Organic Cleaners

This place says it has organic French cleaning.

When people say that they are organic these days if it involves something like dry cleaning, I wonder what they mean.

You have to find out what kind of agents ( chemicals etc. ) are used to know if a place is really "green"--apparently many places claim to be "organic" when they still use dangerous chemicals.

As to the "French Dry Cleaning" I quote from an article in GQ magazine:

"French dry cleaner"

I have been told that a “French dry cleaner” does a more diligent job of cleaning clothes than a regular dry cleaner (irons by hand and does not break buttons). I called several “French cleaners” on Long Island, and they said there really was no difference between French and regular. Is this true, or in other, more civilized parts of the world does French mean better?

At this point in history, there’s no difference. Dry cleaning was once widely known as French cleaning because the process was invented by a Frenchman in the mid-1800s who reputedly noticed that when a kerosene lamp was overturned on a tablecloth, the cloth was rendered remarkably clean. He began experimenting with solvents, and French cleaning was born. The method also became known as dry cleaning, because it doesn’t involve water (and is thus a superior method for cleaning certain fabrics). Today the only difference between a French cleaner and any other cleaner is that a French one may be long established (always a good sign) or have a sense of history (ditto).
