Margaret, Global Technologies has a cleaning process which incorporated the technogogy which you are interested in.  Their web site is, http:// www.globaltechno.com, you can find a report which discribes their process.
An inventor of detergents for use in liquid carbon dioxide cleaning systems is a founder of MiCELL Technologies.  Their website is, http://www.micell.com/main.htm.  They have some interesting reports listed.
Deflex Corporation website, http://www.deflex.com/snow.htm,  has a report titled , Precision Cleaning using Thermal-Ionized Gas (TIG)  Snow Cleaning Technology.   Their cleaning process uses carbon dioxide. 
I have some other information which, I will send to you, will be of interest.

Does anyone have experience with a "new" dry cleaning technology that uses a
biodegradable soap dissolved in liquefied carbon dioxide?
