Dry cleaning your clothes isn't just a matter of additional expenses.In fact, the most common solvent in dry cleaning detergents today is perchloroethylene.If the skin absorbs tetrachlorethylene gas, it will damage the liver, affect the central nervous system, cause dizziness, nausea and other symptoms, and may cause cancer.The US Environmental Protection Agency's research report shows that the gas emitted from slightly damp dry-cleaned clothes is one of the substances that pollute indoor air.Therefore, it is recommended that you try to reduce dry-cleaning as much as possible. If dry-cleaning is necessary, it is best to put the dry-cleaned clothes in a ventilated place for a few hours before hanging them in the closet.
