Rite Way Cleaning is a Maine based company founded in 1967. In 2008, Rite Way Cleaning expanded company operations to classing and washing natural fibers, using environmentally friendly detergents. As the owners of Rite-Way Scouring my wife Tina and I with the help of my sister Betsy started from the beginning learning how to inventory raw fiber, sort for washing and wash. Alpaca was our first experience and now we have expanded into sheep’s wool. We look forward to adding other exotic fibers to this list.As part of our initial training, during the month of June, we worked with Ruth Elvestad on grading/classing of Alpaca Fiber.

We very much look forward to serving the fiber producers of New England and beyond.   We are conveniently located in Waldoboro, Maine offering commercial scouring services for all natural fibers. Operating a 4 bowl scouring system, Rite-Way currently has the capacity to wash 200 to 300lbs. of raw fiber a day. The drying process is usually completed in 24 hours, after this we can bale your fiber and arrange for shipping to your mill of choice.

Rite Way Scouring has also teamed up with Royal River Alpaca Company for consulting and coordinating the fiber collection and scouring services. We can support the production of both small and medium sized fiber farms along with commercial production.

If you have any questions about the wash process, please contact Mike Fairfield at info@ritewayscouring.com or call 207-542-4231.
