WHY IS GREENEARTH SO REVOLUTIONARY?
GreenEarth treats clothes like a mineral bath, so they don’t just come back clean, they come back rejuvenated. GreenEarth won’t damage fibres or leech dye like conventional dry cleaning, so clothes look newer longer. Colours stay bright and clear. Whites are whiter and repeated cleanings won’t cause yellowing over time.
Fabrics love GreenEarth because it isn’t harsh like petrochemical solvents. It uses pure liquid silicone derived from sand, one of the earth’s most abundant natural resources. When left out in the open, GreenEarth breaks down into sand, oxygen and carbon-dioxide, leaving no toxic chemicals behind. GreenEarth is a remarkably effective and safe technology for dry-cleaning clothes, and a solution that is also gentle for the planet.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I FORGET TO COLLECT MY CLOTHES?
Kindly collect your items as soon as possible after they are ready. Items that are uncollected after a month will be subject to our handling and may be donated to a charity of our choice without prior notice.
-
ARE ALL THE CLOTHES TREATED THE SAME?
Our professionals take great care from the moment your clothes are collected to when they are returned.
Our production team starts by noting the pre-existing condition of the garment. While we do our best to locate all stains/conditions, we may still miss some. Hence, do let us know if there is anything you’d like us to pay special attention to. Any instructions for the finishing is also noted down at this stage.
We then separate each garment by cleaning process, colour, and fabric type. After the cleaning has been done, the garments are sent to various stations to be pressed.
The final process is where the pressed clothes are sent for quality checks before being packed and prepared to be sent to you.
While the treatment of each garment depends on the cleaning needs of each item, the amount of love put into every item is the same!
-
CAN YOU REMOVE A STAIN FROM MY GARMENT?
Effective stain removal depends on how the stain was initially treated, how long it has set in the fabric and what type of fabric we are dealing with. Stains include but are not limited to food and beverage stains, mold, storage stains and color bleed issues.
We try our best to remove stains as much as possible, but not all stains can be removed. In situations where the stain cannot be removed or lightened, the cleaning fee will still be charged as overall cleaning has still been done for your item.
We will not be liable for stains that cannot be removed, nor will we be liable for any accidental damage to fabric, delicate or otherwise, due to removal of pre-existing stains.
-
CAN YOU DO ALTERATIONS?
We are able to assist with simple alterations for items sent in for cleaning. (eg. replacing buttons subject to buttons availability, simple hemming and hole patching subject on fabric color availability.)
These services are done complimentary upon your request in-house and we will not be liable for the results of the alterations.
