Shaffer Dry Cleaning

Did you know that Shaffer Dry Cleaning has been “perc” free since 1998? “Perc” (which has a really long official name – perchloroethylene) is a commonly used solvent that is not only extremely toxic but there is compelling evidence that it is a carcinogen. Did you know that you can bring all of your hangers to Shaffers for recycling? Did you know that all of their locations are drop off centers for Big Brothers and Big Sisters clothing donations? Did you know that on the Shaffer Dry Cleaning website, there are some great articles in the “environment” section about the different types of processes used in dry cleaning and the pros and cons about each of them? And did you know that “Bake” and Patricia might strangle Mrs. Green if I wrote about ALL of the charity events they support including Angel Charity for Children’s annual Bags, Baubles and Ball Gowns event? Because at the end of the day, I know they just want to do the right thing. And now you know.
