DryGreen: Dry Cleaners Leeds

10 reasons to green dry clean

You may not know that nearly all dry cleaners use a solvent known as perchloroethylene (perc) in the process of cleaning your clothes.

What everyone should know is that perc is toxic and contaminates the air we breathe, it is also a hazardous classified substance that is likely to cause cancer, and one of the top four dangerous contaminants found in our drinking water.

Perc can enter your body simply through inhalation or touch. More obvious and immediate effects of this hazardous chemical are skin irritation, watering eyes or tickly nose and throat.

It can also have effect your brain, with similar symptoms to being drunk, causing dizziness, headaches, vomiting, and loss of balance.

Dry Green does not use any perchloroethylene in our dry cleaning process, only natural cleaning solvent made from renewable resources.

The Dry Green dry cleaning difference

1. No petrochemicals are used in our cleaning solvent, just natural ingredients from renewable resources.
2. Non-toxic, non- carcinogenic and no more hazardous waste to pollute our air or water supplies.
3. It's the same price but gives better results than traditional dry cleaning
4. No harsh chemicals, non-allergenic, so that clothes are soft and gentle next to your skin
5. Colours remain vibrant and whites stay bright, even after repeated laundering.
6. Our gentle cleaning process means that clothes stay as good as new for far longer – even with the most delicate of fabrics.
7. Your laundered items are 100% fresh and odour free - no more of that sharp, dry-cleaned smell.
8. Our hi-tech machinery uses 1/3 of the energy of traditional dry cleaners for reduced CO2 emissions.
9. All the hangers and plastic packaging we use is made from 100% recycled material.
10. All our vehicles run on bio-fuels, and later in 2010 we will be changing to a fleet of electric powered vans.
