Sorry that I'm not really up to date on this, since in a former life, I
was an industrial organic chemist.

I think that I saw something recently about a ban on TCE. I have used
Bestine once or twice, but not enough to recommend other than to GUESS
that Bestine would be somewhat better for us than TCE from a health
standpoint. Bestine may or may not perform better in covering.
