EcoClean Clothing Care™

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.

RECYCLING

• 100% recycling of drycleaning fluid waste. In 1982 Anton’s was the first cleaner in the United States to institute this practice. Anton’s objective is to minimize waste and then recycle it, not just dispose of it.
• Wire hangers Anton’s Cleaners both reuses and recycles the hangers.
• Plastic Anton’s recycles plastic used in covering clothes.
