ARYA Cleaners | 2/26/2009 | Website

Our mission at ARYA Cleaners will always be to provide the best and highest quality dry cleaning services available anywhere, anyhow, at any price. Our customers will always receive their garments in perfect "ready-to-wear" condition as our promise to them. Using the most technologically advanced dry cleaning and laundering equipment gives us an edge over our competitors. This technology allows us to clean garments with the most environmentally safe and highest efficiency methods. For this reason, the Bonita Point Plaza location is the first dry cleaning business to become a member of the Chula vista CLEAN Business Program. But that's not the only reason - this location also implements energy and water conservation and solid waste reduction practices.
