Dry cleaning permits
Dry cleaning uses solvents and volatile organic compounds which are air pollutants and harmful to humans and the environment. This is why you need a permit from us to operate a dry cleaning machine in Islington.
Operating without a permit is an offence with a maximum unlimited penalty and/or five years' imprisonment.
