East Coast School hosts two October
courses in Florida
Many garment problems slip by at the
front counter unnoticed, causing cleaners a few headaches down
the road.
However, if a counter employee knows how
to properly inspect the clothes as they come in, then those
headaches will certainly decrease.
On Saturday, Oct. 8, the East Coast
School of Dry Cleaning will
cover the topic of front counter garment inspection with an
emphasis on how to use a “spectralight” to detect
stains and problem fabrics more easily.
The course, taught by instructor Dan
Eisen, will be held at the school’s facilities located at
1965 West 9th Street in Riviera Beach, FL.
Students will also learn about the most
effective communication techniques for interacting with
customers, how to upsell, and how to communicate with customers
about their garments. Eisen will also discuss fabric and stain
identification, as well as the roles and responsibilities of
the people at the counter.
Next up for the school will be a
wetcleaning course on Saturday, Oct. 22, which will be taught
by Eisen along with Rick Watson.
Both men will discuss the proper use of
wetcleaning chemicals to clean wools, silks and other fabrics
safely.
The class will also cover the proper use
of chemicals to set dyes, soften fabrics and prevent shrinkage.
Additionally, cleaners will learn about
the proper programming of wetcleaning equipment, the sales
aspects of wetcleaning, wetcleaning production procedures and
technologies, and garment compatibility.
Each course will cost $250 per person.
