1.  Organic Dry Cleaning Isn’t Really “GREEN”

The only true organic cleaning process is using water and it’s known as Wet-Cleaning. Most cleaners advertise “green” and “organic” but they use Hydrocarbon, an “organic” substance that comes from the earth. However, hydrocarbon is still considered toxic and can do harm just as much as Perc. Perc is a common and toxic chemical solvent used in the dry-cleaning industry.

2.  Women’s Garments May Get Charged Slightly More.

I remember a woman calling us and stressing how we were sexist for charging more for her clothes than men’s clothing. The truth is women’s clothing is more delicate and most items need to be hand ironed with extra care.

3. Your Local Dry Cleaner Isn’t Really The One Cleaning Your Clothes.

Most likely your clothes are being sent out to a central plant which is why some clothes go missing or misplaced. The next time you visit your local dry cleaner ask them if they are a “dry” or “package” store. Dry stores are just a drop-off location to transport garment to the central cleaning plant. Package stores own their own equipment and do the cleaning on-site, or at their sister site.

4.  Your Clothes Might Get Donated If It Sits There For Too Long.

If you leave your clothes at the dry cleaner for more than a year or two, don’t expect to find them there years later. Most dry cleaners have a policy that, if the customers do not pick it up in 60 days, they have a right to donate them.

5.  Plastic Bags Can’t Be Recycled.

There is a special program that recycles plastic dry cleaning bags but really what they are doing is shipping it off to another country. Dry cleaning plastic bags are not biodegradable, that means they will sit in landfills forever. They get caught in recycling machinery and damage equipment.

6.  Dry Cleaning Isn’t Really “DRY”.

Dry cleaning is not a “dry” process, clothes are soaked in a liquid solvent known as Perc. Perc is short for Perchloroethylene and is the most widely used toxic solvent.

7.  Plastic Bags Used To Cover Your Clothing Is Actually Bad For Your Garment.

Leaving freshly cleaned garments in the plastic bag can cause yellowing, staining, and weakening of fibers. Which is why you should discard the plastic dry cleaning bag.

8. Reinforce Or Cover Buttons.

If you want to save yourself time and money, check your clothes for loose closures before heading to the cleaners. Most likely, your local dry cleaner isn’t responsible for loose or missing buttons.
