Why Wash-and-Fold Services Are the Smarter, Safer Choice Over Dry Cleaning in Montreal

When it comes to caring for your clothes, the choice between dry cleaning and wash-and-fold services can impact your health, the environment, and your wallet. At Propre-Prêt-Lessive, a proudly Montreal-based laundry service, we’re committed to offering a safer, more sustainable, and more affordable alternative to traditional dry cleaning. Here’s what you need to know.

Health and Safety: Protect Your Family

Dry cleaning often uses a solvent called perchloroethylene (perc), classified by Health Canada and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a likely carcinogen. Prolonged exposure to perc can lead to health risks, including respiratory issues, dizziness, and potential links to cancer.

In contrast, our wash-and-fold service avoids harmful chemicals altogether. By using water and certified biodegradable detergents, Propre-Prêt-Lessive ensures your clothes are cleaned safely, keeping your home free of toxic substances. Our eco-friendly approach is better for you, your family, and the professionals who handle your garments.

Environmentally Friendly: A Greener Choice

The chemicals used in dry cleaning can contaminate soil, water, and air, creating long-term environmental harm. By choosing Propre-Prêt-Lessive, you’re making a choice that’s kinder to the planet:

• We use energy-efficient machines to reduce energy consumption.

  
  

Caring for Your Clothes: Everyday Garments and Specialty Items

Dry cleaning is often recommended for delicate fabrics like silk or wool. However, for the majority of your wardrobe—cotton, linen, and synthetics—our wash-and-fold service is a superior choice. For specialty or delicate items, we provide personalized care instructions to ensure your garments stay in top condition.
