What are the
advantages of industrial dry cleaning? |
|
 |
Industrial dry cleaning provides you with a large
cost savings, allows you to better monitor product
usage, and reduces the amount of products dumped into
your local landfill. |
|
| |
|
|
 |
How much can we save by
recycling our gloves? |
|
 |
You can realistically save up to 50% of your new
glove cost by dry cleaning instead of buying new. |
|
| |
|
|
 |
How much does industrial
dry cleaning cost? |
|
 |
To determine cost, we encourage you to send us a
trial order so that we can see exactly what items
you would like to have cleaned and to see if special
handling is required. |
|
| |
|
|
 |
How can I find out if our
dirty gloves can be recycled? |
|
 |
We will do a free trial order of gloves, shop or
print towels, dust bags, welding apparel or any other
item you think might be recyclable. You pay the freight
to get it to us and we will clean the order free of
charge and pay the return freight. You will receive
a "no charge" invoice that will show what
your unit cost to clean will be. |

|
|
 |
Will our employees object
to wearing recycled gloves? |
|
 |
Many people prefer recycled gloves because they
are softer and more flexible. |
|
| |
|
|
 |
What is the best way to
set up a glove-cleaning program in our plant? |
|
 |
Our customers have found that the collection point
for dirty gloves should be in a centralized area and
employees should turn in a dirty pair of gloves to
a collection receptacle before receiving a clean pair. |
|
| |
|
|
 |
How do I get my dry cleaning
order to and from your plant? |
|
 |
We utilize UPS and common carriers to ship product
to and from our plant. We have negotiated very favorable
rates with carriers and would be happy to assist you
in selecting the best transportation service from
your facility. |
|
| |
|
|
 |
What is the turn around
time for getting our orders back? |
|
 |
Most glove orders are cleaned and shipped back to
our customers the next day. Some large orders are
set up on a weekly rotation. |
|
| |
|
|
 |
How can I be sure we get
back the same product that we send to you? |
|
 |
We batch clean every order that we receive to ensure
it is not mixed with any other order and to ensure
that you always get back exactly what you sent in. |
|
| |
|
|
 |
Can you clean oil absorbent
material? |
|
 |
Yes. We can clean and recycle oil absorbent socks
and mat material. However, the socks and mat material
must be specifically designed to be recycled. Most
of them are made of polypropylene and can be cleaned
and reused up to 100 times. |
|
| |
|
|
 |
Is it possible to contract
HIV/AIDS from wearing recycled gloves? |
|
 |
The Center for Disease Control has determined that
the cleaning solvents and heat used in the dry cleaning
process are sufficient to destroy blood-borne pathogens,
including HIV/AIDS. |
|
| |
|
|
 |
What happens to the waste
material extracted from our products? |
|
 |
We treat all of the waste material extracted from
your products during dry cleaning as hazardous waste.
Our closed-loop system ensures that all of the waste
byproduct leaves our plant in hazardous waste totes.
We utilize the service of a nationally known waste
disposal company for transportation to an EPA permitted
disposal site. |
|
| |
|
|
 |
How many times can a product
be dry cleaned? |
|
 |
Through our experience, we find most orders can
be dry cleaned an average of 6-10 times, depending
on the application of the products. |
