Amador County – Jackson Cleaners in downtown Jackson is once again leading the way in green, environmentally friendly dry cleaning. Owners John and Tammy Trevaskis recently purchased a brand new, $55,000 Firbimatic dry cleaning machine made in Italy. The mammoth machine was installed Thursday next to the older, less efficient machine they had used for years. “It’s better for the environment, it’s economical, but the main reason we purchased the Firbimatic is because it’s user-friendly,” said John. The new machine includes a host of more efficient features including a new style of filtrator, faster running time, lower electricity use and a new chiller to help dry the garments. There is also a new feature where the Firbimatic can be used separately as two separate machines processing both whites and colors. John said it will provide up to 30 percent savings in energy costs per year. 60 to 70% of the laundry dropped off at Jackson Cleaners will get dry cleaned through the new and old machine. John said he is keeping the older machine to clean particular items like curtains. All this is the latest step in Jackson Cleaner’s tradition of thinking green. The company has always used environmentally friendly detergents, and the new machine was just the next step said John. Jackson Cleaners, home of the noon whistle, is located at 111 Main Street. Stop by or call 223-1002 for more information. Story by Alex Lane This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
