Don Dallons - Green Earth The new GreenEarth solution is good for you, our customers, because it is an excellent cleaner; it is odorless and leaves your clothes feeling and looking like new. It is good for the drycleaning industry because it is not toxic and can be handled easily and safely. It is good for all of us and our employees since it is affordable, can be used by large and small drycleaners, and provides a safe workplace. And "it is good for everybody" around the world since it is an environmentally friendly product and process!
Joe
Bays - Pacific Equipment
is a distributor for RYNEX dry-cleaning solvent in Washington,
Oregon and northern Idaho.Pacific
started up a new RYNEX dry-cleaning store on September 1, 2002. . Several
local drycleaners attended a demonstration and appeared to be very impressed
with the performance of RYNEX. Unlike competitive alternatives to Perc, RYNEX
proved to be a powerful solvent with cleaning capabilities comparable to Perc,
but without the addition of any chemical additives. The ability to clean without
chemicals generates a significant cost savings and retains the properties
that make RYNEX so desirable, i.e. Biodegradable, Non-toxic, Non-hazardous,
Non-polluting.
