Lapels Dry
Cleaning, an innovative, environmentally friendly dry cleaning company
headquartered in Hanover, Massachusetts, recently signed an agreement to
provide dry cleaning to the Boston Harbor Hotel. Lapels Dry Cleaning of South
Boston and its satellite locations—Lapels Dry Cleaning of Boston Longfellow and
Lapels Dry Cleaning of the Seaport District—will offer dry cleaning services to
Boston Harbor Hotel guests and staff.
“We formed
our corporate/ hospitality division a little over a year ago with the express
purpose of providing better service to hotels, restaurants and corporate
accounts that require and/or offer dry cleaning services for guests and staff,”
said Kevin Dubois, CEO of Lapels Dry Cleaning. “Landing a property like The
Boston Harbor Hotel demonstrates quite clearly the effectiveness of the new
division and our offering.
Lapels Dry
Cleaning’s new division equips each Lapels Dry Cleaning plant to serve
restaurants, hotels and other guest-oriented businesses with its full range of
dry cleaning offerings. This will include same-day and 24-hour dry cleaning,
tailoring, etc.
In addition
to The Boston Harbor Hotel, Lapels Dry Cleaning boasts a wide range of
corporate clients. That includes Intel, Google, Marriott Corporation and others.
“A large
part of the appeal is how we can help hotels, restaurants and corporations
decrease their carbon footprint,” said Dubois. “We do that first by utilizing a
more environmentally friendly dry cleaning process. For a city hotel like
Boston Harbor Hotel we reduce it even further by being able to dry clean our
clothes in dry cleaning plant less than five miles away in Boston.”
Lapels has pioneered an
eco-friendly dry cleaning experience over the past 18 years. Part of that effort
includes a partnership agreement with GreenEarth®, the dry cleaning industry’s
only non-toxic cleaning alternative. Lapels Dry Cleaning’s newer locations use
GreenEarth® solutions. Using these kinds of solutions and the latest technology in equipment,
Lapels is one of the few dry cleaners able to boast that there is no hazardous
waste in their process.
“When you’re on the road and you want your clothes
cleaned, you’re not necessarily thinking of the long-term effect on your
clothes,” said Dubois. “All our locations serving corporate accounts use
GreenEarth® solutions. Consequently, our cleaning process has no odor and is
gentler on clothes, thus lengthening the life of clothes. That’s a comforting
thought for business travelers.”
Lapels
offers it’s customers Automatic Rewards earning them credit towards free dry
cleaning for every dollar they spend, Loyalty Programs, a VIP Program which
eliminates the need to wait in line, the use of a 24 Hour Drop Off Service and
FREE Home Delivery to all its customers. Same day service is also available
