Dry cleaning
Perchloroethylene — In use since the 1940s, perc is the most common solvent, the "standard" for cleaning performance, and strongest cleaner. It can cause color loss, especially at higher temperatures, and may destroy special trims, buttons, and beads on some garments. Better for oil-based stains (which account for about 10% of stains) than water-soluble stains (coffee, wine, blood, etc.). Perc is nonflammable and has low toxicity but can be harmful to skin.
