It's called "perc" which is an abbreviation for word I can't spell and don't need to. What I can spell is C-A-N-C-E-R, which has been tied to exposure to perc. The California EPA lists it as one of the 10 most toxic chemicals posing a threat to the environment. It is baaaad stuff. So avoid it at all costs, and when you do need to have something dry cleaned (commercial wet cleaning is better and available) immediately remove the plastic bag when you get home and air out your duds before putting 'em in your closet. Oh, yeah, love the brush.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-17216265258806861222010-08-25T09:15:27.997-04:002010-08-25T09:15:27.997-04:00Main Line- Cheap too.

A steamer and a good brush are all you need. My brush came from Taylors in Jermyn street and I've been using it for years. It doesn't look quite nice as the Kent one but has exactly the same silk hanging cord.Brummagem Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998868549766033751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-6295029917504115812010-08-24T05:48:12.969-04:002010-08-24T05:48:12.969-04:00Hi Wendy,

I'm betting Alice Olive knows a decent dry cleaner - she may wanna chime in here.<br /><br />Family Man- Sounds like a beautiful brush.

In addition to using it to clean my hats with, I also use it as a clothes brush. An indispensible part of personal haberdashery.<br /><br />Cheaper than cleaning, and less time-consuming, too.<br /><br />Of course, it doesn't have the appeal of the brushes sold at "The Brush Project." Their ergonomic handles are made of exotic woods like mahogany, striped ebony, koa, and curly maple, and their bristles are made of rare meerkat whiskers. They say their brushes are "heirloom quality"; for the price, they'd better be.Family Mannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-28544414125912162362010-08-23T12:34:04.237-04:002010-08-23T12:34:04.237-04:00I'm desperately looking for a new dry cleaner ...I'm desperately looking for a new dry cleaner in NYC...someone I can trust!
