==History==
Tetrachloroethylene was created in 1839 in France. Her early life is unknown, but it is thought that she spent her early life with [[Carbon Tetrachloride]] who introduced her to dry-cleaning later in the 20th century (around the 1940s). Tetrachloroethylene had a short career in veterinary medicine (presumably in the 1920s, right after C. Tetrachloride) and refrigeration. Tetrachloroethylene loved dry-cleaning. She allowed [[Trichloroethylene]], who started dry-cleaning a decade before her, to work with her. Trichloroethylene saw Perchloroethylene as a rival and considered herself superior to Perchloroethylene. After Trichloroethylene lost her job in dry-cleaning, Tetrachloroethylene became more dominant in the area. There had been many other Chemicals that tried to overthrow her from dry-cleaning. Some Hydrocarbons and [[Propyl Bromide I]] attempted to replace Perchloroethylene, but none of them was as successful as she was.
