Green Apple Cleaners Expands Reach to Health Conscious Customers
Date:6/10/2008

NEW YORK, June 10 /PRNewswire/ -- It was good news for Manhattan this week when Green Apple Cleaners bought its second state-of-the-art Solvair Cleaning System.

"Solvair is the real deal."

The eco-safe formula is attracted to and thoroughly removed by the liquid CO2, and continually recovered, recycled and reused within the machine for maximum efficiency. Clothes float in liquid and CO2 vapor, cushioned from tumbling damage. The pressure in the machine is then reduced until the liquid CO2 evaporates. Clothes dry completely and instantly leaving clothes free of stains, dirt and residue from other dry cleaners. This gentle process noticeably helps prolong the life of the garment.

According to David Kistner, reduction in energy consumption is a welcome side effect. "We've s
