About The Owner - Rye Ridge Cleaners

Rye Ridge Cleaners has been around since 1993! We proudly provided the highest quality service for our customers.

Before purchasing the dry cleaning store with his partner and wife Robin, Seth Friedman graduated from the premiere school in the northeast for training professionals in the industry.

During his time in school, Seth learned about the various types of fabrics used to create today’s garments, as well as the latest technologies and methods to care for those garments.

In order to stay up-to-date with the current fashion trends and dry cleaning methods, Seth is member of the National Cleaning Association which provides ongoing classes in garment care.

Environmentally Consious

With his background as a nature guide and farmer, he learned to become very conscious of the environment. After opening the dry cleaning business, he was the first in Westchester County to offer the reusable garment and laundry bags to replace single-use plastic covers. Seth also encourages his customers to return the hangers for reuse.

In the Past

He spent two years as a nature guide in the deserts of the southern part of the country for the Society for the Protection of Nature.
