Pittsburgh Goes Eco-Friendly With New Dry Cleaners

Think how many times you have taken something to the dry cleaners. Have you ever thought about all the chemicals they are putting on your clothes?

In a trend that is sweeping the country, there is now earth-friendly dry cleaning, and it's officially arrived in Pittsburgh.

It's been 18 months since the five Dry Cleaning Station stores opened in our region but they already have diehard customers who refuse to go anywhere else.

Frank Fusca owns two franchise locations and the plant, which cleans all the clothes for the local stores.

"It's eco-friendly for your clothes," said Fusca. "Your clothes come out brighter, odorless."

Where normal dry cleaning uses a petroleum-based solution, Fusca uses Green Earth, a silicone.

The solution is not only better for the planet, it's gentler on your clothes.

He only uses earth-friendly starch, an eco-wash solution, and the leftover water is sent through a filtration system.
