A little about our cleaning process:
- All clothing items are thoroughly washed, steamed, and checked over twice by our Quality Assurance team before being packed and shipped.
- We use hypoallergenic, unscented detergent on all garments
I can tell you, the clothes have a scent, a pleasant scent, but they are not unscented. Also, it says on the site that some items are dry cleaned.
All Products will be professionally cleaned and delivered ready to wear for each consumer. We tumble wash and / or dry clean and inspect each product with the utmost care, but use of the product is at your own risk and Le Tote, Inc. shall not be held liable for any health-related complaints associated with a product rented from our site.
This concerned me, because dry cleaning can be bad for the environment, and there is a common agent called tetrachloroethylene, PERC, which may cause miscarriage. Le Tote offers maternity rentals, it is unknown if the amount of the chemical left on clothing is significant, however, I asked the company about this on the phone, by email, on twitter, and on facebook, and only got this reply:
