And given the government restrictions on dry cleaning solvent, I think you're going to have problems finding someone who can do this, ESPECIALLY in California. The only thing I can think of would be to contact some of the industry associations (such as the International Fabricare Institute, http://www.ifi.org/) and see if they have anyone they can recommend. Or see if there's someone using alternative solvents in your area -- I believe the liquid CO2 method requires a pressurized machine, so wouldn't work for you, but I don't know about Rynex or GreenEarth.
