SYSTEMK4 Dry Cleaning
The most advanced, plant-based dry cleaning system in the world — safer for your garments, safer for your family, safer for the planet.
Kreussler — Germany
What is SYSTEMK4?
SYSTEMK4 is a revolutionary dry cleaning system developed by Kreussler, a German chemical company with over 150 years of expertise. It uses SOLVON K4 — a biodegradable, plant-derived solvent — as a complete replacement for the traditional PERC (perchloroethylene) chemical used in conventional dry cleaning.
Unlike PERC, which is classified as a probable human carcinogen by the EPA, SOLVON K4 is non-toxic, biodegradable, and leaves no harmful residues on your garments. It is the gold standard in modern, responsible dry cleaning.

Kreussler — Germany
Two Premium Systems. One World-Class Standard.
Sky Cleaners LLC is proud to offer both of Kreussler's flagship professional cleaning systems — the gold standard in garment care worldwide.
Kreussler is a German specialty chemical company founded in 1895 with over 130 years of innovation in professional textile care. Their technologies are trusted by the world's finest dry cleaners, luxury hotels, and haute couture ateliers. At Sky Cleaners LLC, we have invested in both of Kreussler's premium systems to deliver an unmatched level of care for every garment we receive.
SYSTEMK4 — Dry Cleaning
Our SYSTEMK4 system uses SOLVON K4, a plant-derived, biodegradable solvent that replaces traditional PERC. It is the most advanced dry cleaning technology available — non-toxic, EPA-compliant, and extraordinarily gentle on delicate fabrics.
Best for: Structured garments, suits, formal wear, bridal gowns, and items labeled "Dry Clean Only."
Wet Cleaning — Aqueous Care
Wet Cleaning is a professional, computer-controlled aqueous cleaning process using Kreussler's LANADOL and PERSIL Professional specialty detergents. It is the most environmentally friendly professional garment care method available — using water instead of solvents, with zero chemical emissions.
Best for: Delicate natural fibers, cashmere, silk, fine wool, linen, and items that benefit from a gentle water-based clean.
