6 cancer-causing items hiding in your home (slideshow)
2. Dry-cleaned clothes
The clothes hanging in your closet could be a major source of carcinogens in your home… especially if you have them dry-cleaned. Having your clothes dry cleaned is terrible for your health because conventional dry cleaners use a cancer-causing chemical called perchlorethylene (PERC) to clean your clothes. Long-term exposure to PERC has been shown to cause leukemia and cancer of the skin, colon, lung, larynx, bladder, and urogenital tract.
Now, you don’t have to get rid of your dry-clean only clothes. Just stop taking them to a conventional dry cleaner. Instead, take them to an organic dry cleaner who uses safer cleaning methods. One of the most popular organic cleaning methods is CO2 cleaning, which uses pressurized liquid carbon dioxide to clean your clothes.
