How Do You Make A Drycleaner Business More Eco Friendly?
Everyday business can do harm to our environment, so taking small steps each day can help us save our planet. Dry cleaners can be big energy spenders with their daily activities. With just a few small steps, your dry cleaning business can save energy and money. Encourage your customers to recycle their hangers by giving them a discount on the hangers they bring back. You can give them a quarter off each item cleaned if they bring back their metal hangers. Replace your light bulbs with CFC eco-friendly light bulbs. They are more expensive, but you can recoup the cost of these light bulbs within a couple years of usage. Do not buy the hangers with the paper sleeves inserted on the top of the hanger. They usually say “We Love Our Customers” but do little to promote your business. Save the paper and waste and order paper-free hangers. Turn off all machinery and lights when your business is closed. Unplugging machinery will also save energy. Equipment uses energy even when it is turned off
