Environmental
responsibility has long been a top priority at our company. During the past
three decades, we have been recognized by government agencies (US EPA, Massachusetts
DEP, Massachusetts Toxic Use Reduction Institute), the drycleaning industry
(Drycleaning Laundry Institute, North East Fabricare Institute) and
by outside groups (University Leaders for a Sustainable Future, Massachusetts
Business Environmental Network) as a leader in drycleaning industry environmental
issues.
EcoClean Clothing Care™ continues our total commitment by providing a
safe environment for our customers, employees and the community.
CLEANING PROCESS
Our equipment replacement plan is based on an ongoing process of analyzing and
researching environmentally friendly alternative drycleaning fluids. This continuing
program has included the installation of multiple Green Earth™ and/or
Exxon DF 2000™ Fluid drycleaning machines.
At Anton’s, we follow clothing manufacturer recommendations in selecting
the best cleaning process. We wetclean more than 50% of all garments.
Our drycleaning and wetcleaning equipment is computer controlled for maximum
efficiency and has helped reduce drycleaning fluid consumption by 90% over the
last 20 years, as well as water consumption by 50%.
Our drycleaning equipment uses a sophisticated distillation process that recycles
drycleaning fluid to provide totally clean drycleaning fluid for each load.
Our people receive continuous training to meet the company’s rigorous
cleaning performance standards.
