For years, Boca and Delray had a reputation for exceptional garment care. There were plenty of cleaners that understood fabric behavior, stain chemistry, couture finishing, leather and suede. The kind of places where experience mattered and clothing was treated like an investment. Over time, most of those operations quietly disappeared. Chains expanded. Outsourcing became the norm. And the kind of quality people relied on became harder to find.
Presstine exists because that gap finally became too big to ignore.
Where True Specialty Cleaning Went – And Why It Matters
Specialty garment care is built on genuine skill, not shortcuts. When dry cleaners outsource, they lose control of the essentials: stain treatment windows, moisture levels, cleaning cycles, finishing quality, and the hands-on process that fabrics like silk, wool, cashmere, and embellished garments demand. Boca’s remaining cleaners leaned heavily on volume processing and generic solvents because it kept overhead low.
The result? Diminished results, harsher chemistry, and customers who stopped expecting their clothes to come back looking the way they should.
The founder here Steve Jennings watched this shift happen firsthand. After more than 55 years working in high-end cleaning – from running luxury specialty plants to training garment care teams statewide – he knew exactly what was missing. Boca didn’t need another “modern dry cleaner.” It needed someone who still knew how to clean clothes the right way.
Rebuilding a Cleaner Around Quality and Control
When Steve purchased Addison & Kristi Cleaners in 2022, he didn’t just buy a store. He built an in-house operation from the ground up – equipment, chemistry, cleaning systems, water control, finishing processes, everything. Nothing is sent across town or pushed through a large industrial plant. Every garment stays in one place, under one experienced team, with complete oversight from intake to final inspection.
This is how couture cleaning protects delicate fabrics. It’s how advanced wet cleaning delivers safer, eco-forward results. It’s how stain chemistry is applied correctly instead of rushed. And it’s how garments come back feeling soft, clean, and finished the way luxury fabrics are meant to look.
Most cleaners can’t create this level of consistency because they’re not set up for it. Presstine is.
Eco-Forward, High-Performance Cleaning – Not Marketing Hype
“Eco-friendly” gets thrown around a lot in the garment care world. In reality, true eco-forward cleaning requires investments most cleaners avoid: high-performance wet cleaning systems, precise detergents, finishing equipment that protects fibers without high heat, and chemistry that’s safer for the environment and for sensitive skin.
These aren’t trends. They’re advancements in textile science that produce better results than solvent-heavy systems ever did.
Presstine uses modern wet cleaning as the core of its process because it does three things exceptionally well:
- Protects delicate fibers from unnecessary stress
- Removes a broader range of soils and odors
- Leaves garments cleaner, softer, and longer lasting
It’s better for the garment, better for the customer, and better for the planet – which is exactly why Steve rebuilt the entire plant around it.
Why Bringing This Level of Care Back to Boca Matters
Boca and Delray have wardrobes that demand more than basic dry cleaning – designer dresses, suiting, linens, specialty fabrics, seasonal wear, couture pieces, and garments where the finishing matters just as much as the cleaning. Customers here take care of their clothing because their clothing is worth taking care of.
A high-end market needs high-end garment care. For the first time in years, it’s available again.
Presstine didn’t reopen just to fill a retail space. It reopened to bring real craftsmanship, chemistry-driven cleaning, and eco-forward systems back to a community that genuinely benefits from it.
The Standard We Hold Ourselves To
Every garment is cleaned by a team trained directly by Steve, using the same methods he used at the peak of South Florida’s specialty cleaning industry. It’s why couture pieces travel well, why suedes and specialty fabrics get the attention they require, and why we confidently stand behind every item that moves through our plant.
We’re not trying to be the biggest cleaner in Boca Raton, FL. Just the one that still takes the work seriously.
