This question specifically relates to the dry cleaning solvent known as perchloroethylene (perc). Despite questions of the health effects of this chemical agent in the past 5 years, there is no scientific evidence to show any correlation between it and harm to humans.

As with most chemicals, high-level perc exposure can induce headaches, dizziness, nausea, and eye and skin irritation, but such prolonged exposure can not arise from simply picking up or wearing clothes that have been recently drycleaned. Moreover, the levels found within our facilities is far below such harmful quantities.

Perc has been used by the drycleaning industry for more than sixty years, and there has never been any proof linking perc with an elevated occurance of cancer.

Finally, perc is thoroughly regulated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the EPA. We pride ourselves in following every safety procedure to provide a healthful environment to our customers, employees, and the earth.
