check around for orgainc dry cleaners if you dry clean your clothes.
THis is a carbon dioxide cleaning process. CO2 is put under high pressure to convert it into a liquid. This liquid acts as a carrier of biodegradable soaps in much the same way as water does in a washing machine. Once the cycle is done, it turns back into a gas and is mostly reused.Some dry cleaners advertise themselves as organic when they actually use a hydro-carbon solvent called DF-2000. While it's not as toxic it is still petroleum-based.
