Why we’re different
Renzacci alternative solvent system
Designed with the environment in mind, the Renzacci alternative solvent system consumes 40% less energy and 70% less water on average, compared to standard Perc dry cleaning machines used by the majority of businesses locally. PERC is the standard cleaning process used in the dry cleaning business, but not at Wash and Sew in Oxford.
PERC has been listed as a hazardous air pollutant by the Clean Air Act in the US and a probable human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Consumers Union, the not-for-profit publisher of Consumer Reports, again in the US, has said that long-term exposure could increase the cancer risk for consumers who wear a lot of dry-cleaned clothes.
But there are much better alternatives and at Wash and Sew we use both the latest technology and the best cleaning materials available. Non toxic and environmentally friendly.
Not only that, clothes don’t have that faint smell you get from the chemicals used in traditional dry cleaning.
