                    fhe U S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has
                    received many inquiries recently about garment
                    cleaners (traditionally known as  dry cleaners ) that
            offer "wet cleaning" services Wet cleaning is a professional,
            nontoxic method of cleaning clothes Unlike conventional dry
            cleaning, which uses chemical solvents to clean clothes, wet
            cleaning technologies ate water-based Consumer demand for
            nontoxic garment cleaning alternatives like wet cleaning is on
            the rise This increase is evidenced by the growing number of
           1 manufacturers of wet cleaning and other alternative technofo
            gies, and by the increasing number of facilities offering wet
            cleaning services
              This booklet lists over 120 establishments throughout the
            United States and  Canada that currently have wet cleaning
            capabilities If you are familiar with cleaners that are not listed

           5t cleaning is a professional gar-
           ment cleaning technique that uses
           detergents and water. Professional clean-
 ers in the 1930s and 1940s wet cleaned about one-
 fourth of all the garments that came through their
 shops. Back then, wet cleaning was used mostly on
 natural fiber garments, and dry cleaning solvents were
 used to clean the remainder. The introduction of special-
 ized, nonflammable solvents in the 1950s, however, allowed cleaners to
 dry clean virtually any type of fabric, including natural fibers. As a result,
 wet cleaning was no longer necessary.             :
   Driven by concerns about the toxicity of diy cleaning solvents, recent
 advances in both wet cleaning technology and garment care have revived
 wet cleaning as a safe alternative to dry cleaning. Trained cleaners are now
 able to wet clean many garments that have typically been diy cleaned,
 such as silks, woolens, linens, suedes, and leathers.
   Modern machine wet cleaning uses large, specialized machines to gently
 wash and dry clothes. These machines may be programmed for many vari-
 ables, such as mechanical action, water and diying temperature, moisture
 levels in the dryer, and water and detergent volume. This flexible technolo-
 gy provides cleaners with the controls to administer a customized wet
 wash suited to a fabric's specific needs.
   For example, wet cleaners can set the machines to as few as six revolu-
 tions per  minute to reduce the stress placed on delicate fabrics during the
 wash cycle. (In contrast, a typical home washing machine may rotate gar-
 ments several dozen times per minute.) To safely clean fabrics that can
 shrink when  washed in water and dried, cleaners can increase the amount
 of water spun out of wet garments after the final rinsing cycle, so that
 minimal diying is needed. They can also control the temperature and
 humidity levels during the drying process to prevent shrinkage.
   Trained wet cleaners also use other tools to ensure that garments are
safely cleaned. For clothes diat bleed, cleaners can apply an  agent diat pre-
vents dye  from washing out of garments. New; mild bleaching detergents
can be used to remove tough stains without diminishing color. Fabric soft-
eners and  finishes can be added during the wet cleaning cycle to restore

What Is  Dry Cleaning?

        Despite its name, dry cleaning is not totally dry. It involves the use of
        liquid chemicals called solvents that remove most stains from a
^^  variety of fabrics. Because very little water is added, the term "dry
cleaning" is used to describe the process. Here is how the process typically
works:
                                 1, ".     •',!!:' " 't:     ' •        "   V f
*  Dry cleaners usually treat spots by hand before placing garments in
    large machines.
*  Liquid solvents (such as perchloroethylene or "perc"), detergents, and
    sometimes a small amount of water are added to the machines. The
    machines then tumble clothes in a manner similar to laundromat wash-
    ing machines  to remove dirt, oil, and stains.

*  Once clean, the clothes are either dried in the same machine or moved
    to a separate  dryer, then pressed arid shaped.

*  After several washings, the used solvent is distilled to separate the sol-
    vent from water so it can be recycled. Distillation also separates out any
    waste residues such as detergents, dye, dirt/oil, and grease so the sol-
    vent can be reused. Instead of distillation/some machines use filters to
    clean used solvent after washings.         '

 *  Because they contain traces of perc, filters arid residues left over from
    purifying used solvent must be managed and disposed of as hazardous
    waste. Most dry cleaners send these materials to special facilities for
    recycling or incineration.

   Because the dry cleaning process uses only a1 small amount of water,
 garments are not subjected to the same conditions as those clothes that are
 immersed and agitated in water. Although modern wet cleaning machines
 have eliminated most of the problems that can occur, certain fabrics can
 shrink, dyes can bleed, and fabric texture can be altered when washed in
 water.Dry cleaning, however, can also adversely affect some fabrics. In
 short, neither method is perfect. The main difference between the two tech-
 nologies is that while dry cleaning relies on toxic solvents such as perc to
 clean clothes, wet cleaning machines use water and specialized, nontoxic
 detergents that present less risk to human health and the environment

-------
   Cleaners using state-of-the-art wet cleaning technologies are able to
 clean at least 30 percent and up to 100 percent of all garments that are
 typically dry cleaned. Studies underway will help to better determine the
 percentage of clothes that can feasibly be wet cleaned. As the technology
 matures, that number will continue to rise. Dry cleaning, however,
 remains the most widely-used method of large-scale garment cleaning.
   For years, professional cleaners have been using methods such as con-
ventional laundering and hand washing in addition to dry cleaning.
While these processes are both water-based and require cleaners to
know which fabrics need special treatment, they are not the same as wet
cleaning. Laundering uses standard washing and drying machines to
clean certain nondelicate garments that normally would NOT be dry
cleaned, such as cotton slacks and shirts. Hand washing is labor-
intensive and therefore limited to the most delicate garments such-as
silk and dyed fabrics. Machine wet cleaning, on the other hand, is an
environmentally-friendly, high-volume method of cleaning clothes that
would typically be dry cleaned.
                                / think if people would try having their
                                clothes wet cleaned, they'd love the results.
                                I'm just amazed at how good the sweaters
                                come out, so fluffy and soft. As cleaners,
                                we need to prepare our businesses for the
                                future, and wet cleaning is a good way to
                                do just that.  |                       ;

How Is  EPA Involved With	

Wet Cleaning?

  Since 1992, EPA has been working with die dry cleaning industry to reduce
exposure to perc. Became of potential health and environmental concerns asso-
ciated with perc, EPA formed a partnership with the dry cleaning industry and
public interest groups to minimize perc exposures and evaluate alternative tech-
nologies through its Design for the Environment (DfE) Program.
  As part of this voluntary partnership, DfE initiated a Cleaner Technologies
Substitutes Assessment (CTSA) with die dry cleaning industry to examine
existing pollution control technologies, solvent substitutes, and alternative
cleaning processes. A CTSA is an in-depth study that evaluates the cost, perfor-
mance, and environmental and healdi risks of given technologies and weighs
their associated "tradeoffs." Wet deaning is one such alternative technology that
has shown significant promise in the areas of performance, profitability, the
environment, health, and customer satisfaction.
   To date, DfE and its partners have conducted a study to test and compare
wet cleaning and dry cleaning. The initial results indicate that wet cleaning is
cost-effective and in many instances performs as well as or better than dry
cleaning. Additional data on machine wet cleaning and other alternative
technologies are being gathered with the help of demonstration projects.

                                             Take an article of clothing that
                                             has been dry cleaned over
                                             l                         i
                                             and over again, wet clean,that
                                             same garment maybe two to
                                             three times, and afterwards,
                                             you'll see a difference. Wet
                                             cleaning restores color in the
                                             clothes.

 *S*  Demonstration Sites—Two wet cleaning
     demonstration sites have been established
     to collect information on performance,
     cost, and customer satisfaction. The sites
     mirror typical neighborhood dry cleaning
     shops and offer dry cleaners the opportu-
     nity to observe wet cleaning techniques
     under long-term, "real-world" conditions.
     Demonstration sites .in Chicago, Illinois,
     and Los Angeles, California, are both
     operational. A final report on the demon-
     stration sites is available from die Center
     for Neighborhood Technology at
     312 278-4800.
   As part of its research, DfE has undertak-
en these additional initiatives to  evaluate and
promote alternative cleaning methods:
*>  Pollution Prevention/Waste Minimization Manual for Dry Cleaners—
    DfE is developing a manual for dry cleaners offering technical informa-
    tion on waste minimization, better work practices, and pollution preven-
    tion opportunities. In addition  to this information, the manual contains
    financial analysis worksheets and case studies designed to help cleaners
    track the cost of process and equipment changes.
»>  Training Program—To encourage the design and operation of "greener"
    cleaning facilities, EPA is sponsoring die development of a curriculum and
    related workshops to train professional cleaners to reduce their use of sol-
    vents. The course focuses on alternative cleaning technologies, particularly
    garment wet cleaning, and includes sections on economics, worker health
    and safety, and liability issues.

When customers come into the store, they see signs indicating that we offer
wet cleaning, and they specify that they want this service. On the whole,
wet cleaning has produced cleaner, fresher looking clothes for my cus-
tomers. —Myeong-Ho Lowe, Utopia Cleaners, Arlington, MA
