Apparel cleaned with perc hasn’t been proved to pose a health risk, but people living in buildings with perc-using machines may be adversely affected by the fumes. As a result, all dry cleaners located in residential buildings will have to phase out perc by 2020.

This year, however, we made an additional stop in Fort Bragg — this one at the North Coast Brewing Co. store — and we’re adding it to our list of regulars.
