Here are just a few reasons why Dry Cleaning Butler has chosen NOT to use PERC.

Out of all the dry cleaners in the US, 85% still use the toxic solvent perchloroethylene (PERC) known to cause headaches, nausea, dizziness, and which has been linked to reproductive problems, including miscarriage and infertility in men, as well as disorders of the central nervous system. If these health risks aren’t enough, the International Agency for Research in Cancer has labeled PERC a probable human carcinogen, as has the EPA in a recent Cleaner Technology Substitutes Assessment. PERC is also environmentally very unfriendly and when improperly handled can create health and environmental risks in the atmosphere, soil, groundwater, drinking water, and waterways threatening many forms of life. Small amounts of PERC have been shown to be toxic to some aquatic animals where it is stored in their fatty tissues. Small amounts of PERC contaminating soil or irrigation water can also damage or kill many kinds of plants. Due to this extensive laundry-list of health concerns, and many other environmental concerns such as air and water pollution, dry-cleaning consumers can make a significant contribution by choosing healthier, greener alternatives to PERC.

Dry Cleaning Butler DOES NOT USE PERC! We are committed to the environment, which is why we have made the conscious decision to choose a greener, environmentally friendly, dry cleaning solution. We use a hydrocarbon dry cleaning solution. With this solution, not only will your clothes NOT shrink or stretch, but the colors remain true, it is not harmful to the environment and it is odorless!
