"Over the years, we have made a conscious effort to seek out more sustainable practices in how we do laundry and the types of cleaners we use on a daily basis." Brown says that cleaners and laundry are just a small portion of the ongoing efforts made by The Lodge, which is dedicated to preserving the environment for generations of guests to come.
