GreenEarth Cleaning – Your clothes deserve the Best!
Over 10 years ago Best Cleaners decided to make a change for the better – a better for you, your clothes and the environment. After carefully researching various dry cleaning methods, we partnered with GreenEarth Cleaning and the rest is history. Here is a detailed explanation of what GreenEarth Cleaning is and how it works, so you can see why this is the “Best” way to dry clean your clothes.
What is GreenEarth? The GreenEarth Cleaning process uses liquid silicone in place of petrochemicals. Essentially liquified sand, silicone is non-hazardous and non-toxic to the environment. When released to the environment, it safely breaks down into the three natural elements it is made from: sand (SiO2) and trace amounts of water and carbon dioxide, which means it is safe for the air, water and soil. GreenEarth is safe for people too. You can safely rub it on your skin if you want to. In fact, you probably already do. Liquid silicone is the base ingredient in many everyday shampoos, conditioners and lotions.
How does GreenEarth work? Because clothes cleaned the GreenEarth way are not bathed in Perchloroethylene (PERC) or other petrochemical solvents commonly used in dry cleaning, they come back fresh and clean without unpleasant “dry cleaning” odor. GreenEarth is also very gentle on clothes. You can actually see and feel the difference it makes. Colors don’t fade and whites don’t gray or yellow the way they do in traditional dry cleaning, even after repeated cleaning. Everything feels better too. Fabrics are smooth and silky, and sweaters feel soft and supple again. GreenEarth is made from liquid silicone which is chemically inert, meaning it doesn’t chemically react with fabric fibers. It just carries the detergent to your clothes and gently carries away the dirt and oil. It also is very light in weight and has a very low surface tension, allowing it to gently penetrate fabric fibers and rinse away dirt in a way that water or PERC cannot. That means it cleans without being abrasive or aggressive, without leaching dyes or damaging trims. That’s why it is such a safe and effective green cleaner for even the most delicate garments–beads, delicate lace, silk, cashmere, you name it–with GreenEarth, there’s nothing to worry about. And, unlike many other cleaning methods, it won’t cause shrinkage.
