Non-toxic dry cleaning, two blocks apart.
La La Laundry dry cleans at both East Village shops — 180 Avenue B and 97 East 3rd Street — using biodegradable agents and eco-friendly solvents rather than harsh ones. Items run $4.50 to $75. Call 212-529-8886.
Dry cleaning is the part of this business that changed most. It was the weak link for a while, the owners will tell you so, and it was rebuilt around the Atelier when East 3rd opened in March 2026.
The cleaning process uses biodegradable agents and eco-friendly solvents. That matters most on the things people worry about handing over — silk, wool, tailoring, anything lined, anything beaded.
What we clean
The things people bring in.
- Suits, jackets and trousers, cleaned and pressed together so the set still matches.
- Coats — wool, cashmere, down, and the ones that only come out four months a year.
- Silk, satin and anything with a lining that moves separately from the shell.
- Dresses, including beaded and formal pieces.
- Shirts.
- Household — bedding, throws and curtains.
Alterations too
One counter, both jobs.
People who come in for an alteration almost always leave the dry cleaning at the same time, because it is the same counter and the same trip. If a garment needs both, say so on the phone and we'll sequence it properly — cleaning first, then fitting, so the fabric has already done its moving.
Prices
