We know how important hygiene is when renting clothing, and it's completely understandable to want reassurance about how garments are cared for between customers.
That's why every item in the Oxfam rental collection goes through a professional cleaning and sanitisation process carried out by our expert partners at ACS, helping ensure it's fresh, hygienic and ready for its next wearer.
Every rental item is thoroughly inspected and professionally cleaned after each hire, helping to ensure it returns to excellent condition ready to be worn again.
Once inspected, each garment is sanitised in ACS's large-scale ozone sanitation chamber.
This is an advanced process that is designed to help eradicate:
Odours | Bacteria | Germs | Viruses
At full capacity, the chamber can process up to 30,000 garments per day, ensuring every item receives the same consistent level of care and sanitisation.
Ozone technology is widely used because it can sanitise effectively without the use of harsh chemicals while remaining gentle on clothing. The process helps refresh clothing and remove unwanted odours, giving every item a clean, ready-to-wear finish.
Whether you're renting for a special occasion or simply experimenting with a more sustainable way to refresh your wardrobe, you can feel confident that every item has been professionally cleaned, sanitised and prepared to be worn and loved again.
