What do you get when you put together two organizations whose goal is to promote the good of the environment? Through each organization’s efforts, environmental changes will be effected, people will be educated and more of the community will be engaged. This is exactly the goal of the partnership created between Dryeco Cleaners and Ecomb.org.

Dryeco’s Environmental Pledge

To give you an idea about what these two separate entities do, here’s a quick introduction of each.

First, Dryeco Cleaners is a Miami-based dry cleaning company founded in 2007. When you visit the website of Dryeco Cleaners, you will be able to access the Environmental Pledge that they have which just goes to show how committed they are to helping save the environment.

Dryeco Cleaners has the GreenEarth Cleaning seal, which simply means that instead of using environmentally-harsh solvents and chemicals to run their business, they use GreenEarth Cleaning products instead. Right now, Dryeco is one of the most successful and fastest-growing dry cleaning company in the Miami-Dade area.

What Ecomb.org Does for the Environment

So what about Ecomb.org which forged a partnership with Dryeco Cleaners? Basically, ECOMB is an environmental non-profit organization founded in 1994. Their goal as a non-profit organization is to promote environmental sustainability while preserving the community’s ecology at the same time. Here’s a quick look at the objectives that ECOMB has as an environmental community:

• To help reduce the amount of litter in the beaches within the Miami-Dade county.
• To improve the country’s recycling rate.
• To promote, preserve and restore coastal habitats.
• To decrease the community’s carbon footprint.

The reason why ECOMB forges a partnership with businesses like Dryeco is to work with other entities like national non-profit organizations, schools and other government agencies to conduct the eco-friendly projects that they have.

It is no wonder why ECOMB has chosen to work along with Dryeco Cleaners – because since its inception, the business has already built a name for itself by being one of the greenest – if not the greenest – dry cleaning companies in the Miami-Dade area. They even have the GreenEarth Cleaning seal to show for it.

Through the partnership that Dryeco and ECOMB has, more and more members of the Miami-Dade community will become aware of what businesses and non-profit organizations are doing to help save the environment – so that they will hopefully do their share in saving Mother Nature, too.

Back in the days, my routine consisted of waking up, travelling to the office, stopping by the dry cleaners to pick up my clothes and then driving back home. Thank goodness I had the sense to pick up a dry cleaning company which is located en route to my home, otherwise I’ll end up wasting gas and my time driving to and from the cleaners.

I live in the Miami Dade county, and thank goodness I stumbled upon a dry cleaning company called Dryeco. They’re a relatively new dry cleaning company – but I’ve been a loyal customer from day one. They offer dry cleaning and laundry services, in addition to alterations; wedding gown preservation; shoe repair; couture garment cleaning – and they can even get your rug back to its former pristine quality!

Free Pickup and Delivery in Dade and Broward from Dryeco

Another thing that I liked about the services provided by Dryeco is that they offer free delivery and pick up services within the Dade and Broward area. Whether I’m in the office or at home, the friendly associates from the company will come by and pick up the clothes that I need dry cleaned – for free! After the allotted time, they will also deliver the clothes at my home.

Even if you live in areas outside Dade and Broward, I do recommend that you shoulder the charges for delivery and pickup simply because it’s extremely convenient. More importantly, Dryeco ensures that their customers can get in touch with them through all possible mediums – be it online or over the phone.

Finally, I learned that Dryeco is certified by the Green Cleaners Council – so you can rest assured that the dry cleaning methods and solvents that they use are not harmful to the environment at all. This is another thing which attracted me to try out their dry cleaning services in the first place.

I know, I may sound like I’m touting the services of Dryeco too much – but you have to try it to believe it. So why waste gas driving to the dry cleaners to have your clothes cleaned when there’s a company like Dryeco which offers free pickup and delivery services?

You can use the time that you will save for more important things, it’ll be utterly convenient for busy women like myself, and you will also be doing your share to save Mother Nature at the same time. Really, there’s nothing much that you can ask for from a dry cleaning company, is there?

You don’t have to be a tree-hugging environmentalist to know that in your own little way, you need to take steps in order to help stop the ruin of the environment. Since the film “An Inconvenient Truth” came out a few years ago, the entire world has been abuzz about the term climate change – and there’s absolutely no reason for us to stop our Earth-saving efforts now.

Even if you’re not a staunch supporter of environmental organizations like GreenPeace, you can do your share by patronizing only companies which has 100% green operation. Fortunately, I stumbled upon a Miami-based company called Dryeco – and a truly green operation is what they promised me as a customer. And I believe them. One look at the official website of Dryeco and you will already see that they have this Environmental Pledge, which indicates that they have a PERC-free operation.

Instead of using the harsh chemicals and solvents like PERC to dry clean clothes, they actually have obtained the GreenEarth Cleaning seal.

What the GreenEarth Cleaning Seal Stands For

Dryeco is one of the few companies in the Miami-Dade area which successfully obtained the GreenEarth Cleaning stamp of approval. So what does this mean, exactly? GreenEarth Cleaning is actually the world’s largest solution provider for eco-friendly dry cleaning.

As mentioned earlier, companies like Dryeco do not use harmful chemicals like PERC anymore, so GreenEarth cleaning is the more eco-friendly alternative.  The company was founded in 1999 and since then, they have already been providing a solution for dry cleaning companies to literally clean up their act and stop using solvents and chemicals which pollute the environment.

This alternative solution comes in the form of liquid silicone, the ‘mother material’ of which is silica or sand. If you’re not already familiar with the dry cleaning process, it actually uses a liquid other than water to remove stains on garments. So when you get the services of a company like Dryeco which has the GreenEarth Cleaning seal, you can rest assured that they are only using the safe alternative to harsh PERCT – and that’s none other than liquid silicone. The good news for homeowners is that not only will you be able to do your share in helping save the environment by getting the services of a company like Dryeco. The end result is that you will also enjoy a gentler treatment on your clothes, restoring the suppleness and smoothness of the original fabric while taking care of even the most delicate fabrics at the same time.

With Dryeco’s Environmental Pledge and GreenEarth Cleaning’s seal of approval, you can send your garments to the dry cleaners with no guilt – because you know that the process that they are using is 100% safe for the environment and to you as the wearer of the clothes.

I’ve always been partial to using one of those coin-operated machines to clean my clothes, but there are just some items which I cannot bear to watch rotating in a tumble dryer in a public laundry shop. Cashmere sweaters, my down comforter and some tops made from delicate fabrics are the ones that I send to the dry cleaners.

The problem is that I am also a big fan of saving the environment, so I try to choose dry cleaning companies which have a 100% green operation. It’s a good thing that I stumbled upon Dryeco.com. They’re a dry cleaning company based in the Miami Dade County, and they have a certification from the Green Cleaners Council.

But more than that, they are slowly introducing their customers to the benefits of wetcleaning. Rather than using the environmentally-toxic PERC or Perchloroethylene for dry cleaning, they have briefly discussed how my clothes will be cleaned using the wetcleaning method. After hearing what they had to say, I immediately said yes. Wetcleaning is basically a kinder, more eco-friendly way of cleaning your clothes – without having to use the harsh chemicals typically required with dry cleaning.

How the Process of Wetcleaning Goes

Here’s how it goes. With wetcleaning, computer-controlled washing machines are used, along with eco-friendly soaps and fabric conditioners which are milder than the typical household brands. Pressing equipment which can be specialized for the type of fabric and fiber that your clothes have is also used.

The only similarity that wetcleaning has with home washing is that water is used as a solvent. Each garment will be analyzed so that the proper water temperature can be used, as well as the strength and quantity of detergent to be used. All in all, wetcleaning is all about matching the type of fabric that your clothes have with the proper chemistry of mild cleaning agents, as well as the proper washing cycle and pressing procedure.

The best thing that I loved about having my clothes wetcleaned is the fresh, clean scent that I usually do not get when they undergo the regular dry cleaning process. In addition, wetcleaning is gentler and kinder to your clothes than handwashing, the garment feels softer to the touch, it is perfect for removing stains and it is friendlier to the environment. There’s really no reason why you should say no to wetcleaning which is the new dry cleaning, is there?

No matter which industry it is that a business is in, there would always be standards that they need to stick to in order to ensure quality across the board.  Here at Dryeco.com, our goal is not just to stick to the industry standards, but even excel the expectations of our direct competitors, colleagues, suppliers and clients. This is especially true when it comes to the ways that we observe to ensure that our business has a 100% green operation.

It’s precisely the reason why Dryeco.com has become one of the very few dry cleaning companies in the Miami Dade County area which is wholly certified by the Green Cleaners Council.

A Glimpse at the Rating System Enforced by the Green Cleaners Council

First, what exactly is the Green Cleaners Council and what makes their certification so important for those who are in the dry cleaning industry? Basically, they are an organization whose mission is to provide consumers with a way to measure just how green their dry cleaning company is. In addition they also provide professional cleaners a way to tell their own clients about just how eco-friendly they are through the help of the Green Cleaners Council seal – something that you can see in our Dryeco.com website.

Next, here are some of the factors that the Green Cleaners Council consider when providing certification to a dry cleaning company like Dryeco.com:

• What are your wetcleaning capabilities?
• How do you recycle hangers, plastic, water, etc.?
• What type of technology do you invest in which exceeds the existing government environmental regulations?
• How about water and energy conservation, or the use of an alternative energy program?
• Does your company provide education and training in environmental regulations, as well as wetcleaning technical training to employees?

Dryeco.com wouldn’t have obtained the nod of the Green Cleaners Council if we weren’t able to meet the standards that they have, based from our answers to the sample questionnaire.

What’s good about the standards that the Green Cleaners Council is enforcing is that because more and more dry cleaning companies would like to earn their certification – business owners are actually investing in equipment and training to have a more eco-friendly operation! This will benefit the dry cleaning industry as a whole.

More importantly, if all dry cleaning companies would have the Green Cleaners Council certification that Dryeco.com has – the industry would lose its reputation as being harmful to the environment, which would benefit clients and business owners, as well as Mother Nature.

Unless you want to ruin a perfectly good, expensive suit which was stained by the cologne that your aunt or grandma wore during the holidays when you got a hug from her – it’s a good guess that you would occasionally require the services of a dry cleaning company. It’s the next best thing to keeping the pristine condition of the designer dress or Italian coat that you have.

However, the dry cleaning industry’s reputation was seemingly smeared with the existence of PERC or Perchloroethylene. It’s a solvent used by almost 90% of the dry cleaning companies from around the world. Based from the data gathered by Greenpeace, a worldwide environmental organization, thousands of tons of solvent are used on an annual basis by the dry cleaning companies all across the US and Canada.

So how did this seemingly typical dry cleaning chemical become a cause of alarm for environmentalists? The reasons are actually numerous. Aside from causing harm to Mother Nature, PERC is also a chemical which can put your health in undue risks. To give you an idea about why this dry cleaning solvent is a no-no, take a look at its possible effects to both the environment and humans who are wearing dry-cleaned clothes treated with PERC:

• The chemical contaminates one-fourth of the US drinking water supply, based from a study conducted by government agencies.
• PERC has by-products including hazardous gases which are dangerous in enclosed spaces; carcinogens; liver toxins; and other harmful chemicals used as herbicides.
• Dry cleaning workers who are constantly exposed to the chemical PERC may develop serious health problems over time as a result of exposure to the solvent.

Dryeco Cleaners Offer PERC-Free Dry Cleaning Services

Based from the aforementioned list, it is easy to see why the dominant use of PERC in the dry cleaning industry has been a cause of alarm to most environmentalists. If you want to do your share in saving Mother Nature, then you need to make sure that the dry cleaning company who you will hire to clean your clothes for you does not use this harmful chemical at all.

That is exactly the edge that we have here at Dryeco Dry Cleaning Services. We are among the very few dry cleaning company in this part of the country wholly certified by the GreenCleanersCouncil.com. The GreenEarth and Wet Cleaning methods that we use to clean our customers’ garments are 100% PERC-free, making us one of the most eco-friendly dry cleaners in South Florida.

At the end of the day, doing your share to stop the ruination of the environment is all a matter of learning how to choose your service providers carefully. When it comes to the dry cleaning services that you require, it does pay to go for a company which has already eliminated the use of the harmful chemical PERC – and that’s exactly what Dryeco Cleaners can offer you.

Free pickup, “Kinder to your clothes”, “Service with a smile” – these are the things about their service that local dry cleaning companies offer to their customers. Another item to add to the list is their being environmentally conscious. But what does being an eco-friendly dry cleaning company really mean?

As the name implies, eco-friendly dry cleaning is all about performing your duties to clean clothes using the dry cleaning method – without putting the environment in any undue risks. Back in the days when dry cleaning companies first became popular, the only way that you can get your clothes spick-and-span is after they have gone through several harsh chemical treatments to remove stains and disinfect the fabric. There would even be times when the material will shrink because of the solvents used to clean the garment.

Fortunately, the dry cleaning method used today is much kinder to your clothes – and is really eco-friendly. This is especially true with the dry cleaning services offered by Dryeco.com. When you visit our website, you can check out the “Environmental Pledge” that we have. As a Florida-based dry cleaning company, Dryeco Green Cleaners is aware that our direct competitors – almost 95% of them – use toxic products to clean your clothes.

Naturally, we cannot stick to our Environmental Pledge if we also make use of harsh chemicals and solvents to dry clean your clothes – so it’s something that we tried to do away with. Instead of using toxic chemicals which also double up as possible carcinogens, Dryeco make use of the GreenEarth dry cleaning process. The process eliminates the need for petroleum or any kind of toxic chemical to treat your clothes with – so there’s absolutely no harm to the environment.

Another factor that you need to consider when choosing which dry cleaning company to go with is the safety of the chemicals that they are using to the wearer of the garment. As mentioned earlier, there are certain toxic chemicals which can become carcinogens when it comes in contact with your skin – and that is not a risk that you need to put yourself under when you have your clothes dry cleaned by Dryeco Dry Cleaners.

Aside from using environment-friendly solvents and human-friendly detergents, Dryeco Dry Cleaners also offers two free laundry bags to customers, biodegradable or post-consumer packaging, and we even reuse hangers! These and more are the self-implemented environmental policies that we stick to here at Dryeco Dry Cleaners to ensure that our operations are 100% safe for Mother Nature.
