Jeeves Attends Perry Ellis Fall 2010 Fashion Show

After an exciting but exhausting weekend, Jeeves was thrilled to be in the audience for the show of one of his favorite men’s designers, Perry Ellis and not be tucked away backstage.

As soon as the first look hit the runway your man Jeeves already knew he was going to be very busy next fall if these looks are indicative of what is to come. With jackets in deep hues, and made of distinct materials including goat skin had Jeeves on the edge of his seat for what would be next down the runway.

Jeeves was very excited to see that velvet blazers would be returning to the stores next fall, but with a little more flare for the dramatic with their leather trimming.  There was no shortage of fitted suits perfect for your man Jeeves and his clients.

If you also enjoyed the Perry Ellis Fall 2010 collection just remember that your man Jeeves offers the best leather cleaning in NYC, and his chemical free ECO2 Cleanse process will keep your suits looking sharp and odorless!

Jeeves cleans down with CO2

As the weekend approaches, so does the impending doom of yet another winter storm bringing with it lots of frozen precipitation, and the need for the warmest of your outerwear.

Your man Jeeves has had just about enough of these cold New York days, and is certainly ready for spring and the warmer weather. However, on these brisk days he braves the streets wearing his down jacket which he only used to wear on the exceptionally cold days because it was quite an ordeal to clean.

In the past Jeeves had avoided cleaning this jacket at great lengths due to the fact that the first one he purchased when arriving in the US was almost ruined because of his ignorance to care for a garment he was unfamiliar with.

Many down jackets instruct the consumer NOT to dry clean these jackets. Why? Typically, in the dry cleaning process the feathers all clump together so that their warmth is no longer distributed throughout the entire jacket. Worst of all, the chemical odor lingers in the feathers and follows you everywhere.

The same results tend to happen with home cleaning sans the cleaning odor, but with the added potential for a devastating headache as many cleaning professionals instruct that tennis balls or sneakers be placed in the dryer with the jacket to help redistribute the feathers.

This cleaning was a futile effort for your man Jeeves until now. With the introduction of the CO2 machine, and this being Jeeves’ first winter with the ECO2 Cleanse process he figured he would try his luck. By this point he had tried everything else…

Before cleaning Jeeves was very hopeful, for he had helped Mrs. Jeeves during the last snow blast, and had seriously soiled his jacket. In case you were unaware your man Jeeves LOVES color, so his vibrant jacket does not conceal stains well.

The results were remarkable! The jacket was removed from the machine spotless, odorless, and colder than the temperature outside the store. Your man Jeeves felt like he had just received a brand new jacket and it only took half the time of regular dry cleaning.

CO2 dry cleaning is able to clean any down jacket much better than any other process and in much less time.

For all your down jacket cleaning needs come visit your man Jeeves, the only luxury garment care firm with CO2 in all of Manhattan.

The Doctor is in

A recent discovery in the medical world inspired your man Jeeves to do a little research of his own. Doctors everywhere have been under the microscope ( quite literally) for their standard uniform involving a potential bacteria transmitter.

You may be wondering how this is even possible as hospitals are known to be among the most sterile places. The answer my friends is simple. The necktie. As I had mentioned in my post from last week there is a certain aura of professionalism and success associated with one’s appearance.

Especially in a field such as medicine individuals will undoubtedly have more confidence in a well dressed physician than a slovenly man. This being said you can imagine the uproar this is causing among medical professionals.

About five years ago, a study was performed right here in the city at the New York Hospital Medical Center of Queens that involved 42 medical personnel. Your man Jeeves was shocked to learn that almost 50% if the neckties analyzed were host to bacteria that can cause pneumonia, blood infections, and more.

Before learning of the correlation between germs and ties your man Jeeves would have never assumed this to be an issue. Jeeves would only dryclean his ties if he were to have a little mishap while eating.

It is beneficial that your man Jeeves is so well informed because now he can share this valuable information with his clients some of whom practice medicine in Manhattan.

The streamlined ECO2 Cleanse process does a remarkable job of cleaning as many of you may already know, however you were probably unaware that it has also proven to be very effective at removing contaminants.

Research has been conducted that would suggest cleaning with CO2 kills germs more effectively than traditional drycleaning. Since research and testing are continuing this is not a FDA approved method yet.

Your man Jeeves would hate to see the tie go out of style so if you are affiliated with medicine in Manhattan in anyway please allow Jeeves and his ECO2 Cleanse process to help keep ties bacteria free.

From Science Fiction to Reality

The door clicked into a locked position, as the technician rotated the door hatch. She checked the visual indicator to make sure the seal was not breached and then glanced at the computer screen to initiate the pressurization sequence.

Carbon dioxide began to pump from the holding tanks into the chamber as the pressure went from sea level to 650 PSI.  The carbon dioxide began to transform into a liquid, exactly what the technician needed.

Once the desired result had been achieved, the cylinder depressurized, and the CO2 returned to its original state as a gas.

When the technician released the hatch and opened the door she witnessed something remarkable…

Her blouse and jacket from the night before had been cleaned. Perfectly.

If you’re thinking that your man Jeeves has a soft spot for science fiction, think again.  Described above is the Eco2 Cleanse process, available at Jeeves NY, and is the newest most technologically advanced way to clean clothes.

Little has changed since the evolution of dry cleaning over the last 150 years, and your man Jeeves has always understood the fundamentals of clothes washing, garments are washed in a liquid (either a petrochemical or water), soap is added to remove stains and then dried using heat.

CO2 dry cleaning changed every one of Jeeves’ beliefs about the cleaning process when he was first introduced to Eco2 Cleanse. Although clothes are still washed in a liquid, the physical properties of CO2 allow clothing to be cleaned in a heat free environment so they are removed from the machine at near freezing temperatures.

Your man Jeeves has really outdone himself this time with the level of cleaning he is now offering clients due to his exclusive use of CO2 on dry cleaning. This method far surpasses any other dry cleaning method out there.  Jeeves is also preserving your wardrobe by subjecting your garments to less wear-and-tear with his new system!

CO2 dry cleaning right now is very rare with less than 25 firms in the world using this type of technology. Lucky for all you residing in Manhattan, Jeeves of Belgravia can offer you this service, and you can join your man Jeeves in his innovative industry changes.

The CO2 process is also the only method of dry cleaning that has been approved as safe by the EPA.

For dry cleaning New York you can choose traditional dry cleaning which has not evolved in 150 years or turn to your man Jeeves and his new process that is Simply Green, Simply Clean and Simply Better for You.

Luxury Dry Cleaning, Simply Green, Simply Better For You

Luxury dry cleaning in New York City just got a whole lot cleaner. Jeeves of Belgravia, New York is the ONLY luxury garment care firm in NYC cleaning exclusively in liquid CO2.

Why have we done this? Your man Jeeves has wanted to get away from using petrochemicals     (a cause of groundwater contamination throughout the country) for months now, and has finally found a solution. Perchloroethylene (perc) the most common dry cleaning chemical is also listed as a probable carcinogen by the EPA.  By Jeeves removing perc from his dry cleaning process he is hopeful that other dry cleaners will follow suit.

So called organic dry cleaning uses a chemical solvent made by Exxon-Mobile that is “organic” just like gasoline is organic.

Until now, there was not a suitable alternative that met the Jeeves standard.

Jeeves has invested in a hybrid CO2 dry cleaning system that cleans better than traditional dry cleaning. Jeeves’ process using CO2 is called Eco2 Cleanse.

Beverage grade CO2 is used in the Eco2 Cleanse process, the same gas that puts the fizz in your soda. New CO2 is not created for our cleaning process. In fact, all of the CO2 that we use is recaptured from manufacturing.

No other luxury garment care firm in New York City has CO2 dry cleaning. Yes, your man Jeeves is the only one.

Jeeves wants you to have dry cleaning which is; Simply Green, Simply Clean and Simply Better for You.

If you want to learn more about CO2 dry cleaning, here is more information.

CO2 Dry Cleaning Comes to Jeeves New York

Soon harsh petrochemicals will be gone from the dry cleaning process used by your man Jeeves, replaced with new technology that uses the same substance that puts the “fizz” in your drink.

The process? Eco2 Cleanse.

The benefits? Replacing petrochemicals with liquid carbon dioxide has many, the most important is that dry cleaning becomes “truly” green.

Other benefits are:

• Better cleaning, white clothing never yellows or gets gray.
• No odor, you don’t have to “air out” your clothes before wearing.
• Gentle process, your clothes “float” in liquid CO2, they don’t tumble for 45 minutes.
• No heat, your clothes are not subjected to hot temperatures which set stains and break down fibers.

Your man Jeeves has been searching for a better way to dry clean clothes for years. This is the first major technological advancement that has been introduced in garment care since dry cleaning was invented over 100 years ago.

The New York branch of Jeeves will be the first “Jeeves” in the world to clean using the Eco2 Cleanse process and Jeeves will also be the only luxury garment care firm in New York City to clean in CO2.

Organic Dry Cleaners in New York Should be Truthful

In an article in the San Francisco Chronicle on September 19th, dry cleaners who claim to be
“green” or “environmentally” friendly may be using a solvent which could harm you or the environment. The city’s Department of the Environment is looking to eliminate the chemicals used by dry cleaners.

The same department is working with the city attorney’s office to draft a “truth in advertising” law to prohibit dry cleaners from claiming to be green if they are not.

This is something greatly needed in New York as many dry cleaning firms are advertising that they are “organic” and the truth is they are not.

Organic dry cleaning is a “wolf in sheep’s clothing” as these dry cleaners are using ExxonMobile’s DF2000 which is chemically organic, just like gasoline is chemically organic.

The only methods sanctioned by the EPA as non-toxic alternatives to traditional dry cleaning are; wet cleaning (which uses water) and CO2 dry cleaning.

Jeeves has always used wet cleaning for those garments which can be safely cleaned using this process. Of the garments which come into Jeeves for cleaning, only 30% can be safely cleaned using this method.

In about one month Jeeves is installing CO2 dry cleaning technology. This will make Jeeves the only luxury garment care firm in New York to not use toxic chemicals to dry clean clothing. In fact Jeeves will have the only operational CO2 dry cleaning machine in the State of New York.

The Jeeves CO2 process, Eco2 Cleanse, uses beverage quality carbon dioxide, the same stuff that adds the fizz to your soda, in place of petrochemicals. The technology is manufactured by Solvair.

The installation of our Solvair equipment will also make us the first Jeeves location in the world to clean in CO2.

The Eco2 Cleanse process is superior to traditional dry cleaning methods as it;

• Cleans better than traditional dry cleaning.
• Is truly “green”, no harmful petrochemicals are used.
• It gentle, clothes are subject to less “wear and tear” during the cleaning process.
• Does not allow stains to set. Eco2 Cleanse is unique, heat is not used at all so stains will not set.

Jeeves of Belgravia, New York is proud to be the first luxury dry cleaner in New York to be 100% petrochemical free.
