Dry Clean Green
Filed Under: Health IssuesWritten by - Author Listed Below
Scope out your local area for organic dry cleaners. But before you give them your business, make sure they are using the carbon dioxide cleaning process. In this method, CO2 is put under high pressure to convert it into a liquid. As a liquid, it acts as a carrier of biodegradable soaps in much the same way as water does in a washing machine. Once the cycle is done, it turns back into a gas and is mostly reused.
Some dry cleaners advertise themselves as organic when they actually use a hydro-carbon solvent called DF-2000. While it's not as toxic as PERC, which the EPA lists as a neurotoxin and a skin and eye irritant to workers who are exposed to it, it is petroleum-based and thus contributes to global warming. (Meanwhile, don't forget to recycle those hangers back to the shop.)
