Our Cleaning Process
With over 10 years of dry cleaning experience, Greentree Cleaners knows how to take the time and extra care needed to assure that you receive the best quality in dry cleaning. Any garments under your Dry Cleaning order with us go through various stages in cleaning systems. Please visit our dry clean plant for the facility tour.
2 Log Customer Order
We enter into the computer detailed descriptions of your special garments! We document the specification of your garment and give you an itemized receipt.
If you are a new customer, we enter all your information for our records so you may receive specials in the mail. Name, address, e-mail address, phone!
3 Inspect and Label
The Greentree Cleaners specialist inspects and labels your garments. Any special requests are documented and attached to your garment to insure the best possible service for you. Each ticket has a personalized number which is placed on each of your garments, so we can make sure all of your items are delivered on time. Any stains are marked with red tape, so our stain specialist can easily locate them prior to cleaning.
We also look for personal items – to return to you, as well as tears, missing buttons, and stains. Special request and special attention labels are attached to your garment.
4 Sorting
We specialist sorts your garments by color, laundry, dry cleaning, alterations, and stains. Your whites stay white because We only clean your whites in clean detergent. Your darks are separated by only cleaning reds (bleeders) from the rest of the garments. We also put sweaters in bags so they do not cause lint on other garments. All items are properly sorted for processing in the plant.
5 Finding Spot & Removing Stain
Your garment is hand treated prior to cleaning by our stain removal specialist. We use over 20 different stain removal detergents that remove your stains. Some stains are easy and other stains take many attempts to remove from your garments. We will only try to remove stains that will not harm your garments. In the event we need your permission for further work, we will place a note on your garment asking for more time or permission to use stronger detergents.
Our stain removal specialists are trained. They have the experience and knowledge necessary to treat your garment.
6 Cleaning
We have an array of state-of-the-art cleaning equipment that is environmentally-friendly. Each cycle begins with clean detergent. Your whites are cleaned in separate machines or tanks depending on the location. This assures you that our detergents are separated so your whites are as white as they can be. Each load cleans and dries your garments in one cycle. When the cycle is over your garments are spot free, static free, lint-free and odor free.
7 Steam
Your garments are then inspected for any troublesome stains that may not have come out in the first cleaning. If there are stains, the stain specialist is given the garment back immediately for further stain removal. Your garment is then placed on a state of the art steam form finisher to remove most of your wrinkles. We then separate the garments by due date and location.
