The Laundry StorkSM cares deeply about the environment. Don't get fooled by other companies that claim to be eco-friendly or 'organic' -- the laundromats are likely using conventional toxic detergents and the dry cleaners are probably cleaning with either Perchloroethylene or Hydrocarbons like DF-2000 or EcoSolv, both of which are harmful to you, your babies and our environment1.
We try to conduct our daily business in an eco-friendly and socially responsible manner. That’s why we are committed to improving our surroundings -- not just of our environment, but also of our community. Here are some of the things we are doing:
Dry Cleaning: We use GreenEarth dry cleaning, the leading alternative among environmentally-friendly, chemical-free dry cleaning methods.
Laundry Detergents: We offer multiple detergent choices, including non-toxic, biodegradable and fragrance-free (hypoallergenic) which make them very baby-friendly.
Laundry Equipment: Our high efficiency washer / extractor machines are designed to minimize water usage while our oversized dryers maximize energy efficiency.
Hangers: We encourage you to include your hangers with your bag so we can re-use them, thereby reducing the 3.5 billion hangers thrown away every year.
Packaging: We use a dual-use bag, which serves as your dry cleaning bag and garment sleeve, drastically decreasing the 300 million pounds of single-use plastic bags from dry cleaners wasted every year.
Donation: We donate at least 1% of our sales to "1% for the Planet" -- a network of over 2,000 environmental organizations worldwide.
