Before dry cleaning, clothing was washed by dressing up a phalanx of backyard laundry scarecrows just before thunderstorms. Do away with sopping strawmen and clean your clothes the new-fashioned way—with science and today’s Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of eco-friendly dry cleaning at EcoClean. EcoClean’s eco-cleaning has won several awards in the past, including 2009’s Best Dry Cleaner from the Austin Chronicle ’s reader poll. This Groupon is good for EcoClean's Guadalupe Street location; it expires three months from today's date and is only good for new customers or customers who have not used the service in the past 12 months.

Without relying on toxic cleaning products such as Perchloroethylene and hydrocarbon solvents or a bucket of melted action figures, EcoClean delivers professional garment cleaning and laundry services that are as good for the environment as they are easy on your skin. Thanks to a special wet cleaning process that uses biodegradable detergents and state-of-the-art equipment, clients can have their dirty shirts and blouses ($6.75), pants ($7), and regular dresses ($9) cleaned to a point of earth-friendly squeakiness. To prep for an important job interview or a mistakenly formal appearance at a paintball field, sport coats ($8), two-piece suits ($15), and full-length formal wear ($40) can be rid of their annoying aromas faster than coating a skunk with body spray. EcoClean also provides free pick-up and delivery (limited area available; call for details). Additional charges apply to items that are lined, beaded, stained, pleated, ruffled, or heated frequently in microwaves.

Unlike furniture, which can be tossed into any nearby washing machine for a quick sudsy spin, clothes require extra-gentle scrubbing care. Show your wardrobe what it feels like to rub greaseless elbows with a luxury launderer with today's earth-massaging Groupon to EcoClean.

• This nontoxic cleaner has made it possible to be conveniently proactive. And EcoClean hasn't racked up so many "Best of Austin"s just because of its efforts in the green revolution. It also provides smooth, speedy, and consistently efficient service. – Best of Austin 2009, Austin Chronicle
• I'm all about avoiding chemicals and trying new stuff. What better way to do this than dry cleaning. This place is very Austin, and it does some pretty jammin' job cleaning garments. – Solomon W., Yelp
• My clothes look and smell great (not that weird chemical odor at traditional dry cleaners). I've been going here for years, and never had a single problem with my clothes. – johnandkristi, Citysearch
