Dependable Cleaners is spotlighting its long-standing commitment to eco-friendly garment care in response to the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ban on perchloroethylene (Perc) — a traditional dry cleaning solvent linked to environmental and health concerns.

Dependable Cleaners transitioned away from Perc more than 20 years ago, adopting the GreenEarth Cleaning System, which uses a non-toxic silicone-based solvent derived from natural sand. “By embracing innovative technologies like using GreenEarth Cleaning solutions, we not only provide exceptional garment care but also lead the industry in environmental responsibility,” said Christa Hagearty, CEO of Dependable Cleaners.

With over 80 years of service and multiple locations, Dependable Cleaners continues to prioritize sustainability while maintaining industry-leading garment care standards. From reducing environmental impact to enhancing customer trust, their leadership reinforces the business value of eco-conscious practices.

As more regulators and consumers push for greener solutions, this transition by a long-established cleaner underscores the growing importance of safe, sustainable alternatives in the dry cleaning industry.
