Question from jag
Some of my son’s cotton, nylon and otherwise washable clothing was mistakenly dry-cleaned, although I was advised it was a “green dry-cleaner” whatever that means. It usually means they use regular cleaning fluid but dispose of it properly and keep the fumes to a minimum. The city where this was done has no CO2 cleaners listed, which I’m told is least toxic. If I re-wash these items at home, won’t the dry cleaning fluid or “perc” come out in the wash, create fumes and otherwise contaminate subsequent loads? I recall this happening to me decades ago so I am wary about trying it again. If there is any doubt, I’d rather toss the clothes. I have a front loading machine and some brands advise against this.

I don’t have any experience with this.
