In reply to Dry cleaners in west hollywood. Yes, but the best option is to avoid clothes that require dry cleaning, and then to launder at home using non-toxic cleansers designed specifically for woolens and other fabrics that usually are dry cleaned. Items like suit coats need to be professionally laundered, but using the least toxic methods available.

Organic dry cleaning matters more now a days since most of the dry cleaners are using chemicals in order to save our environment we need to come to organic dry cleaning instead of using chemical solvents we have to do it in a organic manner.

It seems like organic dry cleaners are popping up everywhere. So, what makes a dry cleaner organic, and is this process an Eco-friendly alternative to traditional methods?

At first sight I thought that these “organic dry cleaners” were actually just misusing the word “organic” for marketing purposes.
it’s not like the FDA regulates the names for laundromats, right?
Good to know there are still safe alternatives out there, though.

Thanks so much, ! I was able to find a CO2 place that’s within range of my house. We haven’t dry cleaned anything since we moved last summer finding a truly green drycleaner was (undone) on my to-do list. You rock.

Part of starting my delivery dry cleaning service in Atlanta was to go to as many dry cleaners as possible and research the cleaning methods they use. It was scary how many simply didn’t know or replied ‘solvent’. Well of course you use ‘solvent’ – but what type? Some would come right out and say PERC while others expected the questions to stop when they replied ‘I don’t know'(usually just part time workers so not surprising). The consumer has to force the change in their local dry cleaners by asking until an answer is provided. If they use PERC, take your business else where.

Organic is a word all too often thrown around too casually, or simply
as a marketing ploy. It is very important for the consumer to
understand what this means, and to ask the operator a few further
questions. With no regulation on word “Organic” it can mean natural
petrol based cleaners, Carbon dioxide cleaning, a dry cleaner who uses
biodegradable laundry bags, or the use of Wet Cleaning Methods. Let’s
get into what each one of these means.
Gasoline is a petroleum based substance, and therefore would be
considered Organic. Now I am sure your cleaner isn’t washing your
clothes in gasoline, but some of these other formulas marketed as
organic are not much better!
C02 cleaning while safer than the use of Petrol based cleaners is
still not the best thing for you or the environment. While it is said
that the C02 is actually recaptured in the end this is still a toxic
agent contributing to the largest amount of Green House gas emissions
each year. This is what your car releases from the tailpipe.
Reusable Garment Bags, are great, and all cleaners should use them,
but obviously this shouldn’t constitute “Organic Dry Cleaning”.
Wet Cleaning, the most Organic of all choices is made up of using
sophisticated washing equipment along with precise agitation cycles,
as well as reforming and reshaping equipment. This is the only true
Organic Method and recognized by consumer reports as the safest
substitute for conventional (PERC) Dry Cleaning Methods. Not only is
this method safer for the operator, and patron, but also gentler on
clothing too. Typical garments cleaned with these methods last 30-40%
Longer, and obviously come back absent of any chemical smell.
