Dry Cleaning in the Times of Covid

 

The CDC and WHO state the dry cleaning and laundry processes kill most viruses.  The CDC advises that the dry cleaning, which includes cleaning and pressing, is effective eliminating viruses. 

According to Dan Eisen, "The heat used in all finishing would most likely destroy all germs, viruses and bacteria. The temperature of the steam created reaches temperatures of over 300 degrees Farenheit. It would seem that steam tunnels would be an efficient way of disinfecting." He adds: "strong solvents such as perchloroethylene have less problems with bacteria." Eisen, a published author and consultant is the former chief garment analyst for the National Cleaners Association.

Dry cleaning your clothes, even when working from home, is part of  comprehensive COVID precautionary measures like wearing masks and gloves, a practice encouraged by our personnel. Society Cleaners is disciplined with the frequent use of EPA-approved disinfectants and proper ventilation. 

Make dry cleaning part of your COVID-protection habits. 

Our best wishes to all our clients, and friends. Please stay safe and be well. 

NOW YOU NEED SOCIETY CLEANERS MORE THAN EVER

·                During times of crisis, when we are all trying to keep each other safe, Society Cleaners is an essential business at your service. We are all engaged in sanitation and protective measures. Our non-combustible solvent is used at the percentage regulated by law (less than 100 ppm). Your garments are later processed through a special method and a deodorizer disk for further protection. Our dry-cleaning process dissolves oil-based materials and is an integral component in attempts to disinfect clothes during the coronavirus crisis:  it breaks up organic materials. Bacteriophage was reduced ten to 100 fold.  Our solvent is non-ozone depleting. Society Cleaners was among the first establishments in South Florida to dispose of contents/containers to an approved waste disposal plant pursuant to the U.S. Clean Air Act. We are considered an essential service and are regularly inspected for safety. Our dry cleaning process is part of our area’s efforts to combat the virus in any way possible. We keep regular business hours, disinfect our premises and work with gloves and masks. 3912 SW 8 Street, Coral Gables, FL 33134. 305 444 6611. societyc@gmail.com

Past Labor Day, prepare for fall at Society Cleaners.

#LaborDay marks the transition to new colors and fabrics in a man’s social and professional wardrobe. Very little is written about the care of men's clothes. Our company has always showed a commitment to the expert attention required by suits, tuxedos and good quality shirts.

In our yearly visit to #Rome, @SocietyCleaners makes it a point to visit legendary @Battistoni on via Condotti, bespoke #sartoria and #shirtmaker to Luchino Visconti, John Ford, Tyrone Power, Jean Cocteau and today's discerning glitterati throughout the world. With a climate fairly similar to South Florida, we look at some of the offerings in colors and materials.

It is time to prepare your fall wardrobe at @Society Cleaners, the award-winning bespoke dry cleaners that for close to five decades has served the truly elegant in South Florida.  Visit us at 3912 SW 8^th Street, Coral Gables, FL 33134. Call us at 305 444 6611.
