In making a choice on dry cleaning alternatives, it is important not to base decisions entirely on labels such as "green cleaning" or "green technology". These terms can mean a variety of things, and while "green cleaning" is most often a term which refers to a 100% wet cleaning method, some cleaners may be using these labels to indicate any non-Perc system, including the riskier siloxane and hydrocarbon alternatives, and in some instances cleaners might label themselves "greener" or "earth friendly" even if perc is still used in the process. Be sure to ask your cleaner what specific methods and chemicals they use before making your decision.
