Donations collected at the breakfast were in support of Oakvilles Fareshare food bank. MICHELLE SIU / OAKVILLE BEAVER Breakfast Dove Cleaners is not your typical dry cleaning company. While companies have been picking up on the live green movement over the past few years, Dove Cleaners is the world's first and only dry cleaner with ISO 9001 Quality Registration Certification, exceeding the environmen- tal regulations set in Canada with their environmentally conscious process. The biggest difference between Dove Cleaners and other dry-cleaning services is the environmental approach we take to our business, says Shermin Zarif, owner and operator of Dove Cleaners Oakville location. We at Dove would like to do our part to ensure a healthier future. Dove Cleaners has upped the ante by using GreenEarth's cleaning system, consisting of a liquid silicone solution and a machine that emits no gas into the environment. Traditional dry cleaning uses harmful chemicals that are toxic to environment, as well as hazardous to those who work with the solutions. The GreenEarth cleaning solution is so gentle and causes no damage to the garments or the skin in which they come in contact with, says Zarif. Not only is it environmentally-friendly, but it also adds to the life of garments. Dove Cleaners came to Toronto in the late 1990s and with 16 locations opened over the last 20 years and three more opening in 2011, the company has devel- op into Canadas largest high-end dry cleaning business. It is a family-run success; since 2007, Zarifs brother Danny has been President and Chief Executive Officer of the entire franchise and Dannys wife Kelly works as the Chief Assistant Officer. Were on the boutique end of dry cleaning, part of the new generation of the business, says Kelly. Dove Cleaners is a world away from the traditional dry cleaning process; we consider ourselves a leader in advancements of the industry. In addition to using an environmen- tally friendly cleaning process, all of Dove Cleaners' work is done in their own facil- ity, eliminating the need to outsource to other cleaning services. All of Dove Cleaners products, hang- ers and packaging materials can be returned to any Dove Cleaners location to be recycled, and all of their polybags are made from 100 per cent recyclable materials. While some greener alterna- tives require the sacrifice of quality, Dove Cleaners ensures that each and every garment that goes through their process comes out as clean as (if not cleaner) than one dry-cleaned the traditional way. Every garment is put through a five-point inspection before its returned, says Zarif. Nothing gets overlooked. Every garment is pre-spotted, dress shirt collars and cuffs are thor- oughly scrubbed and washed in cold water to prevent shrinkage, everything is hand-pressed and minor repairs are done, free of charge. Each garment receives a thorough check before being returned and we offer pick-up and drop-off of garments at your home or office, making dry cleaning more accessible for clients that work long days. With that level of commitment and precision, its no surprise that Dove Cleaners has garnered the title of Torontos Best Dry Cleaner from both Toronto Life and Flare magazines. From the expert care to the green approach to the business, Dove Cleaners has made huge strides in the dry cleaning industry and will continue to do so into the future.
