Green Earth Cleaning It is a non toxic method, in which liquid silicon is used for dry cleaning method, which not only helps in maintaining the quality but help in increasing the life of fabric.

Liquid carbon dioxide dry cleaning A non toxic dry cleaning alternative, using carbon dioxide as the main solvent.
