Dry cleaning is a challenging business. Problems with worker exposure, waste disposal, environmental issues, regulations, restrictions – the list goes on and on. And that’s before you even clean a garment! All of this continues to make it difficult to provide a low-cost service to the dry cleaning customer. The available replacement choices are few, and unlike other alternatives, DrySolv™ is one that actually works! In numerous laboratory and independent cleaning performance tests, pilot studies, and over 3 years of continual customer usage, DrySolv™ has proven that it cleans equal to, if not better than, PERC in all dry cleaning applications; all while doing it with less energy, less time, less environmental impact, less waste, less solvent usage, less….well, less everything. And you know what they say, “sometimes less is more.” So take a minute out of your busy day and use this website to educate yourself on DrySolv™. It may be the “solution” you’ve been looking for.
-Message from Ray Roccon , Dry Cleaning Division Manager – Enviro Tech International, Inc.
Replacing Perc without compromising cleaning performance has been a long-standing problem among the professional cleaning world. Problem solved.....with DrySolv.
DrySolv™ is a patented dry cleaning solvent that is non-chlorinated, non-flammable, non-hazardous, and is vastly more environmentally responsible than PERC. It is a direct replacement for PERC and other cleaning chemicals in the dry cleaning industry that works in your existing PERC dry cleaning machine. Research has shown DrySolv™ to be superior to PERC in that it cleans better, and cleans faster. Because DrySolv™ is non-hazardous, costly issues such as environmental compliance and waste disposal of PERC are eliminated or significantly reduced.
Being “Green” has never been easier with DrySolv. The first environmentally responsible replacement solvent for your dry cleaning machine!
DrySolvä is non-flammable, showing no flashpoint in multiple tests and test methods.(ASTM D-56 TCC, ASTM D-92 COC, ASTM D-93 TCC).
DrySolvä is also non-chlorinated.
DrySolväis non-hazardous.(DOT, OSHA, NESHAP, RCRA, Clean Water Act)
DrySolvä is not a hazardous air pollutant, is SNAP approved, and does not contribute to global warming.(NESHAP, Significant New Alternative Program-SNAP approved (Federal EPA), Not Title V)
The USEPA states that DrySolv’sä main ingredient is less persistent in the environment than many other solvents, is of low to moderate concern for movement in soil, does not warrant listing under the Toxics Release Inventory and is not prone to bioaccumulation. (USEPA - Federal Register May 30, 2007).

Get a “green” advantage over your competitors with DrySolv™, the simple replacement for PERC. The dry cleaning industry demands perfection in the service it provides. Enviro Tech understands this requirement and has the ultimate answer for effective, environmentally safe cleaning in your facility, and DrySolv™ is that answer.
In a world without Perc, what alternative will you chose?
ZÖP Original Scent Detergent
Glee's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" with Oil Spill Images
First of all, what the heck is ZÖP?
ZÖP™ Original Scent liquid laundry detergent is part of a new concept in home laundry detergents that is safe for your clothes and safe for the environment. It is a not-so-well-kept secret of many green dry cleaners and for the first time ever it is being offered to YOU for use at home. It leaves your clothes with a crisp, clean scent (or no scent at all if you prefer) and it's 3x concentrated, which means more clean for your buck. ZÖP™ also comes packed with powerful stain devouring enzymes. In fact, ZÖP™ is not only 100% safe for the environment, but it simply cleans much BETTER than anything you’d ever expect of a “green” detergent.
All natural, non animal-derived enzymes chomp away at fuzz pills that can cause colors to dull and whites to gray, making sure that old t-shirt you just can’t bring yourself to throw away stays looking presentable longer. Our all natural, hypoallergenic and 100% biodegradable formula contains NO carcinogens and NO harsh chemicals, such as phosphates, optical brighteners or borates. And because we love our pets as much as you do, we guarantee that none of our ingredients or products are tested on animals.
What's so great about ZÖP?
Well, lot's of things! Below is a list of reasons why ZÖP™ is better than other p .
·Environmentally Responsible
oWe highly encourage you to do your part to Recycle, Recover and keep your ZÖP™ bottle from ending up in a landfill. Not only that, but we put it in a clear, 100% recyclable bottle that lets you know exactly what you’re getting. Who else does that?
o Get your bottle of ZÖP™ refilled at participating local dry cleaners for less than the cost of a new bottle, or recycle your old ZÖP™ bottle and buy a new one. We do our best to make it easy for you to ensure your used ZÖP™ bottle does not end up in a landfill.
·Cleans Deeply and Thoroughly
oProvides a superb level of cleanliness by penetrating deep down into clothing fibers and lifting soils, breaking them down and suspending them to prevent redeposition. In a nutshell, ZÖP™ is like a heat-seeking missile for stains.
·Protects Color and Prevents Graying
oEnzymatic action snips away frayed fiber ends that can disperse light and cause colors to appear faded, thereby maintaining bright, vibrant colors. ZÖP™’s proprietary formula combines enzymatic action with enhanced cleaning and anti-redeposition complexes to prevent whites from graying and keep them brilliantly white longer.
·Enhances Softness
oZÖP™ conditions your clothes to keep them teddy bear soft and cuddly, without having to add any fabric softeners. And who wouldn’t want to hug a teddy bear?
·Prevents Pills
oJust say NO to pills! ZÖP™ enzymes trim frayed fibers and pills (kind of like split ends and knots) away from your clothes to maintain their overall awesome appearance and cuddly softness.
·Powerful Stain Fighting Action
oZÖP™’s army of all natural enzymes and cleaners work in harmony to munch and scrub away those tough stains. Who needs a bib when you have ZÖP™ in your corner! (Well, some of us should probably keep with the bib. You know who you are! We’re not miracle workers after all).
Where can I get ZÖP?
ZÖP™ is ONLY available at participating dry cleaning stores. It's all part of a new way of thinking about detergent that is environmentally friendly and sustainable. ZÖP™ can be purchased in one of two flavors, Original Scent or Free 'n Clear, in 50 ounce recyclable bottles at your local cleaner. When you run out of ZÖP™, simply bring the empty container back to your cleaner and they will refill it for less than the cost of a new bottle. No waste and less cost. If you would prefer a new bottle of ZÖP™, simply return your old bottle and place it in the recycling bin near the ZÖP™ display. You don't ever have to worry that your bottle will end up in a landfill!
How can I get involved in making the environment safer for future generations?
The reason we created ZÖP™ was to offer a green product for at home use that not only works better than other green (and even brand name) detergents, but provides you with a means of eliminating a specific source of environmental contamination. It allows you to make a simple change that can make a huge difference. Consider this: If every American recycled just 1 out of every 10 HDPE (high density polyethylene) plastic bottles they consume, 200 MILLION pounds of plastic could be kept out of landfills every year. Think about it. That's 1/3 of the total amount of plastic that ends up in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch every single year. With the ZÖP system, you can prevent every single detergent bottle you ever use from ending up in a landfill.
Informational Video on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch by Charles Moore
Our world is in danger, and real change starts with small shifts and adjustments at home. Whether you're a believer in things like global warming or not, it can not be argued that we as human beings are impacting our environment in profoundly negative ways. Consider the recent and massive underwater BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the global epidemic of retreating glaciers and rising sea levels, carbon dioxide emissions from cars causing urban smog, the damage to the precious ozone layer only now being reversed, the great Pacific Garbage Patch in the middle of the ocean and recent findings of a similar Atlantic Garbage Patch. These are all things that we contribute in small ways to every day, directly or indirectly. And it's only through small, and hopefully painless, changes that we can stop them from happening. Please take a look at the various videos and links on these pages to learn more about these issues and for ways that you can do even more, if you wish, to help us protect our planet.
