As a way to thank first responders for their efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic, Tide "Loads of Hope," an offering from Tide Cleaners, will provide free laundry services to medical personnel, police officers and firefighters at all Tide Cleaners locations in the Sarasota area. First responders and their immediate families can locate a Tide Cleaners location and get their clothes washed for free beginning April 9. To take advantage of the program, those interested can click here to get started. Tide Cleaners also notes that, due to the pandemic, it has increased the frequency of cleaning in its stores, as well as the frequency at which employees wash their hands. Employees also use rubber gloves to handle garments.
