You bet it's an interesting question. Because this may well forecast the future of the entire drycleaning industry. Over the years, Rema and all other industry suppliers have experienced the harsh impact of synthetic fabrics, so called "washables", "wrinkle-free" clothing, jeans, deliberately unfinished styles and, more recently, the growing concern related to use of petrochemical solvents. Yet, there isn't a single environmental or health reason why we shouldn't remove the continuing threats to the air which we all breathe. At the same time, we should remember that advancing technology is on the edge of achieving goals for producing cleaning

formulae that are safe, thorough and economical. It is also wise to consider that as our society grows, more and more people will require fresh, well groomed attire for daily use. That's where quality finishing becomes more and more important. It follows that fabricare professionals who want to achieve faster, better results also wish to reduce the use of energy and steam consumption. Add to this assurances of maintaining a safe, plentiful water supply. Consequently, any "solvent" choice that tomorrow may bring carries with it a bright, new growth potential for the committed plantowner.
