This webinar
will focus on alternatives to perchloroethylene (PERC) in dry
cleaning. PERC is a carcinogen and PERC dry cleaning is
scheduled to be phased out over the next several years in dry cleaning
in California. Other
states are also considering similar regulations. There are a
variety of alternatives that are replacing PERC including hydrocarbon,
Green Earth, glycol ether cleaning, water-based cleaning using various
processes, and carbon dioxide cleaning. Characteristics of
these cleaning processes will be discussed. The webinar will
also focus on safer alternatives to PERC and trichloroethylene (TCE)
used extensively in the textile cleaning industry for spotting. TCE,
like PERC, is a carcinogen. Alternatives that can be used
for spotting garments include water-based and soy based cleaners.
