A family-run dry cleaner with a 25-year record of PERC-free garment care in Tequesta, FL.
When the founders of Puritan Dry Cleaners opened their Tequesta location over 25 years ago, the goal was straightforward: provide genuinely good dry cleaning to a community that deserved better than the industry standard. That meant honest pricing, careful handling, and cleaning methods that did not leave residue on garments or pollutants in the local environment.
The PERC decision was central to that vision. Perchloroethylene was everywhere in dry cleaning, but its risks, to workers, to customers, to the water table, made it incompatible with what Puritan was trying to build. They transitioned to an organic, silica-based solvent that breaks down into water and carbon dioxide, and they never looked back.
Today the business is still family-owned, still operating from the same 150 US-1 location in the Tequesta Fashion Mall, and still doing every piece of work on premises. The people who clean your suit and the seamstress who adjusts your hem are right there, not at a remote facility across town.
The 4.7-star Google rating and recognition among America's Best Cleaners reflect something that cannot be manufactured: a long-term reputation built through consistent results across thousands of orders, year after year.
Six things that set us apart from every other dry cleaner in Palm Beach County.
Puritan was among the first dry cleaners in Palm Beach County to eliminate PERC entirely. That commitment preceded public awareness of PERC's risks and has never wavered.
Pickup and delivery is free across a 20-mile radius, with a Drop Spot option for customers who will not be home. No scheduling friction, no surprise fees.
Every item is cleaned, pressed, and repaired on-site. There is no middle location, no handoff to a third party. Your garments stay in the hands of our trained team throughout.
Our in-house seamstresses, including Donna who is praised by name in customer reviews, handle alterations and repairs with the kind of precision that turns a good fit into a perfect one.
Wedding gowns and designer pieces receive individualized pre-cleaning evaluation. We do not apply a standard process to exceptional garments.
Green Cleaners Council certification means our eco standards are externally verified, covering solvents, recycling, energy use, and staff training.
There is no secret to what Puritan does. Evaluate each garment carefully. Use cleaning methods that respect the fabric and the environment. Do the alterations well. Show up for pickup on time. Return clothes in better shape than they arrived.
What makes this unusual is not the approach itself but the discipline to maintain it across 25 years of daily orders. The dry cleaning industry is not known for consistency. Puritan has made it the entire point.
Customers who have been with us for 15 or 20 years are not loyal because of a rewards program. They return because the experience never disappoints. That track record is what we protect above everything else.
