Time to dry clean those covers on your Twenty2 Maxwell Linen Pillows and your Kookoon Silk Throw?
Consumer Reports found that carbon dioxide dry cleaning was the most effective, even over the traditional perchloroethylene solvent dry cleaning. Apparently dry cleaners are the largest user group of perchloroethylene, which is known to be toxic to humans and emits greenhouse gases. The new carbon dioxide and silicon cleaning methods (aka GreenEarth) are more environmentally friendly, they clean better, and aren’t toxic to your health. You can find carbon dioxide cleaners near you at www.hangersdrycleaners.com and silicon cleaners near you at www.greenearthcleaning.com. So, next time you see ‘Dry Clean Only’ on your tags or the dry clean symbol….
find a dry cleaner that will take better care of your textiles and your earth!

Hi! My name is Adam and I own an eco friendly dry cleaner in Austin, TX. You are right about PERC it is very toxic. However you forgot to mention that not only is it toxic to those who wear the dry cleaned clothes but also for the workers who handle the solvent that work at the dry cleaner. I have wrote extensively on my blog http://www.austincleaners.net/blog about the dangerous of perc. You should always ask your dry cleaner if they use perc. If they do then you should do a google search for green dry cleaners in your area. Always say no to perc dry cleaners.
