Acosta's Dry Cleaners Valet Service

Go Green

Going green means more than you and other cleaners think.

Many cleaners have jump on the bandwagon and calling themselves “Organic Green Cleaners” when in fact it’s an advertising hype. The fact is that there is no government sanctioned definition of ‘organic’ or ‘green’ dry cleaning. They are misleading consumers by implying that they are chemical free. 

EPA’S design for the environment programs favors professional wet cleaning. The process uses water, soaps, surfactants, sizing and other additives that are eco-friendly design for high efficiency cleaning in a professional manner. We also use perchlorethylene a (aka ‘organic’) cleaning, Certified by New York State of Environmental Conservation as an “Environmental Dry Cleaner”. By incorporating both methods, we are acting responsible with our employees, customers and the environment.         

We run every aspect of our business with preserving the environment in mind. Acosta’s uses the most up to date, safe and environmentally friendly cleaning methods available in our state of the art Facilities. We are a proud to be recognized by the Green Cleaners Council.
