From 4.5 to 5 Leaves: A Greener Tomorrow Starts with a Cleaner Today
Since 1996, when Sudsies was awarded a 4½ Leaf rating by the Green Cleaners Council—the highest honor for a Florida dry cleaner at the time—we’ve been on a mission. Not just to clean your garments with care, but to do it in a way that cares for something bigger: the South Florida environment we call home.
Today in 2025, we’re proud to announce that Sudsies has become the first dry cleaner in Florida to receive a full 5 Leaf rating—a benchmark of environmental excellence and leadership in sustainable garment care.
And we did it right here in Fort Lauderdale, where our boutique location has become more than a trusted dry cleaner. It’s a pillar of the community and a bedrock of environmental stewardship—a rare balance of high fashion and high responsibility.
Why We Care: It’s More Than Business, It’s Personal
At Sudsies, eco-friendly dry cleaning isn’t a trend—it’s our lifestyle. We live here. We play here. We raise our families under these skies and above these aquifers. Protecting the clean air, natural waters, and fragile ecosystems of South Florida isn’t just smart business—it’s our moral and personal responsibility.
Every solvent, every garment, every delivery route is a conscious decision. That’s why we’ve invested in best-in-class technology, green chemistry, and a team trained not only in care—but in care for the Earth.
The Sudsies Difference: Greener, Cleaner, Smarter
We don’t just talk green—we operate green. Our continued leadership in eco-friendly dry cleaning across Florida and the nation is grounded in real action:
Wet Cleaning: Gentle on Fabrics, Kinder to the Planet
Unlike traditional dry cleaning which relies on chemical solvents, wet cleaning uses computer-controlled water and biodegradable detergents. It’s the safest, most effective method for cleaning delicate wools, silks, and couture garments without harming the environment or your skin.
Our Fort Lauderdale facility houses some of the most advanced wet cleaning systems in the country, setting a national standard for sustainable garment care.
Estate Laundry & Fabric Stewardship
We offer estate laundry services for discerning clients who trust us with their fine linens, household textiles, and wardrobe investments. Every piece is cared for using high-efficiency, water-saving equipment, dried naturally when possible, and finished by hand.
Whether it’s luxury bedding from Rio Vista or bespoke shirts from Las Olas Isles, we bring white-glove professionalism to every load.
Legendary Hanger Recycling Program
Each year, Americans throw away millions of wire hangers. Not us. Our hanger recycling initiative, beloved by customers, has diverted tons of metal from landfills and set an example for cleaners nationwide. We sanitize, reprocess, and reissue hangers for repeated use—because the little things add up.
Fuel-Efficient Logistics: Smarter Routes, Cleaner Rides
Our proprietary routing software calculates the most fuel-efficient path to your door. Whether you’re in Weston, Wilton Manors, or along the Intracoastal, our fleet reduces emissions while providing the best free pickup and delivery dry cleaning service in Fort Lauderdale and beyond.
Always Look Your Best—While Doing Your Best
Looking sharp and living sustainably shouldn’t be at odds. At Sudsies, they’re one and the same. We’ve always believed that fashion and ethics can live in harmony—and we’ve built our business around proving it.
As the eco-friendliest dry cleaner in Florida, we’re not stopping at 5 Leaves. We’re innovating daily to shrink our footprint even more, so you can feel good knowing your clothes are cleaned with conscience.
Looking Forward
We don’t just clean clothes—we clean with purpose. And we’re grateful to every client in Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, and across South Florida who trusts Sudsies to take care of what they wear while taking care of where they live.
Whether you’re looking for a “dry cleaner near me” or a national leader in green garment care, Sudsies is here. From couture dry cleaning and wet cleaning to estate laundry and expert alterations—we look forward to keeping you (and our planet) looking better every day.
