What Is Green Dry Cleaning and Why Does It Matter?

Dry cleaning has long been associated with chemical solvents like perchloroethylene (“perc”), a substance that’s tough on stains but also harsh on the environment — and on people. At Ardsley Park Cleaners, we’ve embraced green dry cleaning to provide the same professional results without compromising health or sustainability.

What Is Green Dry Cleaning?

Green dry cleaning uses alternative cleaning methods and biodegradable solvents that are non-toxic, odorless, and gentler on fabrics. Techniques may include:

• Wet cleaning: A water-based system using mild detergents and sophisticated computer-controlled machines.
• Liquid CO₂ cleaning: Pressurized carbon dioxide is used as a solvent.
• Silicone-based solvents: Like GreenEarth®, made from sand and safe for the environment.
