  • 1. What Is the ERP Compliance Certification?
    Charles D. Baker Matthew A. Beaton Governor Secretary Karyn E. Polito Martin Suuberg Lieutenant Governor Commissioner 1. What is the ERP Compliance Certification? Commercial dry cleaners who use perchloroethylene (perc) are required to certify to the Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) that they are complying with the environmental protection requirements that apply to their business on or before September 15. These instructions are intended to help you complete and submit the on- line ERP Certification. These instructions and the separate Workbook have been designed to enable you to fill out the ERP Certification by yourself. DEP strongly advises you to review this material well in advance of the September 15 deadline. While many facilities have all of the equipment they need to comply with environmental standards and are operating in compliance with the requirements, some businesses may need to take additional steps to comply. The on-line ERP certification includes the following: Annual ERP Compliance Certification: This form has seven sections: Facility Information - identifies the facility, mailing address and a contact person. Change in Status – (This replaces the ERP Non-Applicability statement on previous certification packages). If you do not operate a dry cleaning machine on-site, use a perc alternative, or use only coin-operated dry cleaning machines, check the appropriate box and skip to the Comment Section. Compliance Questions - A series of mostly “yes” or “no” questions about whether or not your facility is following the applicable environmental requirements. Comments Section Non-Perc Machine Information – Required questions on your non-perc professional cleaning machines. Useful Pollution Prevention Information – Optional questions and information on reducing perc use and learning about perc alternatives.

  • Download Our Stain Removal Guide (PDF)
    Recommendations on stain removal Svensson’s recommendations concerning stain removal should only be regarded as guidelines. There is no guarantee that the stain will disappear entirely. If there is the slightest doubt, we advise you to seek professional help. If something is spilled on the upholstery fabric, it is best to remove the stain as quickly as possible. Most stains disappear if they are treated immediately and not allowed to dry. Superficial stains are quickly removed if they are immediately wiped off with a damp sponge or cloth. Stains that have dried into the fabric should only be removed according to the instructions below. Dry with white cloth First, wipe up all surplus liquid and semi-attached particles with a white absorbent serviette or cloth. Never use a coloured serviette as the colour may transfer onto the fabric! Scrape up attached particles with a spoon or knife blade - work from the edges of the stain and inwards to prevent spreading. Dab with a damp sponge If the stain is small, it will suffice to dab it with a damp sponge. Be careful that the sponge is not too wet because the fabric need only be dampened. To avoid a ring forming after the stain, it is important to start from the outside and work inwards. Never rub to try to remove a stain. Avoid cleaning agents on treated fabric If the fabric has been treated to provide a water- and dust-repellent surface, no cleaning agent should be used when removing stains except warm water. Cleaning agents and/or excessive mechanical abrasion can degrade the repellent effect.
