5 Eco-Friendly Facts About Pilgrim Cleaners:

1) Pilgrim Cleaners Uses The Safest Cleaning Methods Available For You & Your Clothes: Pilgrim Cleaners offers hydro carbon solvent dry cleaning, as well as Wet Cleaning methods; which are the safest methods available in the industry! Wet Cleaning is NOT the same as doing your own laundry at home. The process is gentler than hand washing and is safe for fabrics such as: silk, cashmere, woolens, & fine delicate’s. Wet cleaning is a water-based, non-toxic, & energy-efficient! It is an environmentally friendly dry cleaning alternative that produces brighter whites and more vibrant colors without fading. This cleaning method is also more effective at removing water-based stains. Best of all, your skin is not coming in contact with any harsh chemicals and there is no chemical odor left on your clothes.
2) The Cleaning Solvents That We Use Are Safe For The Environment: In wet cleaning, there are no chemicals used which avoids: air pollution, water pollution, & soil contamination. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), “wet cleaning is the most environmentally sensitive professional method of garment cleaning. It does not use hazardous chemicals, it does not generate hazardous waste, nor does the process create air pollution and it reduces the potential for water and soil contamination. The specialized detergents and conditioner used in the wet clean process are milder than home laundry products. All of the products are disposed of down the drain and easily handled by the local waste water treatment facility.”
3) Our Cleaning Methods Are Safer For Our Employees: The cleaning wet methods that we use satisfy all legal, environmental & work place regulations. We are not putting our employees at risk by being exposed to harsh chemicals.
4) The Machines We Use Are Energy Efficient: The machines that we use in our cleaning process have a lower energy expenditure, which conserves precious energy resources for our environment.
5) Our Cleaning Methods Are Sustainable For The Environment: All of the cleaning solvents used by Pilgrim Cleaners are biodegradable, which is eco-friendly and sustainable for the environment.
