Not all dry cleaners focus on using non-toxic chemicals but Oaks Fine Cleaners prioritizes your health as well as the environment. We are non toxic dry cleaners that use chemicals that naturally occur and will be sure to clean your clothes without using harmful cleaning agents. Our non-toxic dry cleaning techniques used in our everyday dry cleaning are sure to be gentle on your clothing, the environment, and yourself.
Here are some of the non-toxic chemicals we use to be sure you and your clothes are properly taken care of:
- Liquid carbon dioxide (CO2): CO2 is a naturally occurring gas that is non-toxic and non-flammable. It is used in dry cleaning by liquefying it under high pressure and using it to dissolve dirt, fats, and oils from clothing.
- Siloxanes: Siloxanes are a group of silicone-based chemicals that are non-toxic and biodegradable. They are used in dry cleaning to remove stains and prevent shrinkage. Siloxanes are essential to our environmentally friendly cleaning process
- Hydrocarbons: Hydrocarbons are a group of organic compounds that are derived from petroleum. Some hydrocarbons, such as heptane and decane, are non-toxic and can be used in dry cleaning to remove stains without shrinkage or to preserve the fabric for longer.
It is important to note that not all dry cleaners use non-toxic chemicals. Some dry cleaners still use perchloroethylene (perc), which is a toxic chemical that is known to cause cancer.
