MEET GreenEarth®
What is GreenEarth® Cleaning?
Traditional dry cleaners rely on a chemical solvent called Perchloroethylene (commonly known as PERC), which is classified as a known health hazard and environmental pollutant. GreenEarth technology replaces these harsh petrochemicals with a completely pure, liquid silicone solvent (D5).
Liquid silicone is essentially liquefied sand (silica). It is the same safe, natural base ingredient used in everyday consumer products like shampoos, shaving creams, and lotion. When released back into the environment, it breaks down naturally into its three organic components: water, carbon dioxide, and silica.

Why GreenEarth® is Better for Your Wardrobe
01
Incredible Gentleness on Fabrics
Because liquid silicone is chemically inert, it does not interact with textile fibers or fabric dyes during the cleaning cycle. This prevents the bleeding of colors, eliminates shrinkage, and protects delicate trims, beads, sequins, and lace. Your finest garments—from custom business suits to couture wedding gowns—maintain their original texture, shape, and vibrant color.
02
Odor-Free & Hypoallergenic Care
Have you ever noticed a strong, chemical smell when picking up clothes from a traditional dry cleaner? That is residual PERC gas. GreenEarth is completely odorless. Because it contains zero petroleum-based toxins, it is non-irritating to sensitive skin, making it safe for infants, allergy sufferers, and anyone concerned about chemical exposure.
03
No Accelerated Wear and Tear
Traditional solvents physically swell and degrade fabric fibers as they clean, causing premature aging, thinning, and fuzzing of fine wools and silks. GreenEarth lubricates fibers smoothly, sliding away dirt and oils without friction. Clothes retain their original look and “like-new” feel significantly longer.
Our Process
Our Comprehensive Eco-Friendly Process
We combine the sustainable chemistry of GreenEarth with state-of-the-art multi-stage inspection to guarantee a perfect clean.
Step 1: Detailed Inspection & Pre-Spotting
Our master cleaners examine each garment under high-intensity lighting, identifying specific stains to treat them using biodegradable, fabric-safe agents before the main cleaning cycle.
Step 2: Liquid Silicone Eco-Wash
Garments are cleaned in specialized, closed-loop machinery that safely circulates the pure silicone solvent, lifting away body oils, grime, and environmental soot.
Step 3: Continuous Purification
During the cleaning process, our equipment constantly filters and cleans the solvent, ensuring your clothes are only exposed to pristine, clear silicone liquid.
Step 4: Professional Pressing & Finishing
Our finishing team uses premium tensioning equipment and hand-pressing techniques to deliver crisp edges, smooth lines, and flawless garments and household items.
