The Benefits Of Organic Dry Cleaning

We all own certain items of clothing that need to be dry-cleaned. Be it a prom dress, a wedding gown, or a formal outfit that’s too delicate for regular laundry load. However, we need to make sure we chose the right kind of service for our dry cleaning needs.

Most dry cleaners use harsh chemicals that reduce the life of our clothes in the process. Not only that, common dry-cleaning chemicals such as tetrachloroethylene, commonly known as PERC, has been deemed hazardous to the environment by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. PERC has also been listed as a carcinogen (cancer causing agent) by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

Organic dry cleaning is an environment-friendly and safer option for your dry cleaning needs. It does not use any harsh chemicals but rather relies on water, steam, and bio-degradable detergents.

Opting for organic dry cleaning has a number of benefits which include:

Good for the environment:

When water containing traditional dry cleaning products is disposed off, it contaminates larger water bodies, affecting marine life. Since organic dry cleaning products are manufactured using natural organic ingredients, waste water can be disposed off without worrying about its impact on wildlife, human health and the environment.

Good for you:

As stated before, conventional dry cleaning chemicals are listed among some of the most widely used carcinogens. Regular contact with these chemicals, over a certain period of time can lead to development of different kinds of cancer. 

On the other hand, Organic dry cleaning uses natural products which are FDA approved and safe for human health.

Good for your clothes:

Unlike PERC containing detergents, organic dry cleaning is very mild. It protects your fabrics, thereby increasing the lifespan of your clothes. Chemicals like PERC reduce the quality of the threads within the fabrics which results in the clothes becoming fragile. Organic dry cleaning also results in fresher clothes with a crisp feel to it.
