Traditional dry cleaning relies on perchloroethylene (perc) - a toxic chemical classified by the EPA as a "likely human carcinogen" that contaminates groundwater and persists in ecosystems for decades. In Berkshire alone, over 12,000 liters of solvent waste enter watersheds annually from conventional cleaners.
Our Founding Moment
Eco Dry Cleaners was born in 2018 when founder Sarah Kensington discovered her child's asthma symptoms worsened near their local dry cleaner. After researching alternatives, she pioneered Berkshire's first 100% organic wet cleaning facility, proving luxury garment care could exist without ecological harm.
