Kaplan’s Careful Cleaners of Camp Hill, PA, has been honored with an award for 2025 Small Business Environmental Stewardship by the National Small Business Environmental Assistance Programs (SBEAP). The prestigious national recognition celebrates the family-owned drycleaner and tailor shop’s decades of exceptional craftsmanship that started in 1978.
Current owner Dale Kaplan has roots in the cleaning and tailoring industry in Harriburg, PA, since 1931, including his father and grandfather. The achievement represents a successful multi-generational effort driven by Kaplan and administered by his daughter, Alana, advocating for the complete elimination of perchloroethylene (PERC). The father-daughter team successfully transitioned the facility to an advanced aqueous cleaning system using Miele machinery.
