A Comparative Analysis of Perc Dry Cleaning and An Alternative Wet Cleaning Processs

Abstract:

Most people don't think about how their clothes are going to be cleaned when they drop them off at a neighborhood dry cleaner. They are only interested in receiving professionally cleaned and pressed clothing, at a reasonable price, within a short amount of time. But the cleaning method a professional cleaner chooses affects the environment, human health, the profitability of the business, the number of regulations with which the business must comply, and the cleanliness and appearance of the clothes.
