How much more expensive is green dry cleaning?

Question

I have some sweaters I need cleaned, and thought I'd try the environmentally friendly cleaners. Does anyone know what the prices are generally like, compared to regular dry cleaning?

Answer 1

What do you mean by "green dry cleaning"?  Generally, that refers to a cleaner using a solvent other than perchloroethylene (perc).  Some use a hydrocarbon solvent, some use a silicon-based solvent and others use a liquid carbon dioxide solvent.  The prices may be a little higher due to the higher costs involved in using the "green solvents" including a substantial investment in new equipment in order to use the newer, "greener" solvents

Answer 2

It shouldn't be any different it just means they switched to an environmentally friendly solvent, their prices shouldn't have changed any.
