GreenEarth + eco-friendly
Why our cleaning matters
GreenEarth certified
We use silicone-based GreenEarth cleaning fluid. Replaces PERC (perchloroethylene), the harsh chemical most dry cleaners use. Verified by greenearthcleaning.com certification.
Why it matters for clothes
PERC is harsh on fabrics; over time, it weakens fibers + fades colors. GreenEarth is gentler; clothes last longer + colors stay truer. Especially noticeable on dark suits + delicate fabrics.
Why it matters for environment
PERC is a known carcinogen + groundwater contaminant. GreenEarth silicone is non-toxic + biodegradable. EPA + EU + California all moving to phase out PERC; we’ve been ahead of this for 15 years.
Why it matters for our employees
Our cleaning team isn’t exposed to PERC fumes. Better work environment, lower health risks. Industry-leading in employee safety.
Cost difference?
Slightly higher operating cost for GreenEarth, but we don’t pass it on. Our prices are competitive with PERC-using cleaners. The right choice + a competitive price.
Other eco practices
Reusable garment bags (vs. plastic) on request. Energy-efficient pressing equipment. Recycled hangers program. Composting cleaning agents waste. Continuous improvement.

Service questions
What customers ask
