Environment

Since 1970, we have been processing fire restorations with the same high standards, always using state of the art equipment and processes. We have grown to be one of Illinois' premier fire restoration operations providing clothing cleaning services as a sub-contractor to a vast number of operations throughout the state. Our high standards have allowed us to win the Governor's Pollution Prevention Award In 2000 and 2002, the US EPA's National Environmental Performance Track Award, and a two-time winner of the Illinois State Drycleaner of the Year Award.

Those same principles have allowed us to provide the finest available services for fire restoration. We are one of only a few dry cleaners in the United States to use a liquid CO2 drycleaning machine. This CO2 machine allows us to provide the most environmentally efficient cleaning process available. It also provides additional benefits that are unavailable in most drycleaning processes.

Benefits of CO2 Machines

Once CO2 liquid is vented, it becomes a gas that is present in the atmosphere so there is no allergic effect or residual from the solvent itself. It also has a benefit in the arena of mold remederation, because live cultures do not proliferate in a CO2 environment. It also has the effect of destroying mold spore structures, due to the high-pressure operation on the machine (750 lbs. of pressure is exerted on the spore). After depressurized, the spore's protective casings are unable to decompress as rapidly and have a tendency to detonate (this then renders the spore inert) in an unsuitable environment inside the CO2 drycleaning machine. This type of recovery work is becoming very predominate in restoration.

We also use wet cleaning and the latest non-toxic Class III-A solvents.
