Eco-Friendly Dry Cleaning in Los Angeles
Sterling Fine Cleaning has been a pioneer in eco-friendly dry cleaning in Los Angeles for over 30 years. While traditional dry cleaners rely on PERC (perchloroethylene) — a harsh petroleum-based solvent linked to health and environmental concerns — Sterling uses liquid silicone, a biodegradable, non-toxic cleaning process that is gentler on your garments and on the planet.
What Makes Liquid Silicone Dry Cleaning Different?
Liquid silicone (also known as GreenEarth cleaning) is a clear, odorless solvent derived from sand. It penetrates fabric fibers gently, lifting soil and stains without breaking down or shrinking delicate materials. Unlike PERC, liquid silicone leaves no toxic residue on your clothes, evaporates cleanly, and is safe for sensitive skin. It is the preferred cleaning method for silk, cashmere, wool, beaded garments, and wedding gowns.
Better for Your Clothes
Eco-friendly cleaning is not just better for the environment — it produces superior results. Liquid silicone preserves fabric color, texture, and structure more effectively than traditional solvents. Colors stay vibrant, fabrics stay soft, and delicate embellishments like beading, sequins, and embroidery remain intact. Over time, your garments last longer and look better with eco-friendly care.
Better for Los Angeles
Traditional dry cleaning solvents like PERC are classified as hazardous air pollutants by the EPA and can contaminate soil and groundwater. By choosing Sterling Fine Cleaning, Los Angeles residents make a choice that is better for their neighborhood, their air quality, and the health of their community. Sterling's liquid silicone process is environmentally responsible at every step — from cleaning to disposal.
