Have been for almost ten years now. I own Hangers Cleaners. Need to correct the half truths of James' March comments. A few drycleaners use Solvair, which uses a form of glycol (they say environmentally friendly, and I won't debate that pro or con) followed by a rinse/dry cycle of LCD. I use liquid CO2 only, no DF-2000(actaully NO ONE uses that followed by a CO2 rinse as James states), no Silicone D5, no glycol. Just beverage grade CO2. More info is available from Greenpeace, as well as a Consumer Report study in 2003, which actaully tested my facility. Anyone wanting more REAL info on CO2 drycleaning can reach me anytime at my Torrey Hills plant or via email. As for other parts of the country...unfortunately there are only about 25 CO2 drycleaning machines operating in US. If you are in Albuquerque, or Kansas City, you're in luck. Check out Hangers Cleaners there. I am a CO2 drycleaner in San Diego. Have been for almost ten years now. I own Hangers Cleaners. Need to correct the half truths of James’ March comments.

De hecho si logramos patentar este producto cada ama de casa podra lavar en seco desde la momodidad de su hogar, sin efectos secundarios de salud. Varias personas en Ecuador creen que el lavado en seco es el mejor pero nadie se pone a pensar los efectos secundarios que tiene el percloroetileno (PERC) antes de experimentar con este nuevo detergente ecolóico trabajabamos con (PERC) y tuvimos el inconveniente con un cliente el cual provocaba en el rasquiña, escozor desde que cambiamos de producto fue el primer cliente el cual provo la calidad del lavado y hasta la fecha es nuestro fiel cliente. Amigos debemos pensar a futuro pues si contaminamos nuestras fuentes de agua despues con el tiempo no vamos a poder tener ninguna forma de vidad (PERC) contamina cinco veces más que un aceite liviano.

I had no idea. I will look for an “Eco Dry Cleaner” here in Seattle. I’m leaving for North Dakota tomorrow. They DO NOT recycle there. I will try my best though. I also loved your article on having fun. Taking time out for your mom, walking around having a good time is always a good thing and good for the planet!! I like your findings on the dry cleaner.

I think it is amazing how small things, like your dry cleaners, can make such a huge difference. I have found this to be extremely true with myself. I had CFL's, my thermostat on a timer, powerstrips, double pained windows...you name it. I got this gadget off amazon called the Envi and it surprised me just how much waste I had! I was able to see my usage and make changes. It pointed out things that I couldn't see, either because I was sleeping or because I am not an electrician. Do more then just change your dry cleaners, change your life. This Envi is my new favorite toy. I used it to cut my usage by at least 30% I think. That's a lot of green house gas avoided.
