Question from debweb27
I had picked an organic dry cleaner who changed to conventional methods after a move. I mistakenly assumed they were using the same methods. Usually in the fall I dry clean several of my favorite wool sweaters rather than wash cold because it makes them look like new. I got them back recently with a horrible toxic film on them that makes my skin numb and smells vaguely of mothballs. Is there any way to remove this? I found another organic dry cleaner but I’m not sure that will be sufficient to get rid of these chemicals. Any suggestions?
Debra’s Answer
I suggest you go back to the dry cleaner and ask them what they cleaned your sweaters with. Usually there is some “clean-up” substance that will remove it. If they don’t know, ask them for the manufacturer’s contact information and ask the manufacturer yourself.
Readers, any experience with this?
