What Is Eco-Friendly Dry Cleaning?
Eco-friendly dry cleaning also referred to as green cleaning, is an alternative to professional cleaning that avoids the use of perchloroethylene, a harmful chemical solvent otherwise known as perc.
Although there are alternatives to professional cleaning without the use of chemicals, still only about 20% of professional dry cleaners offer eco-friendly cleaning solutions. Currently the states of New Jersey, California and Illinois are committed to phasing out the use of perc by 2021-2023, by helping professional cleaners transition to other green cleaning options.
