There is a new dry cleaning process developed by a professor at
UNC-Chapel Hill, NC, which uses CO2 to clean material. It has
recently become available commercially in the Chapel Hill area and
claims to be an environmentally friendly process as well as using
none of the harsher solvents. Maybe some one else on the list will
know more information to add such as a specific address, or you
could look it up on the Net.
