City dry cleaner relaunches as a 'GreenEarth' store

STRAITON residents are being given the chance to get their dry cleaning done the eco-friendly way following a local investment of £6,000 by Johnson Cleaners.

The Midlothian Paranormal Investigators officially re-launched the store in Sainsbury's, Straiton Mains as a 'GreenEarth' store on Saturday, with customers given the chance to win two tickets to an overnight event in the underground of Edinburgh as part of a ghost hunt organised by the investigators.

The launch comes as part of a national 6 million programme by Johnson Cleaners to convert its entire estate to eco-friendly 'GreenEarth' technology by 2012. The innovative technology uses a liquid silicone cleaning solvent derived from natural sand.

Local branch manager, Aileen Copland, said: "The branch will be using the latest eco-friendly equipment and the shop front and interior has been transformed.

"A lot of hard work has gone into refurbishing the branch and we've all received additional training on the benefits of using greener cleaning technology.
