Tetrachloroethylene, the product that is primarily used in the dry-cleaning
industry, is a non flammable product. The new dry cleaning equipment
purchased by the owner of the plant, is a fully self contained machine which will
not emit fumes or chemicals. Dry Cleaning fluid is expensive and is distilled so
that it can be used several times over. Old chemical and filters are kept in
sealed containers and are disposed of by professionals, such as Dow Chemical.
The dry cleaning industry is highly regulated by the government. The building
will have Louvre doors in the front and a ventilation system through the roof. Dry
cleaning will be for the Friendswood store only and drainage will be contained on
