A MORE ADVANCED
CLEAN FOR A BETTER
SHADE OF GREEN.
Imagine a workforce where virtually no water is wasted
to keep employees in the cleanest of uniforms. If we can
dream it, we can do it. Our innovative science-based laundry
process provides sanitized medical apparel and more, all
while reducing our combined energy usage by 15% versus
our previous process. Whether we’re working with hospitals,
businesses, universities, or stadiums, innovative customer
service is the essence of what we do.
