How long does it take to get a baby's outfit back from the dry cleaners?

Question

My son's getting baptised and it's my brothers outfit from 18 years ago, so how would you recommend I clean it if not the dry cleaners???? And don't they steam it what kind of chemicals would they use?

Answer 1

i really hope you are not exposing your baby to the chemicals a dry cleaner uses!

The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences states that: "Short-term exposure to PERC can cause adverse health effects on the nervous system that include dizziness, fatigue, headaches, sweating, incoordination, and unconsciousness. Long-term exposure can cause liver and kidney damage." The International Association for Research on Cancer classifies perc as a probable carcinogen.

their are safe alternatives

EDIT; hand wash in woolite, or vinegar( a very safe,& enviro friendly alternative) also some dry cleaners have started using safer methods.

well fine dry clean it, it should take a week.

After you dress your baby in toxins why dont you go buy it a cell, ya know just to make sure its set for cancer,  dont forget the lead teething ring, & mercury supplements!

Answer 2

I wouldn't dry-clean clothes for kids (and rarely for adults).  That dry-cleaning fluid is chock full of nasty chemicals.
