New Demands for Drive-Thru Dry Cleaning

6 comments

FOR THE THIRD TIME IN 25 MONTHS, a Phoenix, Arizona, dry cleaning business has been penetrated by a pedal-challenged driver who stomped on the big one instead of the small one and propelled their autos through the front window of the shop, coming to rest just inches away from the owner who was sitting at his desk.

Not again !

The owner of Regal Cleaners, David Reddish says that he’s going to put some concrete bollards in front of the store now.  This latest sudden-acceleration did $10,000 in damage to the plant.

KSAZ-TV has the surveillance videos from all three visitations:

Firegeezer suggests that he also consider relocating his desk.

    Hello I’m the owner of OrganiCare Fine GarmentCare Centers located in Phoenix, AZ. I agree with not using perc. and looking for a cleaners that uses alternatives to perc. Wet Cleaning is offered at both of my plants, we can clean any type of fabric in water! We will be changing out our DF 2000 or hydrocarbon dry cleaning machines for CO2 next summer. Co2 and Wet Cleaning are the only real organic green technologies of cleaning garments don’t be fooled by your neighborhood cleaners saying that their Organic. I have had an alternative to Perc. called df2000 or hydrocarbon for years before co2 and wet cleaning were real options for garment care. My thoughts are to always stay on top of new technologies in the market place to be as green as possible. That’s why we are implementing co2 and we have already implemented wet cleaning. Of course we are carbon neutral as well as our vans and we offer bio degradable poly bags, re useable garment bags, promote clients to recycle their hangers, use natural gas boilers, and all the other greener options that we can. That should be standard in your cleaners. Complementary delivery and pick-up of your garments from your home or office should be standard as well at your local cleaners. This lessens the amount of emissions of 100′s of clients coming to your cleaners every week. Feel free to call or email for any questions that you might have. 480-585-3936 or brad@organicdrycleaners.com. P.S. please don’t be really fooled by any cleaners that say they use Green Earth solvent, this solvent number one doesn’t clean anything on its best day and is made out of silicone. Canada is looking towards banning this solvent. It sounds really good but it doesn’t work and is not a green alternative at all.
