DRY CLEANER SALES

Environmental contamination from the use of perchloroethylene, a dry-cleaning solvent, has resulted in accidental or intentional release of the chemicals into the soil or groundwater costing an average of $500,000 per cleanup.

Even though many dry-cleaning operators manage the hazardous waste in full compliance with the laws and equipment technology have improved substantially, fear of environmental liability and regulatory scrutiny has affected some retail property owners. They simply refuse leasing to dry cleaners which negatively impacts the marketability of the business. Federal and state environmental liability laws and provisions can often cause sellers and investors to incur enormous cleanup liability even where they are not responsible for the contamination.
