CARE 01
Green, perc-free cleaning
Every garment is cleaned without perc, the harsh solvent many dry cleaners still use. Gentle on fabrics, from everyday shirts to beaded gowns.
About the family
A dry cleaning family since 1964.
Father and sons, one neighborhood cleaner at a time, from the Bronx to Goldens Bridge.
Throggs Neck, Bronx
1964
The first family cleaner opens
The story
It started in the Bronx.
In 1964 the family opened a cleaner in Throggs Neck under the One Hour Martinizing sign. The motto back then was “Fresh as a flower in just one hour.” Most of the family worked behind that counter at one point or another.
That Bronx store is still in the family today as American Cleaners & Tailors. From there the family grew into Westchester and Connecticut, one neighborhood cleaner at a time, including North County Cleaners & Tailors in Goldens Bridge.
Today Vinny Zeppieri and his two sons, Vinny Jr. and Nick, run the stores together. They keep the work the way it has always been done, by hand and by people who know the customers by name, and bring in new equipment where it makes the work better. Vinny Jr. also runs Varsity Uniforms, the family's uniform cleaning business, caring for the doormen, porters and concierge staff of more than 100 residential buildings across New York City.
