I have seen this so often recently in green publications and being the speed reader that I am thought that finally there was a healthy way to dry clean my clothes. Some of the reasons that they list are:
1. There are no substances that will build up on your clothes
2. Carbon dioxide can actually remove chemicals from your clothes
3. Carbon dioxide use does not create more greenhouse gases
So, sounds great right? No…
The thing that I kept looking past was that they still use a detergent. I found this out the hard way by ruining most of my winter wardrobe. I have been airing this out for two weeks in the sun and still no help! I have been searching and made some calls into CO2 dry cleaners and I cannot find one that uses a non-toxic detergent. If you have any ideas please share in the comments!
The best dry cleaner that I have found is the Greener Cleaner based here in Chicago. Read more about their process here.
My words of wisdom: Believe in love, in possibility, in going after your dreams, in never stopping, in not existing but living - fully, unapologetically and wildly, believe that all is good, and always trust your gut.
