We're ECO-FRIENDLY
THE GREEN Difference
Tavit’s Cleaners is the only cleaner in the area that uses 100% Wet Cleaning. Wet Cleaning is a non-toxic, energy-efficient, water-based cleaning technology. This process is very different from laundry. It is safe and effective on silk, cashmere and other “dry clean only” fabrics. Using this process, we gently wash your clothes with biodegradable chemicals and water. We take special care with the garments entrusted to us. Each item takes one and a half times longer to process, compared with ordinary dry cleaning. We dry and press the items, to prevent them from being shrunk or reshaped. Unlike PERC dry cleaning, Wet Cleaning uses no hazardous chemicals. It is safe for the environment and for your body—even for children. And it leaves no harmful contaminants in the water or air, so you can breathe easy. In fact, Wet Cleaning is the only dry cleaning process recommended by the EPA.
