Green Cleaning at Palthe: how we clean and help the environment
Why we chose Green Cleaning
Customers told us they were worried about the chemicals in regular cleaning. We listened. Not because it was trendy, but because it was simply better. For your clothes and for the environment.
At Palthe Den Haag, we have been working with textiles since 1870. We know that good cleaning does not come from washing harder. It comes from washing smarter. Green Cleaning is an example of that.
Our three approaches to Green Cleaning
1. Smart products
We do not use harsh chemicals. Instead, we use products that:
- Are fully biodegradable (after 28 days they are gone)
- Are safe for sensitive skin
- Leave no bad residues on your clothes
2. Less water, better results
Our water system filters and reuses water. That means:
- 40 percent less water usage per wash cycle
- No polluted wastewater
- Consistent clean results
3. Energy-conscious machines
Our machines were recently replaced with the most efficient models:
- 30 percent less energy use compared to old systems
- Smart temperature control for each program
- LED lighting throughout our facility
What does this mean for your clothes?
You want to know: how does this treat my stuff?
The answer is: better than you think.
Fabrics last longer
No harsh chemicals means fibers stay intact. Wool pills less. Silk keeps its sheen. Spandex keeps its stretch. Your clothes simply last longer.
Safe for everyone
Baby clothes, sensitive skin, eczema. Green Cleaning is gentle where it needs to be. Your family deserves clothes without hidden residues.
How good are our results?
You are wondering: is sustainable really clean?
Yes. Our customers do not notice a difference. And that is exactly the point. Green Cleaning does the same as traditional cleaning, but better for the environment and better for your clothes.
