Here at The Dry Cleaning Spot we use only wet cleaning methods for cleaning the clothes, not the dry cleaning methods. No trace of chemical is used at our premises for dry cleaning.

Do you use "perc" in your cleaning products?
Perc (short for the chemical name perchloroethylene) is one of the most common chemicals used in dry cleaning, worldwide. Unfortunately, perc is a respiratory and skin irritant, a known neurotoxin, and a carcinogen, and can lead to major health problems in people who are exposed to it. Worse, freshly dry cleaned clothes can sometimes release this chemical into the air of your home. Here at The Dry Cleaning Spot, we use a "wet cleaning" process to get your garments perfectly clean without using this harmful chemical.

Do you use any hazardous or polluting cleaning products?
No. We use environmentally-friendly, totally biodegradable soaps and conditioners to get your garments clean without negatively affecting the environment. We can safely clean "dry clean only" items without the harmful solvents and chemicals that are often used by other dry cleaners.

Are environmentally safe dry cleaning products hard on clothing?
There is a myth that environmentally friendly products are less effective, or that they ruin clothes. This is totally false. Using these products can actually extend the life of your garments, because they are much gentler than the harsh solvents used in traditional dry cleaning. We can remove tough stains without damaging our customer's health or the environment in Hamilton.

Is wet cleaning more expensive than dry cleaning?
No, the prices are comparable. It is really just a difference in choice of products and methods of cleaning, and the cost works out to be about the same. If you care about being green, there is really no reason to choose traditional dry cleaning over a more environmentally friendly alternative.
