Dependable Cleaners

About

Dependable Cleaners is a family-owned dry cleaning company that has cared for Boston-area wardrobes for more than 80 years, with a location in South Quincy among its shops on the South Shore. Services include everyday dry cleaning and laundry, tailoring and alterations, and Style by Dependable, a premium garment care service for couture and delicate pieces. The company has been perc-free for more than 20 years, cleaning with the GreenEarth system along with Eco-Solv, wet cleaning and hand cleaning.

Environmental practice is central to how the business operates. Its GreenEarth solvent is non-allergenic and breaks down into sand, water and carbon dioxide, and the company uses energy-efficient equipment, LED lighting and high-efficiency steam traps, along with machines that recycle cleaning solutions. Customers get hanger recycling carriers to return hangers and plastic garment bags. The company’s energy work earned it the Mayor of Boston’s Greenovate Award.
