25 years of PERC-free service, family ownership, and garment care that Palm Beach County families rely on.
The founders of Puritan Dry Cleaners made a decision early on that defined the entire business: they would not use PERC. The reasoning was practical. Perchloroethylene is a known health risk and a documented groundwater contaminant. A business that wanted long-term trust from its community could not build on that foundation.
The alternative they chose was an organic solvent derived from silicone, one that cleans as effectively as PERC for most garment types while breaking down into water, silica, and carbon dioxide. No residue on fabric. No contamination risk. No compromise on cleaning results.
Twenty-five years later, that same solvent is still the basis of every cleaning order. The business has not expanded into multiple locations or franchise arrangements. It has stayed focused on doing one thing extremely well from a single location in Tequesta, with the same team, the same standards, and the same commitment to quality.
The Green Cleaners Council certification and America's Best Cleaners recognition arrived because the practice was already there. The 4.7-star Google rating reflects more than 350 customers saying the same thing: Puritan delivers what it promises.
Not what we say about ourselves. What 25 years of customer feedback consistently reflects.
Puritan's PERC-free status is verifiable and long-standing. Our Green Cleaners Council certification independently confirms the environmental standards we apply across solvents, energy, water, and waste.
Free, reliable, and available across a 20-mile radius. Customers consistently note that pickup happens on time and delivery is accurate. The Drop Spot option removes the need to be present.
Everything happens at 150 US-1 in Tequesta. Cleaning, alterations, finishing. No garment leaves our hands until it is ready to be returned to yours.
Customer reviews consistently call out the quality of our tailoring team. Alterations are done right, fits are correct, and minor repairs are handled without being asked or charged for.
Designer pieces and bridal gowns receive individual pre-cleaning assessment. We do not apply a generic process to garments that require specific knowledge to clean properly.
Certification covers the full spectrum of our environmental practices. Not a self-declaration but an external audit of solvents, energy consumption, water use, employee training, and recycling programs.
We cleaned without PERC before it was a selling point. We started offering free pickup and delivery before it was a competitive expectation. We evaluated garments individually before the industry started calling it premium service. These practices came from values, not from market positioning.
That distinction matters because values hold when circumstances change. Market trends shift, competitors adjust their offerings, and customer expectations evolve. The things we do because we believe in them stay consistent across all of it.
After 25 years, the customers who have stayed with us the longest are the ones who recognized that consistency early on. A dry cleaner that does things right because it is the right way to do them is more reliable than one that does things right because it is currently profitable. We are the former.
