New Ideas to Cut Down on Plastic


I learned about this site from Ideal Bite. Ideally we don't want to use a Dry Cleaner at all, because the chemicals used in the process of dry cleaning are really bad for us and the environment. Not to mention the waste involved! Look at all the plastic they use to wrap those clothes after "cleaning" them!

I have a few clothes that need to be dry-cleaned and they have been sitting around my house not being worn for close to 2 years because I just couldn't bring myself to go to the dry cleaners anymore. Well, good thing I didn't get rid of them because I found a Dry Cleaners locally that cleans clothes using liquid carbon dioxide. It claims to be non-toxic, non-hazardous, non-carcinogenic and has no chemical smell!

I can't wait to try it. If you live in the San Diego area you can find one closest to you at:
Hangers Cleaners.

Then you can take your Clothesnik bag with you and help cut down on plastic waste too!
