Think green before you clean. Please dry clean only as needed, 75% of the energy consumption in the life of clothes happens during the use phase. The majority of dry cleaners use a harmful chemical called Perc. The negative side effects of Perc have been documented, going back decades and it's not just nasty for the environment, but also for your health. When dry cleaning, opt for a non-toxic and environmentally safe alternative by visiting your local green or eco dry cleaner. Be sure to ask if they use Perc, D-5 cleaners or hydrocarbons in order to avoid toxic chemicals. Not only will you save resources, your clothes will look newer for longer.
