Dry Cleaning: Not so clean. 

Data from the city shows that most dry cleaners in Toronto are using a toxic substance called "perc" to remove stains. Perc is on Toronto's "Toxic 25" list.

Use TEA's scorecard to ask your dry cleaner how your clothes are cleaned.  Then explore the science and all the cleaning options on TEA's Wet Cleaning resources page.

To take the scorecard to your local dry cleaner, you can download it here. You can also fill in the results and send them to us using our online form.
