FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DRYCLEAN USA, Inc. Announces Year End Results

Revenues And Earnings Increase Substantially In Fiscal 2005 Over Fiscal 2004

Company Increases Semi-Annual Dividend From $.035 to $.04 Per Share

Miami, FL - September 26, 2005 - DRYCLEAN USA, Inc. (AMEX:DCU) today reported
results of operations for the Company's year ended June 30, 2005.

Revenues increased by 25.3% to $18,389,009 for fiscal 2005 from $14,672,265 in
fiscal 2004. Net earnings increased 31.7% to $706,263 or $.10 per diluted share
in fiscal 2005 from $536,217 or $.08 per diluted share in fiscal 2004.

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a $.04 per share
semi-annual dividend, payable on November 1, 2005 to shareholders of record on
October 14, 2005.

Venerando J. Indelicato, Chief Financial Officer of DRYCLEAN USA, Inc., stated:
"Fiscal 2005 was a very successful year with revenues and earnings increasing at
double digit rates, mostly due to our expanded sales territory and increased
sales staff." He also reported that cash flow continued to be strong enabling
the Board of Directors to increase the semi-annual dividend to $.04 per share
from the $.035 per share paid in May.

Mr. Indelicato cautioned that Hurricane Katrina may affect the first quarter of
fiscal 2006 due to shipping delays from one of the Company's major laundry
equipment and spare parts suppliers located near New Orleans. "While the first
quarter of fiscal 2006 may be skewed," he said, "results for the entire year
should not be materially affected."

DRYCLEAN USA, Inc., through its subsidiaries, is one of the nation's leading
distributors of industrial laundry and dry cleaning equipment and steam boilers.
Its subsidiary, DRYCLEAN USA License Corp, is one of the largest franchise and
license operations in the dry cleaning industry, currently consisting of over
400 franchised and license stores in the United States, the Caribbean and Latin
America.
