The GreenMethod®

 

Mayfair Cleaners uses the GreenMethod® dry cleaning process because it takes better care of fabrics, the people who wear them and the planet where we live. 

 

 

What Makes The GreenMethod® 

Process So Unique?

 

Most dry cleaners today clean using petrochemical solvents. About 70% use perchloroethylene (perc), classified by the EPA as an air and water toxin and a likely human carcinogen.

 

The GreenMethod® process is a kinder clean. Silicone is a clear, gentle, odor-free solution. It is non-toxic and non-hazardous and the EPA sees no need to regulate its use. That’s because silicone is essentially liquefied sand. When released to the environment it safely breaks down into the three natural elements it is made from: sand (SiO2) and trace amounts of water and carbon dioxide.

 

By replacing petrochemicals with pure liquid silicone, GreenMethod® delivers an impeccable clean without exposing your clothes or the environment to harmful chemicals. Unlike petroleum solvent, which actually wears away surface fibers during the cleaning process, liquid silicone is chemically inert - it doesn't chemically react with fabric fibers, it just carries the detergent to your clothes and gently carries away soils.

 

Colors stay bright and whites won’t yellow, even after repeated cleaning. Fabrics feel better too - smooth, silky, and supple. Because the GreenMethod® cleans without being abrasive or aggressive, leaching dyes or damaging trims, your fine silks, cashmere, wool, lace, beads, sequins and even garments labeled “Do not dry clean” are safe with us!
