The Glenforest method
Inspect to deliver.
Six decades in, the routine has not changed.
The case for water.
Conventional dry cleaning soaks clothes in PERC, a solvent you would not want near your skin, your family or your city. It gets garments clean, but it leaves something of itself behind.
Glenforest became Toronto's first wet cleaning specialist because we believed there was a better way: purified water, biodegradable detergents and precisely controlled Miele certified equipment, matched to each fibre. Wool comes back softer. Silk keeps its hand. Whites stay white, without the grey cast solvents leave over the years.
It takes more judgment than pushing garments through a machine. After 60 years, judgment is the part we enjoy most.
- Water temperature and drum action matched to each fibre
- Biodegradable detergents, dosed by hand at the counter
- Every garment hand pressed and finished before it goes home
Take our care home.

Kind words from up the street.
They took a wine stain out of a silk blouse two other cleaners had given up on. It came back looking like the day I bought it.
"Our shirts go out in the bag on Tuesday and come back pressed and on hangers." David, Bedford Park
"I brought in my mother's wedding gown from 1978, terrified. It is beautiful again." Priya, Davisville
