Jones Cleaning Centers of Fresno, CA Works to Keep Environment Clean, Too

Sept. 13, 2010 - PRLog -- FRESNO – Jones Cleaning Centers (Jones) of Fresno, CA has been actively eco-conscious since 2002.  The company recently joined the Green Business Bureau (GBB) to begin their green business certification process and to help foster green awareness in their community.

“We decided to go green for our employees, our customers and the environment,” says Robin Kraemer, Jones’ President. “In fact, we converted to green shortly after a green way of dry-cleaning became available.”

The list of green practices employed by Jones is long and offers proof of the company’s commitment to the environment.  Jones currently uses Green Earth cleaning solutions for dry-cleaning process and Faultless by Nature solutions for laundry process. The company runs not one, but two hanger recycling programs.  The first, for wire hangers, offers customers hanger caddies which they can fill up with wire hangers and return to Jones for recycle or reuse.  The second, for plastic hangers, offers customers a 25 cent credit for each plastic hanger that is reused.  Equipment is run by a high-efficiency, “low-nox” steam boiler.

Even the building Jones occupies has been retrofitted to be more eco-friendly, using energy efficient lighting systems and several large skylights for natural lighting. All of the building’s plumbing and toilets use low-flow systems, and landscaped areas are all on drip irrigation to help conserve water.

According to Kraemer, the decision to join the GBB was an easy one.  

“We chose the GBB mainly because it’s the first of its kind,” says Kraemer.  “We feel that being part of a larger organization of fellow eco-minded companies is a great opportunity to spread green awareness.”

Moving forward, Kraemer adds, “We are looking forward to finding other ways to preserve and conserve our Earth’s natural resources.”
