Press Pads for Dry Cleaning & Laundry Machines

At Lab Test Products, we manufacture press pads for every major dry cleaning and laundry pressing machine — including Ajax, Forenta, Hoffman, Itsumi, Sankosha, Unipress, and more. Whether you run a dry cleaner, laundry, alteration room, or tailor shop, our press pads are custom-made in New Jersey to maximize efficiency, extend pad life, and deliver a superior finish on every garment.

Unlike competitors who offer a single layer of rubber, every Lab Test press pad features multi-layer construction for better steam passage, improved vacuum flow, and longer-lasting performance.

Dry Cleaning Machines

Slick Pad (3-Layer Construction)

The workhorse of the dry cleaning industry. Features a Blue Slick Polyester surface for easy garment movement during pressing, with double-layer rubber and skirted construction for superior steam and vacuum passage. A reliable, high-performance choice for everyday dry cleaning and garment care.

Clean Pad (3-Layer Construction)

Designed for problem fabrics and precision pressing. The Clean Pad features a PTFE-Nomex surface that prevents moiré and texture marks on silks, rayons, and other delicate garments — and is the preferred pad for pressing military uniforms. The double-layer rubber construction delivers excellent longevity and consistent results across all dry cleaning applications.

Excel Pad (4-Layer Construction)

Our premium pad. The Excel Pad adds a layer of black foam to our proven 3-layer construction, delivering superior cushion and improved steam flow for a noticeably better press. Available with either a Slick or Clean cover to match your garment care needs. Ideal for dry cleaners, tailor shops, and alteration rooms that demand the highest quality finish.
