Debunking the Myth: Why GreenEarth Cleaning Delivers Superior Results Without Aggressive Chemicals
There’s a common misconception in the dry cleaning industry: environmentally non-toxic dry cleaning solvents can’t possibly clean as well as traditional solvents.
At GreenEarth Cleaning, we’ve heard this myth many times, and we’re here to set the record straight. Our patented silicone-based dry cleaning system isn’t just better for the planet—it’s proven to clean garments as effectively as traditional dry cleaning methods while better preserving the texture, look, and feel of garments.
The Science Behind GreenEarth Cleaning
GreenEarth uses a pure liquid silicone (D5) cleaning solution, which is chemically inert and environmentally non-toxic. Unlike traditional perchloroethylene (perc) or petroleum-based solvents, GreenEarth’s fluid doesn’t “strip” fabrics with aggressive chemicals.
Gentle on fibers: Because it’s chemically inert and has a low surface tension, it doesn’t cause shrinkage, fading, or fiber damage, maintaining the look and restoring a soft hand to garments.
Deep cleaning: Silicone molecules have low surface tension, allowing them to penetrate even the smallest fibers and gently carry stains away from the garment, leaving the garment looking like new.
Odor-free results: No harsh chemical smells, just fresh and clean garments.
Does Green Mean Weaker Cleaning Power?
Absolutely Not.
GreenEarth has been tested in and out of the lab extensively to prove its efficacy compared to traditional solvents while protecting the integrity of the garments. Furthermore, GreenEarth’s performance has been confirmed for over 25 years and 6000 retail cleaning sites worldwide that rely on the cleaning power of GreenEarth.
Independent Lab Results:

Stain removal efficacy: GreenEarth was found to be an acceptable alternative to Perc in removing common stains, such as oil, makeup, and perspiration.
Whiteness retention: Fabrics cleaned with GreenEarth retained more brightness over repetitive cleaning cycles compared to fabrics cleaned with Perc.
Fabric life extension: A natural conclusion is that garments last longer when the process is gentle and reduces fiber stress.
Real-World Proof: Businesses See and Smell the Difference.
Hotels and dry cleaners using GreenEarth consistently report odor-free results, brilliant color retention, a softer hand, and longer-lasting garments.
Luxury hotels and dry cleaners noticed a reduction in claims and finishing time, saving brand reputation and labor time.
Major Retail Brands support GreenEarth as the suggested cleaning method for garments’ after-care to protect the textiles, specialty garment features, extend the lifespan, and keep garments from landfills.
Corporate rental businesses find garments last longer in cleaning cycles, reducing replacement costs when cleaned in GreenEarth.
Gentle on Fabrics = Better Cleaning Results
More aggressive solvents can leave behind odors, affect the texture, break down dyes, and weaken fibers over time. GreenEarth’s pure silicone solution leaves nothing behind but clean clothes:
Colors stay vibrant and garments have no harsh chemical smell, improving customer satisfaction.
No damage to trims or specialty fabrics, so it’s ideal for high-end garments.
Why This Matters for a Business:
Happier customers: Cleaner garments with no odor, colors stay brilliant without shrinkage, and look like new.
Lower claims costs and enhanced brand image: The Gentler process prolongs fabric life, minimizes damage, and keeps garments out of landfills, increasing customer satisfaction.
Stronger brand image: Today’s customers want true sustainable eco-conscious solutions without compromise.
If you’ve been holding back because you thought “eco-friendly” meant “less effective,” it’s time to rethink. GreenEarth Cleaning proves you can deliver premium cleaning results and be a good environmental steward at the same time
