Vapor Cleaners

Three generations of owners and multiple long-term (we’re talking decades) employees keep this family business humming along. They were employing the environmentally friendly GreenEarth process (the first in Monterey County to do so) before it was cool. But it’s the quality and attention to detail that keep customers coming back, from the era of bell bottoms and polyester, to spandex and big shoulders, to flannel and acid washed jeans, to track suits and yoga pants, to skinny jeans and hoodies.
