It's been a dirty secret for much too long. Unbeknownst to many, the traditional dry cleaning process uses perchloroethylene ("perc"), a harmful chemical solvent that poses serious health hazards for those exposed to it. Perc can depress the central nervous system in humans, causing headaches, dizziness, nausea and skin or respiratory irritation. It also damages the environment, as it leads to toxic runoff in our air, water and soil. Don't stain your track record by having your delicates cleaned in such a dangerous manner. Find a perc-free dry cleaner today (there are an increasing number), and protect yourself, your dry cleaner and your planet.
