Environmentally Friendly Dry Cleaning
When we say that American Dry-Cleaning Company is a green dry cleaning service, not everyone understands what we mean. When you bring us your dry clean-only garments or other household fabrics for dry cleaning, it simply means that we only use cleaning solutions that are safe for the environment.
You’ve probably taken a few items to the dry cleaner over the years, but traditional dry cleaning has its drawbacks.
Perchloroethylene, or perc for short, is the primary cleaning solvent used in conventional dry-cleaning businesses. Disposal of this cleaning solvent should be handled as hazardous waste due to its severe danger to the ecosystem.
The chemical may be hazardous to the health of the people using it, as well as to the health of plants and groundwater. That’s why the founders of American Dry-Cleaning Company prioritised green cleaning products from the start.
A greener alternative to consider.

To further our commitment to innovation, we only employ state-of-the-art, environmentally friendly cleaning equipment and machinery.
Both our wet and dry-cleaning processes use specialized equipment and much less environmentally friendly cleaning detergent than conventional dry cleaning methods, allowing us to safely clean your clothes while consuming much less water and energy.
Concern for your unique care attire
There are some garments, like those with sequins or other delicate embellishments, that should only be cleaned by a professional dry cleaner.
Ordinary washing machines, and the harsh chemicals used in conventional dry cleaning, can ruin embellished items like lace, velvet, silk, pearls, crystals, and buttons made from natural materials like wood and mother of pearl.
One type of garment that requires specialized dry cleaning after a single use is the wedding dress.
Dresses worn for a wedding only get worn once, but in that one day they can be covered in everything from makeup smudges and tears from constant embracing to grass and soil stains from the hem getting trodden on during dancing or walking on grass.
There is a risk that spills of white wine or champagne, as well as greasy fingerprints, will stain your dress if you don’t take the proper precautions to remove them. With our environmentally friendly dry-cleaning options, we can safely remove all of these unseen stains without causing any harm to the delicate embellishments on your gown.
Contact your local American Dry Cleaning Company location if you have an item of clothing that requires special care and you would like it dry cleaned using environmentally friendly products.
