I come from a family where we owned and operated a few dry cleaners in the Valley. Not only that we used to service equipment and sell them to other cleaners. I know the work that goes into the operations and cost of a cleaners. There are high labor costs. We all take our clothes there to do what we are too lazy to do, so why not pay that extra amount to get it done nicely. Also if we are to be so "Green" why not stop buying dry clean only goods as consumers? Our superficial society loves the good things but with out the costs.
I say as the laws change and processes change and become more cost effective the organic cleaning process will change as well. This place is going to be the most green dry cleaners you can get right now. There are so many strict guidelines that have to be followed by such a business to keep these chemicals out of the environment I am glad to pay the extra amount to help that they do it right and not cut corners to save costs like some of the low cost mom and pop shops in town.
My family now owns a Organic type cleaners in California where it is mandatory for all cleaners to operate with organic machines. If California see's that it's enough to make it a law for now I say let's stop bashing on the guys who are the only organic or cleaner dry cleaners in town and try to convert the others who aren't.
I take my cleaning here and have had no problems, I have been greeted by friendly faces and even though I haven't been going there long they always seems to remember my name. Not sure if this Thomas location in Phoenix is the same owner as the one up by Desert Ridge but they are both great!
