Conventional dry cleaning has a dirty secret: perchloroethylene. “Perc” is a toxic substance considered a potential carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

Fortunately, eco-friendly cleaning methods are becoming easier to find—and they don’t make your clothes smell like chemicals.
