Johnson Cleaners invests £1m across 340 stores

Preston-based Johnson Cleaners has invested £1m in US green cleaning technology across its 340 stores.

From October, Johnson’s stores will use GreenEarth® technology which negates the use of PERC, a chemical traditionally used in dry cleaning which causes clothes to wear and fade.

Johnson Cleaners is a founding member of GreenEarth® and worked with the American based cleaning company since 2003.

Johnson Cleaners’ managing director, Paul Ogle, said: “This is a significant investment for the company but one that will benefit us, the environment and most importantly the customer.

“Our research tells us that customers do care about the impact they have on the environment but they also want to know that the service we provide will give the best possible results when it comes to their dry cleaning – GreenEarth® provides the perfect solution.”

Johnson’s 1,700 staff have all received five days of training on the new technology which minimises the impact that cleaning processes have on the environment.
