Cleaning in GreenEarth silicone solution is different in two important ways. First, it has very low surface tension, and is very light in weight. Surface tension is what causes water to “bead up” on fabric. GreenEarth’s low surface tension allows it to more effectively penetrate the fabric fibers and lubricate away the dirt particles. And because it weighs a lot less than perc, silicone cleans and rinses more gently, reducing wear and tear on fabrics.
Second, liquid silicone is chemically inert, meaning it does not chemically react with textile fabric or dyes during the cleaning process. This minimizes abrasion to and/or swelling of fabric fibers, eliminates traditional issues with removal of dyes and optical brighteners, helps maintain the soft hand of garments, and prevents shrinkage.
Result? A wider variety of clothes can be safely cleaned with GreenEarth. Delicate silks, suede and leather trims, beads, sequins, painted garments, specialty buttons and trims, couture garments, heirloom fabrics and other “problem” items are no problem at all. And, unlike petroleum based solvents like perc or hydrocarbon, liquid silicone is odorless, so there is no lingering chemical smell on clothes.

Why GreeenEarth is great for fabric such as Cashmere? The clear advantage of GreenEarth solvent is it’s ability to quickly penetrate the delicate cashmere fibers and carry away the embedded soils without roughing the fiber or warping the yarn twists like the harshness of perc. Owners of cashmere garments purchase them as an investment in clothing and the use of GreenEarth maintains that same soft, luxurious feel as when it was purchased.
UNDERSTANDING DRY CLEANING: Beyond Water and Soap
Dry cleaning is a specialized cleaning process that goes beyond the traditional water and detergent methods commonly used for laundering. It is particularly well-suited for delicate fabrics, intricate designs, and garments that are susceptible to damage when exposed to water.
In our personalized laundry and dry cleaning service, every garment receives meticulous attention. We initiate the process by conducting individual inspections to identify any pre-existing issues and to ensure adherence to care labels for the appropriate cleaning method. Every garment is personalized through a procedure called detailing, guaranteeing their distinct identity throughout the cleaning process until they are returned to your possession.

It is also non-allergenic and commonly found in everyday shampoos and body lotions.
