East Coast Drycleaning school sets summer
classes
As outside temperatures rise, the last
thing many cleaners want to do is spend more time in the back
of a hot drycleaning plant. Instead, cleaners can opt for a
somewhat cooler environment by attending summer classes at the East Coast School of Drycleaning.
The school, located in Riviera Beach, FL,
will offer several courses in the coming months with live
demonstrations and hands-on training, as well as classroom
instruction.
An “Introduction to Basic
Spotting” class taught by instructor Rick Watson is
scheduled for Saturday, July 9. It is intended for both
newcomers to the industry and for those who want to update
their spotting skills.
Two weeks later, Dan Eisen will teach an
advanced silk spotting class on July 23. He will focus his
attention on procedures for high-end garments, such as the use
of bleach correction of dye bleeding, fluorescent dye breakdown
and the removal of difficult stains.
On August 13, Eisen will be back in the
classroom for an in-depth examination of counter training. The
course will specifically cover the inspection process of
problem garments and the use of “Spectralight” in
the detection of stains and problem fabrics.
Finally, both Eisen and Watson will work
together for a wetcleaning course planned on August 27.
Students will learn the proper use of wetcleaning chemicals to
clean wools, silks and other fabrics safely, as well as the
proper use of chemicals to set dyes, soften fabrics and prevent
shrinkage.
The proper programming of wetcleaning
equipment will be discussed, as well.
The school is located at 1965 West 9th
St. For more information, or to register, contact the school
toll free at (866) 783-3322.
