Business Description:

At Robbinsville Cleaners, we are committed to superior service with personal attention to all your cleaning needs. As a family owned business, we understand the importance of providing clean clothes for you and your family. In addition to our Robbinsville location, we currently have another business located in Bordentown, New Jersey, which we have owned since 2006. Not only do we strive to satisfy all of our customer’s needs, but we also believe in contributing to the environment. Since 2007, we have used wet cleaning to replace traditional dry cleaning, which uses harsh chemicals and may leave a “dry cleaning” smell or residue. All wet cleaning solvents are eco-friendly and represent the safest way to effectively clean your clothes. In addition, we also use biodegradable, reusable nylon bags, and recycle all hangers, plastics, and tissues.

Description of Action:

Robbinsville Cleaners uses professional wet cleaning which is water based cleaning system for the care of dry clean only clothing. Robbinsville Cleaner uses a safer choice detergent “ECOS Plus”. This wet cleaning system eliminates the use of harmful chemical agents that have traditionally been used to clean clothing. By being a 100% wet clean facility we have eliminated the use perchroloethyelne or PERC which is a known carcinogen. Our store cleans up to 3000lbs of clothes per week.
