Dry cleaning is a service that’s been around in some capacity for thousands of year

s. Original dry-cleaning methods came to us by way of the Romans. They used lye, ammonia, and fuller’s earth clay to clean clothes, but as fashion progressed, so did the need for more complex cleaning methods and eco-friendly dry-cleaning services.

Today, the most common chemical in dry cleaning is one that
was popularized somewhere around the 1930s: perchloroethylene or perc. Although
its ability to thoroughly clean all fabrics makes it the perfect cleaning
solution to some, perc isn’t eco-friendly. Now, greener dry-cleaning options
exist, some of which we employ at our award-winning dry cleaners in Minneapolis
and San Francisco.

For Earth Day, we at Mulberrys Garment Care thought it would
be fun to showcase how we keep it green.

 

Toxic-Free Dry-Cleaning

You may not know it, but being an eco-friendly dry-cleaning service has been a priority to Mulberrys since our founding. In fact, we’re pioneers in green cleaning. We offer what many other cleaners only claim to, a commitment to carrying out green dry-cleaning practices.

According to the Occidental College Pollution Prevention Education and Research Center, 85 percent of America’s 35,000 dry cleaners use perc. It is classified as a volatile organic compound (VOCs) and can have harmful effects on humans, homes, water sources, and the overall environment. This fact drives our commitment to provide our customers with sustainable, eco-friendly dry-cleaning and wet cleaning services.

 

Environmentally Friendly Detergents

Dry cleaners have a history of using harsh chemicals like
perc and siloxane (a pseudo green clean chemical) and coupling them with high
amounts of heat to dry clean your clothes. This is not only bad for your health
and the longevity of your garments, but it is also harmful to the environment.

With our wet and dry-cleaning services, your clothes return
smelling fresh and chemical-free. Plus, you can breathe easy knowing that you
aren’t contributing to the worsening environmental crisis. Here are a few
benefits to our 100 toxic free services:

Biodegradable and Recycled Packaging

When going green with your business, don’t just stop at the
products you use; look for other small ways you can contribute to the
preservation of our environment. One such way we contribute further is with our
packaging.

We use recycled wood hangers to store and keep your clothes
looking as pristine as the day you purchased them. Our garment bags, too, are
made from recycled plastics. Both details may seem small, but they reduce the
number of natural resources used and the carbon emissions used to produce them.


 

We’re a Carbon-Neutral Business

Speaking of carbon emissions, did you know Mulberrys Garment
Care is a carbon-neutral business? A way that we keep our facilities green is
by offering pick-up and delivery services. This approach enables our customers
to stay home, save on gas, and live a little more greenly. Instead, our trucks
come to them, reducing the number of cars on the road, and as a result, conserving
emissions.
