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!
