From our hanger recycling program made from recycled material, to our facilities being fully equipped with all energy efficient LED lighting. We use an automated packaging state of the art equipment that is able to cut the plastic bags to the length of short garments to minimize the use of unnecessary plastic bags, although they\u2019re made of recycled material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re a proud member of the Green Cleaners Council with a 5 leaf status, the highest rating in&nbsp;all of Florida!
