Green Cleaning

Laura Dizon • July 24, 2013

By now you have probably heard that Pilgrim is a green cleaner, but you may wonder what that means. Pilgrim has always been committed to the community, and the environment is something that we all share. That is why we have made serious efforts to reduce our carbon footprint and have transitioned into one of the most eco-friendly cleaners in the country. We started by replacing all of our dry cleaning machines with state of the art “green cleaning machines” that use hydrocarbon as an alternative dry cleaning solvent. This is much better for the environment than the harmful chemicals used by most dry cleaners. This new technology also has the added benefit of being gentler on your clothes, making them last longer and look newer

Pilgrim has also committed to recycling many of our materials, including hangers and poly bags, to reduce the waste that we create, and operate more efficiently. Pilgrim Cleaners is committed to providing customers with the highest quality cleaning. Green cleaning is just one of many reasons Pilgrim Cleaners is the Twin Cities’ Favorite Dry Cleaner.
