Dry cleaning held to the highest standard
This isn’t just about a “high-quality clean”, it’s about one that is safer for your skin, our planet, and your clothes.
The Presstine Vision
To make professional dry cleaning safer, smarter, and more sustainable, for people, fabrics, and the planet.
What It Means For you
Healthier clothes, cleaner air, and peace of mind knowing every order is handled with care and without compromise.
Understanding PERC and Why We Don’t Use It
Most dry cleaners still rely on perchloroethylene, or PERC, a solvent that’s been the industry standard for decades. While it can lift stains effectively, it comes with serious trade-offs to health, safety, and the environment. The National Academy of Sciences has identified it as a probable carcinogen, and federal regulators classify it as hazardous waste.
Why we avoid PERC:
- Causes dizziness, headaches, skin irritation
- Long-term risks to memory and mood
- Pollutes soil and groundwater
- Leaves clothes with a chemical odor

Comparing traditional dry cleaning to our Process
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, when the method is chosen correctly. Enzyme and oxygen-based pre-treatments plus controlled cycles in wet cleaning or modern non-perc solvents remove most water- and oil-based soils while protecting color and hand. Complex stains may require multiple steps, but eco methods are not a downgrade.
Our processes avoid perc, which is linked to neurological and organ effects with chronic exposure, and we can clean with fragrance-free detergents that meet stricter ingredient criteria. Ask for “fragrance-free” at drop-off.
Yes. “Dry clean only” allows for professional processes that achieve the same protection outcomes. Many “dry clean only” pieces are excellent candidates for professional wet cleaning or modern non-perc solvents when handled by trained technicians.
No. Properly run eco systems leave a neutral finish. Any residual odor is a sign of mis-processing, not the method itself. Closed-loop machines and thorough rinsing prevent lingering solvent smells.
Yes. Water-based cycles with pH-balanced detergents are ideal for most bedding and table linens. They remove body oils and allergens more completely than traditional perc, then we air-dry or low-tumble and hand finish for loft and crispness.
Point out stains and what caused them, mention any past cleaning or at-home spotters, and flag sensitive areas like glued trims. More context lets us choose the safest, most effective eco method on the first pass.
