When it comes to dry cleaning options, there are a plethora available. There\u2019s high-end boutiques offering customized service and eco-friendly cleaning, Mom & Pop chains featuring good old fashioned quality and customer service, and of course the fast, cheap option. The question is, does a higher price tag actually result in a better clean? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For those who have ever shopped around their dry cleaning, you know that there <\/span>is<\/span> a difference. The customer experience and quality of care taken with garments is not uniform across dry cleaners. The lower the price, the more dependant on volume the dry cleaner is – which means they will do the bare minimum and pass your garment down the assembly line as quickly as possible. Yes, you may pay a little more for a higher-end clean, but that leads to better looking clothes that last longer, and isn\u2019t that a bigger savings in the long run?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What about eco-friendly, is it worth it? In the case of dry cleaning, it certainly is. Many dry cleaners still use a chemical called <\/span>perchloroethylene<\/span> (perc), which, although legal in Canada, <\/span>poses serious health risks<\/span><\/a>. And the risks don\u2019t stop at the dry cleaners. In fact, in her 2007 book <\/span>Ecoholic<\/span>, Adria Vasil claims that <\/span>\u201cFood (i.e. groceries) that spends one hour in a car with dry-cleaned clothes, absorbs elevated levels of perc.\u201d<\/span><\/a> Not comforting news for a chemical <\/span>considered carcinogenic by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that must be handled as a hazardous waste<\/span><\/a>. Taking that into consideration, paying a couple dollars extra to ensure your clothes are dry cleaned using eco-friendly materials doesn\u2019t seem like such a bad deal. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
