The Environment
Watkins Cleaners is an environmentally concerned Textile Cleaner. We are a "Certified Environmental Drycleaner" that uses textile cleaning machinery manufactured in Germany that is made to meet German environmental standards and regulations. Unlike most cleaners that use perchloroethylene, we use a "Hydrocarbon" solvent which is a non-toxic solvent that is extremely gentle on delicate fabrics, beadwork, sequins, and leather trim. The Sierra Club has listed Watkins Cleaners as an "Environmentally Safe Drycleaner."
