Greenwashing

Be Careful of the term “Organic”

When it comes to dry cleaning, “organic” is sometimes being used by cleaners in a way that can only be described as deceitful. The reason? Any chemical with a carbon backbone is “organic”. By that reasoning, PERC, the harmful chemical that is banned in certain areas of the country can be called “Organic”.

Cleaners that use the next most popular type of cleaning solvent, called Hydrocarbon, are also using a bit of word-play when they use the term Organic. Although a bit better than PERC, Hydrocarbon is still a Petroleum based solvent that is considered a “VOC” (Volatile Organic Compound).
