Question from Dalia
I have a dress that needs dry cleaning. In Houston there is just GREEN EARTH methods not CO2 and I heard that they too can be quite toxic.What should I do?
Debra’s Answer
GreenEarth cleaning uses liquid silicone. This is essentially liquified sand. It is made from one of the earth’s safest and most abundant natural minerals, silica. In the environment, it simply returns to its three natural elements: sand and trace amounts of water and CO2. It is so safe it is not even regulated. This is used exclusively by dry cleaners licensed by GreenEarth Cleaning.
I think it is fine for you to use them.
