What advantages are there with CO2 dry-cleaning, when compared with traditional dry-cleaning processes?
Tests indicate that the CO2 method produces less greying and color bleeding than traditional processes. It also removes pigments, soiling and body odor more efficiently. These excellent cleaning properties allow faster cleaning cycles, not least due to the instant drying procedure. The solvent used, liquid CO2, does not result in any hazardous waste. Unless hazardous material is introduced from some other source, waste disposal is not necessary. CO2 is a natural by-product of many industrial and natural processes. It is also non-toxic, unless inhaled in high concentration. It is non-flammable, non-ozone depleting or smog producing.
