Tide Cleaners (4511 98th Street & 4404 19th Street B in Lubbock) has launched an incredible free service for front-line responders, which is wonderful in more ways than one.

This includes "paramedics, doctors, nurses, hospital and medical staff, medical researchers, police officers, fire fighters," as well as the "immediate family defined as next of kin (e.g. share same household / address)."

Not only will it save our tireless heroes from the chore of laundry, but it will also ensure that their clothes are hygienic for everyone's safety. You can visit their website for more information.

Here are the details from Tide Cleaners:

—  Tide Cleaners will provide free laundry services to medical personnel, police officers and firefighters at all Tide Cleaners locations in the Lubbock area. Tide Cleaners businesses are locally owned and operated in the Lubbock community. In an uncertain time, Tide Cleaners hopes to provide the certainty of clean clothes to the community in an effort to help those that help us.

Lubbock medical personnel, police officers, firefighters and their immediate family can locate a nearby Tide Cleaners and get their personal clothes washed for free beginning today. Storefronts can wash items like jeans, shorts and tee-shirts as well as socks and undergarments. Tide Cleaners believes in the importance of life over laundry. With front-line responders focused on saving lives and providing much-needed care for those in our community, that is more true now than ever before.

The process is easy for Lubbock-area front-line responders and their immediate family members: ● Visit Hope.TideCleaners.com to find out more about the service and find the nearest Tide Cleaners.

Verify that you are a front-line responder with badges or a valid form of identification. Must have a photo ID or picture of it if you’re a family member who is bringing it on their behalf.

● Our stores continue to have high standards for hygiene and sanitation. We have increased the frequency of cleaning our stores, countertops and other surfaces as precautionary measures. We’ve increased the frequency of employees washing their hands with soap and water and drying their hands with paper towels. Additionally, we use rubber gloves to handle garments. We are continuing to follow guidelines and recommendations set in place by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) for all Tide Cleaners locations and we will continue to update our proactive response plan accordingly.

● At Tide Cleaners, we are committed to using an extensive cleaning process for all garments to ensure an effective and professional clean. Our dry-cleaning process involves high temperatures and uses environmentally friendly technology. We have scientists working around the clock to ensure our guests receive a thorough clean on all garments that are brought to Tide Cleaners.
