System K4 Dry Cleaning Biobased SOLVONK4 Awarded the USDA BioPreferred ® Product Label 88%

System K4 Dry Cleaning Biobased SOLVONK4 Awarded the USDA BioPreferred ® Product Label 88%

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-usda-biopreferred-program-brings-clarity-biodegradability-8gvoe/

​The USDA BioPreferred Program is a federal initiative aimed at promoting the development and use of biobased products—those derived from plants and other renewable agricultural, marine, and forestry materials. Established under the 2002 Farm Bill and expanded in subsequent legislation, the program seeks to reduce reliance on petroleum, enhance the use of renewable resources, and stimulate economic development by creating new markets for farm commodities. ​unist.com+4usda.gov+4envirotextiles.com+4usda.gov+3envirotextiles.com+3unist.com+3

Key Components of the BioPreferred Program:

  1. Mandatory Federal Purchasing: Federal agencies and their contractors are required to give preference to designated categories of biobased products when making purchasing decisions. This mandate aims to increase the demand for biobased products, thereby supporting the growth of the biobased economy. ​biopreferred.gov+3locusingredients.com+3unist.com+3

  2. Voluntary Labeling Initiative: The program offers a voluntary certification and labeling system that allows manufacturers to display the “USDA Certified Biobased Product” label on products that meet the program’s criteria. This label helps consumers identify products with verified biobased content, promoting informed purchasing decisions. ​biopreferred.gov+6locusingredients.com+6envirotextiles.com+6

Defining Biodegradability in the Context of the BioPreferred Program:

Biodegradability refers to the capacity of a material to be decomposed by biological agents, especially bacteria, into natural substances like water, carbon dioxide, and biomass. Within the BioPreferred Program, biodegradability is an important attribute as many biobased products are designed to break down naturally, reducing environmental impact. ​ecfr.gov

Benefits of Biobased and Biodegradable Products:

  • Environmental Impact: Biobased products often have a reduced carbon footprint compared to their petroleum-based counterparts. Their biodegradability ensures they decompose naturally, minimizing pollution and waste accumulation. ​locusingredients.com+1sustainablejungle.com+1

  • Economic Growth: The production and use of biobased products support agricultural and rural economies by creating jobs and opening new markets for renewable resources. ​usda.gov+1unist.com+1

  • Reduced Petroleum Dependence: By utilizing renewable resources, biobased products decrease reliance on finite fossil fuels, contributing to energy security and sustainability. ​

Challenges and Considerations:

While the BioPreferred Program has made significant strides, challenges remain in educating consumers and businesses about the benefits of biobased products and ensuring that these products meet performance expectations. Additionally, not all biobased products are biodegradable, and the environmental benefits can vary depending on the entire lifecycle of the product.  https://www.joescleaner.com/ ​sustainablejungle.com 

Conclusion:

The USDA BioPreferred Program plays a pivotal role in advancing the use of biobased products, offering environmental benefits through reduced pollution and supporting economic growth in rural communities. By understanding and participating in this program, consumers and businesses can make more informed choices that contribute to a sustainable future.​usda.gov+4locusingredients.com+4envirotextiles.com+4

Zone Cleaning Method?

Home Zone Cleaning

“존 클리닝(Zone Cleaning)” 방법은 집을 여러 개의 구역(Zone)으로 나누고, 한 번에 하나의 구역을 집중적으로 청소하는 방식입니다. 이는 청소를 보다 체계적이고 덜 부담스럽게 만드는 전략적인 방법입니다.

존 클리닝의 핵심 원칙

  1. 집을 구역으로 나누기 – 집 전체를 한꺼번에 청소하려고 하지 않고, 부엌, 거실, 침실 등 특정 공간을 각각 하나의 구역으로 설정합니다.
  2. 한 번에 하나씩 집중 – 하루에 하나의 구역을 선택하여 철저하게 청소하고 정리합니다.
  3. 작업을 세분화 – 각 구역에서 해야 할 청소 작업(예: 먼지 제거, 정리, 바닥 닦기 등)을 리스트로 만들어 한 단계씩 수행합니다.
  4. 루틴 만들기 – 일정한 주기로 특정 구역을 청소하는 습관을 들이면 전체적인 유지 관리가 쉬워집니다.

존 클리닝의 장점

  • 효율적 관리: 한꺼번에 대청소를 하는 부담을 줄이고, 지속적으로 깨끗한 상태를 유지할 수 있습니다.
  • 심리적 부담 감소: 전체 공간을 청소하려는 압박감이 줄어들어 스트레스가 적습니다.
  • 일정한 청소 습관 형성: 정해진 루틴을 따르면 청소가 자동화되어 더욱 수월해집니다.

예시: 주간 존 클리닝 스케줄

요일 청소 구역
월요일 거실
화요일 부엌
수요일 욕실
목요일 침실
금요일 현관 및 복도
토요일 창문 및 가구 먼지 제거
일요일 쉬는 날 or 보충 청소

이 방법은 퍼즐을 한 조각씩 맞추거나, 하이킹을 한 걸음씩 나아가는 것과 같은 접근 방식으로, 조금씩 진행하면서도 결국에는 전체를 완성하는 데 초점을 맞추고 있습니다.

Tip your tailor

Should You Tip Your Tailor? Here’s What Experts Say

Tipping your tailor is an unwritten “fashion rule.”

Having your clothing tailored is one of those service fashion rule s that’s absolutely necessary, but often underrated. Broken zipper on your jeans? A thrifted dress that doesn’t fit quite right? A treasured favorite badly in need of repair? Tailors come in clutch for all the above scenarios and so many more. This begs the question: How much should you tip your tailor, and is a tip even required? The answer depends, but our handy guide on tipping tailors makes it a cinch.

Should You Always Tip Your Tailor? 

Tipping your tailor isn’t mandatory or even expected in most cases, but that’s not to say it isn’t very much appreciated. Rhonda Marinoff, a personal fashion stylist based in New York City, calls it an “unwritten fashion rule” of sorts, and says that it’s often in good form to add a little extra on top of the standard fee. This is particularly true if it’s exceptional service—like when your tailor makes complex alterations or they come in clutch at the last minute.

How Much to Tip Your Tailor 

It’s not a requirement to tip your tailor. However, if you’d like to tip then a good rule of thumb is to aim for 10% to 15% of the total alteration cost. You can also follow this simple tailor tipping guide:

Standard Tailoring: $0 to $20 

This includes quick fixes like addressing hems, tears, zippers, and minor fit adjustments. If you want to show gratitude, a tip of $5 to $20 (or more for complicated work) is a nice gesture. Otherwise, a great review, word-of-mouth referrals, or bringing repeat business can be just as valuable.

Holiday Tipping Etiquette: “If you use a dressmaker regularly, an extra appreciation gift during the holiday season is a wonderful gesture,” Marinoff says. The amount is up to you, but anywhere from $25 to $100 is a great place to land.

High End Stores: $0 to $100+ 

Tipping a tailor is usually not expected when having your garment tailored at a high-end store since alterations are often baked into their pricing structure. However, if you receive exceptional service—like last-minute alterations, extensive custom work, or extra attention to detail—then tipping is a kind gesture.

Bridal: $20 to $100+

Tipping a bridal tailor is more common than tipping a regular tailor, especially for intricate gown alterations. While tipping your tailor still isn’t mandatory in this case, it’s a simple way to shows appreciation of their skill and effort. The more complex the work (or if it required a quick turnaround), the higher the tip.

Exceptions to the Tipping Rule

The only exception to these general tailor tipping guidelines is if you’re not happy with the work. “If services were not satisfactory and the dressmaker was not willing to try to improve on the service, no tip would be appropriate,” Marinoff says.

In this case, being honest with the tailor is important. Marinoff says, “The fit of a garment is almost as important as the garment itself. A poorly fit garment can ruin the most gorgeous garment. The right length of a dress, fit of bustline, waist placement, sleeve and shoulder fit, etc. should lay perfectly—every small detail counts.”

That said, if you find an exceptional tailor who always nails it or is a collaborative partner, then it’s worth keeping them around and showing them gratitude through tipping. Marinoff says, “A great dressmaker on your team is essential!”

Future Of Dry cleaning

Future Of Dry cleaning

Future Of Dry cleaning

The dry cleaning industry is changing. Cleaners must update services to attract younger customers.

In Part 1, we covered industry consolidation and labor issues. Part 2 focused on technology’s impact in 2025. Today, we highlight new opportunities.

Past vs Future

“Formal dress isn’t coming back,” says Mary Scalco, CEO of the Drycleaning & Laundry Institute. “We need to clean everyday clothes.”

Christopher White, executive director of America’s Best Cleaners, sees growth in the circular fashion economy. Cleaners can extend clothing life, reduce waste, and promote sustainability.

“Re-commerce in the U.S. will hit $73 billion by 2025,” White says. “If 5% of shoppers use dry cleaners yearly, it’s a big opportunity.”

“Younger people love vintage and thrifting,” Scalco adds. “They invest in quality over fast fashion.”

White notes opportunities in cleaning luxury items like Louis Vuitton bags and Balenciaga sneakers.

Cleaners must rebrand to attract new customers.

“I’d rename ‘dry cleaning’ if I could,” Scalco says. “People just want their clothes cared for.”

“Many young people don’t know our industry exists,” White says. “We can show we support sustainability.”

Keys to Success

Scalco and White say success needs a new mindset.

“Break old habits, market better, and attract younger customers,” Scalco advises.

“If you’re stuck in old ways, others will take your customers,” White warns.

Waiting for old trends like suits and ties won’t work.

“They’re not coming back,” Scalco says.

Explore new markets while keeping core services strong.

“New markets don’t need big investments,” White says. “Get your message out.”

“Be proactive,” Scalco concludes. “Grab every opportunity. Don’t just react.”

EPA Enacts Ban on Perc

/in /by

Do you not know why Perc solvent used in laundries is regulated by law?

Perchloroethylene (commonly called “Perc”) is a solvent widely used in dry cleaning due to its effectiveness in removing stains and dirt from fabrics. However, its use is regulated by law because of its potential environmental and health risks. Here’s why:

Joe’s Cleaner has had an alternative for a long time

Wet-Cleaning-Joe's-Dry-Cleaners

1. Health Risks
Toxicity: Perc is classified as a potential carcinogen by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Long-term exposure can lead to an increased risk of cancer.
Respiratory and Nervous System Effects: Short-term exposure to Perc fumes can cause dizziness, headaches, nausea, and irritation to the eyes and throat. Prolonged exposure can damage the central nervous system and liver.
Workplace Safety: Workers in dry cleaning facilities are at higher risk due to consistent exposure, necessitating regulations to ensure safe handling.
2. Environmental Impact
Air Pollution: Perc easily evaporates into the air, contributing to air pollution and smog formation.
Soil and Water Contamination: When spilled or improperly disposed of, Perc can seep into the ground, contaminating soil and groundwater, which is costly and difficult to remediate.
3. Regulatory Framework
Emission Standards: The U.S. EPA regulates Perc under the Clean Air Act, with strict standards for emissions from dry cleaning facilities to limit environmental impact.
Hazardous Waste Designation: Perc is classified as hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). This requires dry cleaners to dispose of it through approved methods.
Worker Protection: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) enforces limits on workplace exposure to Perc, requiring proper ventilation, protective equipment, and monitoring.
4. Shift to Alternatives
Due to these risks, many dry cleaners are transitioning to safer and more sustainable alternatives, such as wet cleaning systems, hydrocarbon solvents, or newer technologies like liquid carbon dioxide cleaning.
Regulations aim to minimize Perc’s risks to public health, workers, and the environment while encouraging the adoption of safer practices and technologies.

The ban announced on Dec. 9 affects perchloroethylene, also known as PCE or perc, along with trichloroethylene (TCE). The EPA’s intention of sunsetting of these two solvents was first announced in June 2023, when the agency opened the discussion to the public. Through the efforts of drycleaning industry groups such as the Drycleaning & Laundry Institute (DLI) and the National Cleaners Association (NCA), however, dry cleaners will have a longer timeline than many other industries to eliminate perc from their process.

Under the ban proposed last year, dry cleaners with older, third-generation drycleaning machines will have three years to transition to alternative solvents. Cleaners with newer fourth- and fifth-generation equipment, which collects and stores perc more efficiently, would have 10 years to make the change.
