There are some establishments, but the costs are about 50-100% more costly than traditional methods. Many have closed. The new trend is called "water only" cleaning (which does have some surfactant).

There are very few in the country. I almost got one few years back, but it came with too many questions. I got Hydro carbon instead. I went to Industry convention in NJ, and Perk is still number 1 selling machines. Hydro carbon is #2, There are wet cleaning machine, which I have at my plant, and Green earth (silicon base solvent) is going out.
CO2 is kind of new, and it has to pressurize to about 200kg/cm. Nobody know what will happen when machine gets older. 600lbs PSI shooting out from machine cannot be good.
When machines get used more (Like 10 years) industry will start to buy them, but not now.

That does not clean anything. It just freezes the cloth and it may even break.

Liquid co2 is expensive. i don't think anyone would pay so much to get it done.
