The dry cleaning industry and wash and fold segment has an average annual market of $9 billion, 30,000 locations, and employs approximately 250,000 workers. A typical dry cleaning firm employs 7-10 workers and brings in $330,000 per year.

 

Traditionally, the dry cleaning process was carried out at centralized factories and processing plants; dry cleaner shops received garments from customers, sent them to the factory, and then had them returned to the shop, where the customer could collect them (this was due mainly to the risk of fire or dangerous fumes created by the cleaning process). Usually, dry cleaning stores are open Monday through Friday from 8AM to 6PM and open only half day on Saturdays or closed on weekends.

 

On July 13, 2006 the final air toxic requirements for dry cleaners using perc was issued. The new rules include a phase-out of perc machines located in residential buildings. By 2020, dry cleaning machines in residential buildings will be prohibited from using perc. The main goals of the new standards is to decrease overall perc emissions in all dry cleaners while focusing on the cleaners that are located in residential buildings, where the greatest risk to the general population exists.
