Your "Dry Clean Only" Clothes Deserve Better
Professional wet cleaning gets your most delicate garments spotless — without the toxic chemicals that traditional dry cleaners use. Safer for your clothes, your skin, and the planet.
Not "Dry Cleaning". Better Than Dry Cleaning.
If your garment tag says "dry clean only," that doesn't mean it has to be cleaned with chemicals. Professional wet cleaning uses water, biodegradable detergents, and computer-controlled machines to achieve a superior clean — on the exact garments dry cleaners have been handling for decades. We pioneered wet cleaning in Chicago because we believe no one should have to choose between clean clothes and clean air.
Clean Without Compromise
No harsh chemicals, no shortcuts, no exceptions. Just a better way to care for the clothes that matter most.
No Toxic Chemicals
Most dry cleaners still use PERC — a chemical linked to cancer. We built our entire process around never needing it. Not once.
Meticulous Care
Every item is inspected, treated for its specific fabric and condition, and finished by hand. Because throwing it in a machine isn't care.
Designer Safe
We're trusted with Gucci, Burberry, cashmere, silk, and heirlooms. If it's valuable to you, it's handled with precision by us.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is wet cleaning actually safe for "dry clean only" items?
Yes. Professional wet cleaning is specifically designed for garments labeled “dry clean only.” Our machines, detergents, and finishing techniques are calibrated to handle delicate fabrics — including silk, wool, cashmere, and structured garments — without damage.
How is wet cleaning different from washing at home?
Home washing machines use heat, agitation, and generic detergents that can shrink, stretch, or fade delicate fabrics. Our professional wet cleaning equipment uses controlled temperature, gentle mechanical action, and specially formulated biodegradable detergents — a completely different process.
What is PERC and why should I avoid it?
PERC (perchloroethylene) is the chemical solvent used by most traditional dry cleaners. The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies it as a possible human carcinogen. It also contaminates soil and groundwater. Yashu Washu has never used PERC — wet cleaning is our alternative.
Can you clean designer and luxury items?
Absolutely. We regularly clean pieces from brands like Gucci, Burberry, Theory, and more. If you have something particularly valuable or sentimental, let us know when you schedule — we’ll treat it accordingly.
Do I need to be home for pickup and delivery?
No. You can use our 24/7 lockers for drop-off and pickup at your convenience, or schedule a free pickup/delivery route stop. You’ll get photo updates and notifications throughout.
