Most dry cleaners today clean using petrochemical solvents. About 70% use perchloroethylene (perc), classified by the EPA as an air and water toxin and a likely human carcinogen. Dry cleaners follow strict regulations to reduce emissions and control its health and environmental risks, but there is no getting around the truth - perc poses a real danger to people and the planet.

Very helpful staff. They go above and beyond what is required to help the customer. Also a green cleaner so not only is it safe for the environment and for thier employees, harmful chemicals won't be soaking into your skin via your clothing. Knowledgeable staff and good environment. I would recommend Shafers to anyone.

I dropped off a pair of pants for dry cleaning in Feb. 2018 and when I picked them up they had front and back glue-like stains that were not there when I dropped them off (having worked at a dry cleaners in the past, I know to always check my clothing and pockets in front of the clerks and highlight any stains so they can be treated, or at least so I know the condition of my clothing prior to service). I returned the pants for a "re-do" on 2/21/18 and I told the manager Phyllis I would be back to get them when I returned to town in mid-March. I went to Shaffer today, for the second time re: this
