Green Your Dry Cleaning

Green Your Dry Cleaning

Certain chemicals commonly used in dry cleaning have been shown to cause depression and anxiety among people who work with them. While your exposure to those chemicals when picking up your suits and dresses is certainly lower, why risk it? Search for "green" or "organic" dry cleaners in your area or, if you're not willing to change, at least take the plastic off your freshly laundered clothes and allow them to air out (preferably outside) before you wear them.
