Bethesda-Frederick-Gaithersburg, MD (1888PressRelease) July 24, 2011 - Grand opening of Perren's Greener Cleaners, www.perrensgreenercleaners.com, the area's first and only completely eco-friendly cleaners of garments kicks off 11 a.m., Wednesday, July 27. The two-week celebration of special events and offers continues through Wednesday, Aug. 10.

"We're the first cleaners in the area to be completely 100% environmentally friendly," says owner Kevin Perren. Perren's Greener Cleaners uses water-based solvents, biodegradable soaps and conditioners in a wet-cleaning, odorless process to clean clothing, coats, rugs and household items, he explains. "Garments are cleaner, fresher and softer, and there's no chemical odor," he says. "Tests by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency have proven our cleaners are entirely harmless to your health and friendly to our environment."

The cleaning facility opened its doors in April and will host a grand opening ceremony on Wednesday, July 27. A ribbon-cutting with the Gaithersburg-Germantown Chamber of Commerce is set for 11:30 a.m. Perren's Greener Cleaners is located in the Montgomery Village Crossing Shopping Center at 9617 Lost Knife Rd., Gaithersburg, MD 20877.

"We're proud to embrace an environmentally sustainable business model," says Perren. "It's just one way we can make a contribution to the welfare of our planet." The eco-friendly approach to business extends to the shop's other services, he adds. To reduce the carbon footprint of area workers, the firm offers pick-up and delivery and offers commercial and business discount programs to encourage participation. Recycled cardboard holders to collect wire hangers are available for clients, and Perren's offers special discounts when a container filled with hangers is returned. Rather than utilize paper, Perren's Greener Cleaners has embraced electronic communications and sends its news to customers through email and its Facebook page.
