eager for an organic dry cleaner

From a resident along Bloomingdale's business strip:

Any chance we can get the dry cleaners at 1st and RI NW -- City Cleaners -- to switch to using organic solvents? I went there for the first time today (it's a block from my house) and was dismayed to hear the workers coughing in the back room. Plus there is no excuse for non-organic dry cleaning these days, as the organic alternative is now proven technology, and the old style has significant environmental impact.

Also, does anyone know of a good organic dry cleaners in the neighborhood?
