A little-known dry cleaning fact about Wichita

Tuesday, May 8, 2012 - 17:00

Even in high school, I can remember thinking about the effect on the atmosphere filling up my gas tank was having. Back then, “green” was just a color! These days, everyone’s talking about the environment. From drilling to diapers, it seems we have a chance to help save Mother Nature at just about every step. So before we opened Martinizing, we looked at all the dry cleaners in Wichita, and we noticed something: every single company was using the same, smelly process of petrochemicals, or “percs.” (A brief pause here - to hold your nose!)

Well, we could go on and on about percs, but just know this: the EPA classifies perc as a Toxic Air Contaminant. That’s good enough for us to know we don’t want it in our shirts, pants and comforters! So we decided right there and then that, if were going to open a dry cleaning business, we were certainly not going to do anything to harm the earth. That’s why we clean with GreenEarth. Click here and get the scoop. Oh, and that little-known fact: Martinizing Dry Cleaning is the only Wichita-area dry cleaner with GreenEarth. After all, it’s the only earth we’ve got, so we’d like to help out, one shirt at a time!
