For convenience, modern people are used to taking clothes to the laundry to dry clean, but the solvent used for dry cleaning of clothes does have adverse effects on human health. Dry cleaning uses detergents or solvents to remove stains on clothes. The solvent may be alcohol, mineral oil, etc.
At present, the most common solvent for dry cleaning is tetrachloroethylene, and the gas absorbed by the skin can cause dizziness, nausea and other symptoms. In addition, a research report by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency shows that the gas emitted by slightly damp dry-cleaned clothes is one of the substances that pollute indoor air. The bags containing dry-cleaning clothes will retain those toxin solvents.
Experts point out that it is best to wear clothes that do not require dry cleaning. If your clothes must be dry-cleaned, then you should immediately remove the plastic cover after taking the dry-cleaned clothes home, and hang the clothes in a ventilated place, and then wear them after the dry-cleaning solvent on the clothes evaporates.
