EnviroStars dry cleaners are spreading the use of less-toxic chemicals to clean garments:
For example, by investing inalternatives to perchloroethylene (perc) such as wet-cleaning, carbon dioxide (CO2), and petroleum hydrocarbon solvent cleaners; many provide reusable garment bags and recycle hangers. Those that do use the traditional perc solvent, have had a careful on-site review of their operations and had systems in place to ensure that it is managed safely.

We reuse or recycle plastic bags from customers; reuse all hangers; only use enough spot remover as required. I'm happy to be an EnviroStar, customers ask about it and people who live or work in area ask about it too. - Hak Soo Min, Owner, 24th Ave NW Dry Cleaners
