April 2021

After months of working remotely, we have finally reached the point where employers are preparing to bring their people back to the office. Thanks to vaccines, businesses are reopening their doors and welcoming back their staff and customers alike. The long-awaited reuniting of communities across the country is comforting for us all, as our sense of normalcy was abandoned a year ago due to a national pandemic. With this news comes a mix of emotions for employees everywhere; excitement, fear, eagerness, anxiety. This could very well be a major change to your daily routine. The best way to tackle any doubts that you might have is to prepare a “back to the office checklist.” If you are feeling anxious about the prospect of returning to the office, a few things you may include in your checklist are; daycare, animal care, transportation, and meals. All of those things we have taken for granted over the past fourteen months. While compiling your list, don’t forget to include the most important consideration…” what are you going to wear?” That’s right, it’s time to check the closet for something other than pajamas and sweatpants. Pull out your button-downs, your khakis, and yes, even those stylish suits. This is your chance to dress to impress. Be sure to plan ahead and expect there to be some dust on those clothes you haven’t worn in months—they need to be freshened up. Don’t add to your anxiety by trying to care for them yourself. Brush them off and have them cleaned by the best! Trust the professionals with your favorite work outfits. Find your local Greenearth dry cleaner to give them the look and feel of a new wardrobe.

They’ll have you headed back to the office looking and feeling your best!

“The Earth is what we all have in common.” In a year when our differences have certainly been on full display and we often need to be reminded we have more in common than what divides us, the quote from American author and poet, Berry Wendell feels even more impactful on this trip around the sun.  It’s why, since the beginning, our mission statement has been doing business without doing harm. It’s our goal to provide the best possible fabric care with the lowest overall environmental impact. It’s also why the month of April continues to be a landmark month for us. While our Network of over 2,000 dry cleaners worldwide spends 365 days out of the year working to minimize our carbon footprint, Earth Month brings us the opportunity to celebrate those accomplishments and lay out goals to improve upon them for the year to come.  Simply by choosing your local GreenEarth dry cleaner, you too are having a positive impact on our planet. Not only will your clothes and household items be cleaned in the most sustainable way possible by the industry’s leading best-in-class professionals, but you’re also extending the life cycle of those garments and reducing the amount of textile waste making its way to landfills. Because GreenEarth isn’t just good for the environment, it’s gentle on garments too, allowing them to look newer longer.  Start to finish, the GreenEarth Cleaning system marks off all of the boxes for sustainability and that is by no accident. From the environmentally non-toxic solvent at the core of the system, to working to reduce utility usage, to coordinating national clothes drives preventing landfill waste, our team will continue to improve our sustainability initiatives and leave a better planet for generations to follow.  So here we are, calling on you to join us in celebrating Earth Month by making a commitment to put an end to fast fashion and join the sustainable fashion movement. It can all start by making the decision to care for your textiles sustainably, using your local GreenEarth cleaner.
