Stone-Washed Denim Dilemma

摘要

The Neighborhood Cleaners Association (NCA) reports that a proposal to ban perchloroethy-lene (perc) in Chicago was further amended last month to protect dry cleaners in residential buildings and hotels. Alderman Edward M. Burke originally called for a complete ban on perc within city limits as early as July of this year, but had already amended the proposed ordinance following meetings with local cleaners and industry organizations, including the International Fabricare Institute (IFT), the Illinois State Fabricare Association (ISFA) and the Korean Drycleaners Association (KDA).
