Dry Cleaning Station
Business
9530 N. 129th East Ave., No. 102, in Waterford Plaza
Owasso OK
Dry Cleaning Station is one of several dry cleaning firms affiliated with GreenEarth Cleaning, a Kansas City, Mo.-based company founded in 1998 after three dry cleaning pros entered into a business partnership with the solvent inventors. The solvent's selling points are its gentle impact on clothing and its wide-ranging cleaning abilities, including use on pesky buttons, beading and even leather. It leaves materials soft, without any odor and with less wrinkling and stiffness.
Dye's Mattress Company
Business
1709 NW 16th
OKC OK
Phn: 601-3635
Dye's Mattress Company offers custom built, new, and reconditioned box springs and mattresses. Harold Dye priced a full size set of reconditioned
box springs and mattress at $99, and said he would buy the old mattress from me for $5 if it was reconditionable (I later found out that it was a
Simmons Beautyrest mattress, which alas isn't recyclable, he said "they are designed so they CAN'T be rebuilt," which is a good reason it seems to me to NOT buy a new Simmons mattress).
He says very little of what comes in his shop ends up in a landfill. They do all the work there in the back of their shop, and you can choose the
firmness/softness you want for the mattress. Reconditioning involves removing the old mattress cover, doing any necessary repairs, adding
padding if necessary, sanitizing the old padding, and adding a new mattress cover.
So if you are shopping for a mattress, consider supporting an important recycling business and purchase a reconditioned mattress, contact Harold and Jennifer Dye, Plaza Shopping District (NW 16th between Indiana and Blackwelder). If you have a mattress to get rid of, before you put it out for big trash day, talk with Harold and see if it can be reconditioned.
