Commit to Safer Dry Cleaning Practices

The dry cleaning industry is undergoing a critical shift toward safer, more sustainable chemical practices. Perchloroethylene (perc)—a solvent linked to serious health risks for workers and the environment—is being phased out in favor of greener alternatives. This Dry Cleaning Chemical Safety Pledge template helps dry cleaning businesses formally commit to eliminating hazardous chemicals, protecting worker health, and adopting best-in-class garment care standards.

Who This Pledge Is For

This form is designed for:

• Dry cleaning business owners transitioning to perc-free operations
• Garment care facilities seeking to demonstrate environmental responsibility
• Industry associations coordinating safety commitments across members
• Green business certification programs requiring documented chemical safety pledges
• Commercial laundry services serving healthcare, hospitality, and corporate clients

Why Chemical Safety Pledges Matter

Formal commitments create accountability, build customer trust, and protect your team. By publicly pledging to phase out harmful solvents and adopt safer alternatives, dry cleaners can differentiate their business, meet evolving regulatory requirements, and contribute to a healthier industry standard.
