It's hard to miss the Vapor Cleaners building located across the street from the Courthouse, on Water Street. Established in 1912, Vapor Cleaners has a very rich history in serving the Santa Cruz community. The most memorable aspect of its history will most likely be remembered with its contributions to environmental business innovation.
Vapor Cleaners prides itself as "The Greener Cleaners." In addition to completely eliminating the outdated dry cleaning method of using PERC (perchloroethylene), Vapor Cleaners also installed solar panels on top of the building.
