"Environmentally friendly" dry cleaners.  Quotes because that's what they say, but I'm not 100% convinced.  Their website doesn't do much to allay my concerns that the CO2 they use to clean the clothes is just dumped to the atmosphere.  They do get the CO2 from an industrial source and do not make their own, so they recycle the CO2 at least once.  Their website states that they use renewable energy in the stores (doesn't specify what) and that their delivery trucks run on B100 (100% biodiesel).

When I had my clothes cleaned there it was quick and cheap.  Well, I can't compare how much it cost compared with other dry cleaners because it's been ages since I've done any dry cleaning.  But, for seven or eight shirts and three pairs of dress pants, the bill was ~$25.  Not bad I say.  They can even clean odd items like a sleeping bag.

4 stars because I'm a sucker for anything environmentally friendly even if it may just be an advertising gimick.

By the way, I was at the store at the 1500 block of Platte St near the flagship REI.

* The first star for its sustainable business practices
* Another Star for its use of biodiesel
* A third star for its nifty delivery service
* The last star for its automatic payment option... which just charges money owed right to my credit card without me having to give them my information each time... Which I guess is also kind of scary... hmmm

Revolution Cleaners is a dry cleaning service that uses an environmentally friendly cleaning process ( Most dry cleaners use a toxic substance called PERC ).  Revolution Cleaners utilizes liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) as the primary cleaning solvent.

I'm a big supporter of sustainable business practices and I love this dry cleaning service not only because they are green, but because they do pick up and delivery... Which saves me time, gas, and the sticky note reminders. (The delivery van also only uses biodiesel)

I have started this company's delivery service up at a couple of different places around Colorado that I have worked at over the years, and building tenets are always happy to have the green service.  

The only Con I can think of is that they only come on certain days, (So you have to remember to bring your clothes into work) and their prices are not that much different than a standard cleaners, which can add up.
