Is PERC (Perchloroethylene ) still used in dry cleaning?

Its use is declining and heavily regulated. As of 2023-2024, PERC Perchloroethylene is still the most common solvent in use in many traditional dry-cleaning shops, especially in the United States. However, due to health and environmental regulations, it is being phased out in many regions (notably California and the EU). Alternatives like hydrocarbon solvents, liquid silicone (GreenEarth), and professional wet cleaning are increasingly adopted. New PERC-based dry-cleaning machines are banned in several jurisdictions.
