Safe Home Dry Cleaning Method Outlined
Ellen Agren of Utah State College Extension states home dry cleaning can be safe with proper solvent. Use commercial dry cleaning solvent with flash point above 100F and avoid naphtha gasoline due to explosion risk. Follow a three vessel system with benzine soap in the first, rinse steps in second and third, and keep the third vessel clean as evaporation proceeds.
