GreenEarth Drycleaning Solution

The GreenEarth Solution is based on silicone chemistry, not on carbon-backbone chemistry. The GreenEarth Solution has undergone extensive testing and has demonstrated no significant adverse health or environmental effects.

The Solution acts as a buoyant carrier, just as water does, rather than a chemically aggressive solvent. It carries detergent towards garments and carries dirt away from them. The Solution significantly reduces dye pull for greater color retention in the drycleaning process.

The GreenEarth Solution is odorless. No odor is left on the garments after the drying cycle is completed. This means no odor in shoulder pads of suit coats or in cotton sweaters where you would normally expect it.

The hand of the garments is excellent. Some who have observed it have said it looks as though the garments had gone through a mineral bath. This, along with garments that are wrinkle-free and static-free, allows for greater ease in finishing.

The specific gravity of the Solution is .95. It weighs 7.9 pounds per gallon. It is very close to water. The flashpoint of the solution is about 170 F. This qualifies for Class II and Class IIIA machines since they require a flashpoint between 100 to 200 F.

Prestige Cleaners in Sacramento became the first Alpha/Beta test site using the GreenEarth Solution in November 1998. The California Air District in Sacramento found that no permitting would be required. Prestige Cleaners has been processing an average of 3,000 pounds of textiles per week solely in the GreenEarth Solution.

The performance of the GreenEarth Solution has been outstanding. All who have seen it, including experienced drycleaners, industry regulators, leaders of our trade associations, and our customers, believe it is superior in every way. "It really is good for everybody!"
