ugh still working on perfumed Poshmark pants

Anybody know / know how to find a dry cleaner that uses the liquid CO2 process in the Raleigh/Durham NC USA (zip: 27517) area? Apparently that's best for removing perfume.

Thanks. Not asking for a friend.

You might have better luck asking Reddit - there's a Triangle sub, as well as subs for Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Durham (bullcity), and Raleigh.

Try Z-Koretizing in Durham.

^Sorry, OP -- there's debate about this company's process, and I've flagged my answer for removal.

Response by poster: Iris G - Could you please link to any details about that? I looked at their site, and I was curious but not totally clear on what their deal was. I saw the yucky-looking chemical description (hydrocarbons, I think?), but would want more info than "yucky looking" before, you know, giving up.

Apologies, amtho, only seeing this now. I'd found NC.gov's "suspected contaminated dry cleaning sites" doc and a couple of other sites after answering. On re-read, the companies listed are "Koretizing" and "One Hour Koretizing," not "Z-Koretizing." You're still right about Z-K; they advertise organic/eco-friendly/hypoallergenic methods and use hydrocarbons.
