Many dry cleaners use a toxin called perchloroethylene, or perc, and the plastic bags that they put over your dry cleaned clothes trap in this toxin and it can be harmful when inhaled. So, ask your dry cleaner if they use perc. If so, consider switching to one that doesn’t. Some cleaners are using liquid CO2 and this is fine. Another option is to remove the plastic cover and let your clothes hang outside (not in your house) for about an hour to get rid of the perc toxins.
