Most dry cleaners use perchloroethylene, also known as tetrachloroethylene, PCE, or “perc.” When inhaled by staff members, even low concentrations of perc are known to cause respiratory and eye irritation, headache, dizziness and vision problems. And, perc sticks to clothing, coming back to you when clothes are returned. A study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control confirmed that these chemicals are bad for the environment and bad for you.
