Starching: perfect hold and invisible protection

Are you looking for a textile starching treatment for your shirts and household linens? Starching is nothing new: it has been used for nearly 200 years. Back then, shirt collars were detached to be washed separately.

The technique has evolved, but the principle remains the same. Textile starching treatment gives your fabrics structure, cleanliness, and elegance.

At 5àsec, we have mastered this expertise over many years. We apply it to your shirts, collars, and cuffs, as well as your household linens. Tablecloths, curtains, towels, and table runners also benefit from this professional care.
