Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, India

Leading Conference on Textile Hygiene, Care and Maintenance

As the apparel industry intensifies its focus on sustainability, hygiene, and circularity, one critical phase is often overlooked — post-production garment treatment. Washing, finishing, stain removal, and sanitisation are no longer just operational steps. They’re strategic levers for environmental performance, product longevity, and consumer trust.

To spotlight this essential function, Gartex Texprocess India, Delhi 2025 presents the Textile Care Forum in collaboration with Dry Cleaners & Laundry Association of India (DLAI), the country’s foremost body representing the professional garment cleaning industry.

This benchmark conference will bring together voices from across the garment, laundry, wet-cleaning, dry-cleaning, and textile hygiene sectors — with knowledge-rich sessions and business applicability.
