The Truth About Dry Cleaning
Petroleum-based solvents, either “Perchloroethylene” or “Hydro Carbon,” are used throughout the dry cleaning industry. Unfortunately, these solvents can leave harmful chemicals in your clothes and can pose certain health risks to humans (see chart). While “Hydro Carbon” isn’t as harmful as “Perc,” it still is a petroleum-based solvent and carries environmental and quality concerns.
How is Wet Cleaning Changing the Industry?
Wet cleaning uses fresh water and a safely formulated detergent. Our computer-regulated process controls temperature, pH levels, moisture content and agitation to effectively clean your garments. There’s no harm to you, your clothes or to our environment!
Green Care Cleaners uses this revolutionary process to provide Colorado with a safe alternative to dry cleaning. Our wet cleaning service has allowed us to become an EPA-approved business, and we’ll continue to produce quality service for every one of our customers in Littleton, CO and Highlands Ranch, CO.

The Biggest Difference
The biggest difference between Green Care Cleaners and other business that clean your clothes is care. It’s easy to douse a piece of clothing with chemicals to try and get it clean. We don’t think that’s good enough for you or your clothes. The wet cleaning that we use requires much more care and personal attention, and we’re committed to providing that care and attention because we know it shows in the look and feel of your best suits and dresses. It all adds up to better service for no extra money!
