioner that is tested eith it and can be installed fast. Hotels have used it already, we have pioneers who have used this system and it is available all over the world.




For those who want to know more about the system, you may contact ELS Philippines Inc. who is the laundry solution provider and distributor in the Philippines. They are located at M5 Goldland Tower at 10 Eisenhower Street Greenhills San Juan City. You can also visit their website at https://elsphilippines.com/

The Need to Rest

Monday, July 20, 2009


I'm so tired after that trip to Laguna and it was also really hard to get a decent shower at this time in the office. The shower room is also cramped with stuff from other employees and the lockers we have were not sufficient to hold all our belongings. I still got that handy towel wrap so I do not get the floors and corridors wet. I run from here to there but it was good I did not have to suffer like the rest of them; as I came well prepared.

I stuffed my filthy clothes in the laundry bag and I will get them to the washers early tomorrow morning. It is just so convenient to have one! I want to be organized too so this bag is really helping me a lot. Maybe after this, I would need to go home early because I need some sleep. I have been awake for about 29 hours when it strikes 6:00 AM. I just hope this would not affect my health. I never got sick for almost a year I guess and I would not want to start now. I do not have my own nap mat in the office because it would be troublesome for me to go from here to the other building where our sleeping lounge is. But I really need to get some sleep and get some rest after that exhausting photo shoot this morning. I better get some on line stuff so I would be better tomorrow. I have not incurred an absence in 5 years from the office and it would not be so nice to break that just because I am sleep deprived. My body can only do so much; I hope it would not be calling in sick tomorrow. I would be really disappointed if that happens so wish me great health and good luck!

First Day Funk!

Tuesday, June 02, 2009


It's June once again and everybody in this side of the world is preparing for their first day of school year 2009 - 2010. In anticipation of the huge traffic and markets picking up this season, I travel a lot earlier now so I would not be late for work. I am also trying to find the perfect bag for my NIKON D60 which I bought for my self this month. It may be expensive but that ended my frustrations in photography so it is well worth it.

Aside from that, I was sponsoring a child in a local charity. I did that so there would be something good to do this year. Good thing I have friends who share the same passion that I do so it was not that hard. We bought some school supplies, personalized kids backpacks and a couple of toys to go with it. At least they will have a better time studying while playing on the side right?! I wonder why I never get to do that when I was a kid... ha-ha!

At home, we are going to have a hard time this week because the person who we pay for weekly to wash clothes is out of town. She is not going back until next week, so I'm sure our laundry bag is going to be filled. I have been looking for alternatives but you know how expensive laundry services are in Manila. If you do not do it by bulk it would even be more expensive.

I've got a friend who also gave birth to a bouncing baby boy this evening. I'm so glad I get to be part of the whole process, not the making the baby part obviously but more on taking care of the Mom. You see, she's not that safe in doing these pregnancies and this one in particular is included. I hope she does not read this entry because she will know about the baby memory book I got her this time. The kid is so cute; no picture is going to be wasted!

I have so many plans in so little time; I hope everything turns our right. Let's do the first day funk!
