The average American woman spends nearly $1,500 in dry cleaning in a single year. What?!
Studies show that trace amounts of the solvent perchloroethylene–which the EPA has labeled a “likely human carcinogen” can remain in your garment as a result of dry cleaning. Clean it yourself and save all that money. Think of all the things you could buy. Websites like care2/com show you how to clean certain fabrics on your own. With that much extra money, you can stock your closet with a gorgeous leather bag, worthy enough to hand down to future generations, 2 pairs of designer jeans, ballet flats, leather boots, a classic blazer, a scarf, and basics like t-shirts and sweaters. I mean, that’s all you need for the entire year. And you won’t have to dry clean any of it.
