Giving back
Today and every day, Owl Cleaners is grateful for the opportunity to provide quality service to our customers in our community and as a sign of our gratitude we make it a point to give back.
Over the years we’ve worked with some amazing charitable organizations. Below are a few examples:
– Toys for Tots
For the past 21 years, we’ve proudly been one of the largest toy donors to the Marshall Township Borough Office. We couldn’t do it without our customers who consistently support this effort by providing toys for children in need during the holiday season. We also support North Hills Community Outreach and the Greater Pittsburgh Food Bank in collaboration with Toys for Tots.

Our green commitment
At Owl Cleaners we care about our clients and the environment. As one of only two Green Business Bureau Certified dry cleaners in Western Pennsylvania, we are determined to do our part for our community and the environment.
Green Cleaning
Dry cleaning hasn’t traditionally be considered a “green” business, but at Owl Cleaners we’ve done away with harmful chemicals and processes and have installed the the newest 100% green technology, SYSTEMK4 (SK4). SK4 is an environmentally-friendly mix of bio-degradable cleaning solution, technology and environmentally-friendly cleaning agents that cleans better than traditional solvents and other green solvents on the market today. You’ll be amazed by the soft hand and neutral aroma this specialized service delivers.
ZeroCarbonTM Wedding Gown Cleaning and Preservation
As a member of the Association of Wedding Gown Specialists, Owl Cleaners is among the first in the industry to offer carbon-neutral wedding gown cleaning and wedding gown preservation, and our ZeroCarbonTM gown preservations are unique
Green Practices
We recycle all components of our packaging, including hangers, bags and paper goods. In fact, we are happy to tailor our packaging process to suit your own environmental practices by eliminating tissue or poly bags on your garments. Feel free to bring your own garment bags – or request one of our reusable garment bags!
Owl Cleaners, its owners and its employees are not only caring for Pittsburgh’s finest wardrobes, we’re caring for Pittsburgh’s natural resources – because this is our home, and because it’s the right thing to do – and we have demonstrated this promise with significant investment in the technologies and processes that enable us to provide you with best-in-class, responsible garment care.
