East Coast School announces November,
December classes
Four more classes have been announced for
the East Coast School of Dry Cleaning for the months of November and December.
Located at 1965 West 9th Street in
Riviera Beach, FL, the school’s facilities offers
hands-on training by experienced industry experts.
On Saturday, Nov. 5, instructors Steve
Jennings and Rayner Canedo will offer a course entitled
“Introduction to Basic Spotting.”
The class is ideally suited for people
who have just entered the drycleaning industry or who simply
want to update their spotting skills.
An “Advanced Silk Spotting”
class will be offered later in the month on Saturday, Nov. 19.
Instructor Dan Eisen will discuss
handling high end garments and the proper use of bleach, as
well as a variety of other topics such as the correction of dye
bleeding, fluorescent dye breakdown and the removal of
difficult stains.
The school will host two additional
classes in December, as well, starting with a “Counter
Training” class on Saturday, Dec. 3, which will also
taught by Eisen with additional help from Steve Jennings.
Both men will explain how to properly
inspect for problem garments at the front counter using a
“spectralight” in the detection of stains and
problem fabrics.
Finally, on Saturday, Dec. 10,
instructors Eisen and Canedo will be back in the classroom once
again to offer tips on wetcleaning, including the proper use of
wetcleaning chemicals to clean wools, silks and other fabrics
safely.
Students will also learn the proper use
of chemicals to set dyes, soften fabrics and prevent shrinkage,
as well as how to properly program wetcleaning equipment.

Correction
A story in the October issue incorrectly
stated that the North Carolina Association of Launderers and
Cleaners hosted an equipment show in Kernersville, NC, last
month. NCALC was not involved in sponsorship or hosting of the
Tri-State Laundry Equipment Co. show.
