A safe clean
If you’re worried about chemicals used at most dry cleaners, the
Newport Coast Shopping Center has recently added Newport Ridge
Cleaners that uses the GreenEarth Cleaning System. Owner Edmond
Hacatoryan, says that the new cleaning process doesn’t have the
common chemical smell. “Garments come out feeling smooth and silky,”
said Hacatoryan. “And the process produces less lint and wrinkling
than other dry-cleaning methods. I also like the fact it’s safe for
the environment.”
A brochure from the Newport Ridge Cleaners says, “Studies
conducted by environmental regulatory agencies and independent,
impartial testing laboratories concluded that the GreenEarth Cleaning
System meets or exceeds the regulatory requirements of the
Environmental Protection Agency, Occupational Safety and Health
Administration, and even the most demanding state environmental
regulatory agencies.” Newport Ridge Cleaners is at 21141 Newport
Coast Drive in Newport Beach. Information: (949) 718-3526.
