Going Green: Just a Dream?

In the last 10 years dry cleaning has changed tremendously. There has been more innovation during this time than there had been since people started using kerosene to clean their clothes back in the 1800s. Of course dry cleaning means without water, yet the clothes are still submersed in a wet solution or cleaning agent.

This begins a series of articles regarding the various aspects of environmentally friendly cleaning, including the solvents.

However, first we'd like to start by offering a couple sites related to the green movement.

The first site is about biodegradable dry cleaning bags for sale; the second is an NPR story that brought the idea for this blog to my attention.
