We are acutely aware of the environmental repercussions of modern living, and the concerns this raises about the future of our planet. At Cabbage White, we have made a steadfast commitment to embracing “green” and environmentally friendly practices. We devoted significant time and consideration to the selection of cleaning solvents for our dry cleaning process, recognizing the importance of this decision.
In our deliberations, we examined two primary cleaning solvents: perchloroethylene solvent, commonly referred to as ‘perc,’ and the newer siloxane-based solvent. While siloxane is generally perceived as a more environmentally friendly option, it comes with certain trade-offs. The extended machine cycle required for siloxane consumes more gas and electricity, and, in our experience, it may not be as dependable in effectively removing stains from garments, often necessitating an additional cycle to achieve the desired results and, subsequently, increasing the consumption of utilities. We prioritize the balance between environmental concerns and ensuring the high-quality care of your garments.
We take pride in the presentation of your garments, ensuring that they are displayed on elegant wooden hangers that not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also reflect our commitment to eco-friendliness. As a responsible and environmentally conscious business, we actively encourage our valued customers to participate in our sustainability initiative. One of the key aspects of this initiative involves the return of these wooden hangers each time you visit one of our stores.
These elegant wooden hangers, sourced from sustainable forest locations, embody our dedication to preserving the environment, and your participation in this eco-friendly endeavor is greatly appreciated. Together, we can make a positive difference for our planet, one hanger at a time. Thank you for being a part of our commitment to a greener and more sustainable future.
