he numbers from New Orleans are in and I’m not surprised they are down a little from the Las Vegas show of two years ago. I was pleased when exhibitors told me the crowd included many decisionmakers focused on acquiring tools to bolster their business.

Attendance is the simplest indicator of a show’s “success” (from the exhibitor’s perspective, more Bruce Beggs people equals more chances to make a sale), but I believe the true value of the Clean Show may not be known for months or even years.

CHICAGO – Many dry cleaners who attended Clean ’13 in New Orleans report they are more likely to do business with a certain company based on information they received there, according to July’s American Drycleaner Wire survey.

Eighty percent of respondents said they are more likely to do business with a certain manufacturer, distributor or supplier based on their show experience. Ten percent rejected that notion, and the remaining 10% were not sure.

Among survey respondents, 41% attended this year’s show and 59% did not. The majority of those who did not attend said they couldn’t work it into their schedule (41.7%), while one-third explained that their “budget didn’t allow it.” Roughly 17% of respondents had “no interest in attending,” while 8.3% had someone else from their staff make the trip. Among other reasons cited were the show’s location this year. “(I have a) new business and couldn’t make it,” writes one dry cleaner. “Also, I would never go to (New Orleans) in the summer, (it is) too hot and humid.”

Among respondents, the show’s

tee on ses is

One dry cleaner said the show’s experimental three-day schedule wasn’t long enough for his/her liking, while another respondent said the shorter event enhanced his/her focus. “Three days forced me to make sure I stayed on the floor until close.

I saved a night’s expense and feel I saw more than usual.”

Exhibit categories of interest to respondents ranged from general dry cleaning and laundry supplies, to heavier machines such as finishing equipment and commercial, retail equipment. Specific products of interest included solvents and a cleaning technology that uses beads.

Attendees also could attend various educational sessions catered to their specific industry segment, but survey respondents showed little interest in doing so. Thirty percent report having attended two educational sessions, while the remaining 70% attended none.

Overall, half of respondents who attended Clean were “fully satisfied” with their show experience as a whole (50%) and nearly a third felt “somewhat satisfied” (30%). The remainder were indifferent, saying they felt “neither satisfied nor dissatisfied” (20%).

While American Drycleaner’s Wire survey presents a snapshot of the audience’s viewpoints at a particular moment, it should not be considered scientific. Subscribers to Wire e-mails—distributed twice weekly—are invited each month to participate in a brief industry survey they can complete anonymously.

The entire American Drycleaner audience is encouraged to participate, as a greater number of responses will help to better define owner/operator opinions and industry trends. O 8

THE NUMBERS

WHILE EMPLOYMENT FIGURES INCREASED in June,

according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate remains the same at 7.6%. Many of the figures related to unemployment remain static as well: 11.8 million people are unemployed; the number of long-term unemployed is at 4.3 million, or 36.7% of the total of those unemployed; and 2.6 million people continue to be marginally attached to the labor force. “(The) report reveals an economy continuing to recover at a promising rate,” says Acting Secretary of Labor Seth D. Harris. “With the addition of 202,000 private sector jobs in June, that makes 7.2 million private sector jobs over the last 40 consecutive months of growth. … Average hourly earnings are up as well, having risen 10 cents in June.”

REGARDING U.S. EXPORTS, newly appointed U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker offered some good news. Total services and 10

automotive exports hit a record high in May, she reports, although the overall export figure dropped slightly to $187.1 billion from April’s $187.6 billion.

Imports also increased in May to $4.4 billion, led by petroleum products.

The Commerce Department also reported an increase of 1.3 million export-related jobs as a result of the National Export Initiative, which aims to double U.S. exports by the end of 2014.

REALTYTRAC REPORTED AN INCREASE in foreclosures

sold in April, up 9.7% over March, and an increase in new foreclosures, which were up 2.25% in May over April figures. Those figures go along with the decrease in mortgage applications for the last week of June.

The Mortgage Bankers Association reported 11.7% fewer applications from the previous week.

Mortgage rates also increased during that time frame, reaching the highest point in two years, resulting in 15% fewer refinance ap-

plications as well.

The National Association of Realtors reported a 6.7% increase in pending home sales in May, the highest level since 2006.

The Pending Home Sales Index was at 112.3 in May, up from 105.2 in April, and 12.1% above the 2012 figure of 100.2.

THE LATEST SURVEYS OF CONSUMERS —conducted

by Thomson Reuters and the University of Michigan—shows a higher level of consumer confidence in June. The increase comes from households with incomes above $75,000, mainly based on rising household wealth rather than on jobs or wages.

“Consumers now believe the recovery has achieved an upward momentum that will not be easily reversed,” says Surveys of Consumers Chief Economist Richard Curtin.

“Few consumers expect the economy to post robust gains … (but they) anticipate continued slow economic progress.” O —Jean Teller www.americandrycleaner.com

Clean Show Report Part II Coverage by Bruce Beggs and Jean Teller

T

he 2013 Clean Show officially drew 10,300 people from the United States and 83 foreign countries to New Orleans, reports show manager Riddle & Associates.

That’s down 8% from the 11,200 registrants who visited Clean in Las Vegas in 2011 but up 4% from the 9,902 attendance tallied in New Orleans in 2009.

New Orleans’ Morial Convention Center welcomed 422 exhibitors covering 195,140 net square feet of booth space — a 6% increase in exhibit space from the 2011 Las Vegas show.

Clean’s sponsoring associations introduced some firsts this year: they offered educational sessions each afternoon on the show floor, made available a smartphone app to help attendees navigate the event, and posted

monitors depicting live Twitter feeds throughout the three-day show.

The next edition of Clean will convene in Atlanta’s Georgia World Congress Center in April 2015.

The Clean Executive Committee is gathering feedback from exhibitors and attendees regarding this year’s “experimental” three-day show before deciding if the 2015 show will remain three days in length or shift back to the traditional four days.

Many companies took advantage of Clean ’13 to introduce brand-new products, roll out newly improved products or exhibit well-established product lines. Still others exhibited at www.americandrycleaner.com

American Drycleaner presents this report describing just some of the companies and the products they exhibited in New Orleans. With such a large number of companies having exhibited at the June show, this article isn’t intended to be all encompassing.

Readers are encouraged to follow American Drycleaner in print and online (AmericanDrycleaner.com) during the coming months for product announcements from these companies and others.

PARKER BOILER Parker Boiler manufactures steam boilers, hot water boilers, thermal liquid heaters and indirect water heaters, and was eager to share its technology with Clean Show attendees.

“We have always been a popular boiler west of the Mississippi but have been making a significant impact in the laundry and dry cleaning market on the East Coast, mostly from stories from owners in this industry talking about their experience and satisfaction with our products,” says Michael Leeming, national sales manager.

A.L. WILSON CHEMICAL CO. The company reintroduced its reformulated RiteGo Laundry Spray Spotter, a high-performance, high-value laundry spray that delivers clean collars and cuffs. Its microemulsion technology enables it to penetrate quickly to absorb perspiration and collar and cuff stains, and to release groundin soil without the need to brush, the company says.

A.L. Wilson President Fred Schwarzmann says the show was better than he expected but that he prefers a four-day format. “It allows for more scheduling flexibility and for more interaction, both on the floor and after hours,” he says. ▲

METALPROGETTI The company’s 24/7 dropoff kiosk, which has been installed in countries all over the world, has been adapted into a turnkey solution that substitutes for leasing space for drop stores, the company says. The Battista can function as an unmanned dry store, giving clients the ability to sign up, drop off and pick up their dry cleaning around the clock. Decals can be created to enhance aesthetics and assist in marketing.

Another new product is the Smart Locker (shown), designed for corporate buildings, campuses, and large apartment or condo buildings. The dynamic system gives customers the ability to sign up, drop off and pick up their dry cleaning unattended. It can hold 20 lockers to serve customers in under 40 square feet, according to Metalprogetti.

The company’s newest innovation is

the Giulietta Bagger, an integrated assembly system intended for customers producing from 800 to 1,800 pieces per day on an eight-hour shift. This compact bagger is designed to fit into “smaller spaces,” the company says.

Columbia/ILSA Drycleaning Systems For more than 30 years, Columbia/ILSA has been providing innovative design, reliability and craftsmanship in its dry cleaning equipment. At Clean ’13, the company’s display presented “The Evolution of Clean,” represented by its Professional Series line, the TL HCS N2 with a solvent heating system, the IPURA, and the introduction of two new GreenEarth models.

▲

PONY/PONY USA Equipment maker PONY chose the Clean Show to launch its new venture, PONY USA, making available for the first time its entire line of finishing and pressing equipment with complete

domestic parts and technical support.

PONY USA is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and can be reached at 202-7237618, sales@pony-usa.com.

PONY introduced its new EAGLE shirt finisher. It features the H.A.R.S. (Hot Air Recovery System), which recaptures air from the shoulder press and conveys it through a special channel into the fan to speed drying. As a result, PONY says, the machine is able to reduce energy consumption by 20-30%. Additional features include Teflon-coated press heads, an adjustable cuff clamp system, and a front horizontal sliding paddle.

Another booth highlight was the

DLI presents Meritorious Service Award to Kreussler Just prior to the opening of the Clean Show, the Drycleaning & Laundry Institute (DLI) presented its Meritorious Service Award to Kreussler, developer of SystemK4, a patent-pending environmentally friendly dry cleaning system anchored

Rich Fitzpatrick, Kreussler vice president, received the “Technology Trailblazer” award on behalf of Kreussler from DLI President David Machesney, Pratt Abbott Cleaners, Westbrook, Maine.

After the presentation, DLI CEO Mary Scalco updated attendees on her association’s activities. DLI has long provided what Scalco believes is the industry’s best technological information but is now expanding into management and marketing resources.

The Institute is partnering with Methods for Management (managing director Diana Vollmer) and MarketWise Consulting Group (president Carolyn Nankervis) to provide new members-only programs.

(Vollmer and Nankervis are regular contributors to American Drycleaner.)

Scalco also announced that DLI certification testing may now be done online; members no longer must travel to take the tests. Also, in response to member feedback, DLI has developed tests that are specific to solvents beyond perc because there is a wide selection of solvents now in use in the industry.

Elizabeth Brown, the company’s marketing communications manager, says the line offering models in five sizes between 9.5 and 30HP will be released in the fall.

Cleaver-Brooks also highlighted its ClearFire®-H horizontal, gas-fired, steam boiler in its booth.

Dow Chemical Co. Returning to the Clean Show floor was the Dow Chemical Co. and its DOWPER™ Dry Cleaning Solvent.

Dow, which says it is the world’s largest perchloroethylene (perc) producer, promoted the solvent’s performance benefits, plus additional benefits such as company experience, a reliable distributor network, and sustainable closed-loop delivery.

“We were able to promote the benefits of responsible perc use in modern equipment, demonstrate our closed-loop delivery system with a hands-on display and provide facts to counter misinformation on regulatory bans,” says Rich Brown, marketing manager. “We also dispelled rumors that perc is ‘going away’ and illustrated Dow’s market presence by highlighting Brenntag, our exclusive distributor, 20 ▲

Firbimatic The drycleaning machinery company introduced several new products at Clean, including the F series AS K, developed to maximize results utilizing all Class III alternative solvents; the F series TANDEM AS, offering modular solutions for use with all environmentally friendly and alternative solvents; and the optional FirbiNet, a full-access Remote Computer Controller that makes it possible to control a drycleaning machine’s computer from a PC or tablet.

IES IES kept things breezy, displaying several of its SonicAire fans, all of which clean with high velocity and high mass airflow to create an overhead barrier that prevents fugitive dust from accumulating on steel structures, pipes, ducts and process equipment. The newest model designed to keep areas clear of potentially combustible dust and lint is the SonicAire 1.c. The “C” stands for compact, because the company designed it for customers, particularly dry cleaners, that wanted a cleaning fan but had limited ceiling space.

President Brad Carr says the show exceeded his expectations and that his company set a new record for the amount of sales closed there.

No Reason to Fear Blood

I

have addressed blood stains previously, but the phone calls and e-mails keep coming. There is no reason to fear any stain, especially this protein stain that almost every formulator of chemical tools has given full attention.

Whether a small drop or a stain saturating half the garment, blood must be removed while causing the least disturbance to the fabric and dye.

Various methods are available, and failure to fully remove a blood stain should be the rare exception.

Those of you that have followed this column will remember the white linen dress: a gift to a young woman, the automobile accident that breaks her nose, the blood that pours down the Martin Young front of a “Dry Clean Only” garment. I was happy that I had some enzyme digester and the confidence to use it.

Large amounts of blood will require hours of spotting at the board.

The enzyme digester bath is the perfect blood-removal tool, if the garment will allow immersion in water.

Place warm water in a container large enough to allow the garment to move freely; using an insulated drink cooler dedicated to this purpose is an effective way to proceed.

Use approximately 1 oz. of powder 18

American Drycleaner, August 2013

0813adc_p18-19.FINAL.indd 18

digester for every 2 gal. of warm (120 F) water; water that is too hot will ruin the effects of the digesting enzyme.

Agitate the solution to dissolve the powder. Submerge the garment and allow it to soak, checking on its status from time to time, until the blood has been dissolved.

An enzyme digester can easily be used on smaller stains at the spotting board. It is especially effective to soften or remove “old” blood stains that have turned from red to dark brown. Flush the stain with steam to moisten and heat the area. Apply the enzyme digester to the stain, cover it with a warm, moist towel, then set the garment aside for at least 30 minutes.

With time, new blood disappears, and aged blood loosens to enable removal with a protein chemical tool.

Follow standard protein protocol to remove blood stains. Place the stain over the vacuum nose and flush with steam, then pull over the solid part of the board and apply NSD and light mechanical action. Move back to the vacuum nose and flush again with steam, which should loosen the stain to some extent. Place the stain over the solid part and apply a protein chemical tool and light mechanical action, then move back to the vacuum nose and flush with steam.

If any traces remain, move the stain www.americandrycleaner.com

7/18/13 8:43 AM

back to the solid part and apply the protein formula, or a stronger version if the dye will allow, and light mechanical action.

(Stronger protein formulations will usually have a hint of ammonia and should be used with a level of caution.) If traces of blood remain, it will be necessary to use spot bleaching.

Bleach is not a dirty word and should not cause you fear. After taking the precaution of testing on an inside seam, place a drop of 3% hydrogen peroxide (available at most drug stores or supermarkets) on the last traces of blood. If staining remains after about a minute, heat the area with a light fogging from the steam gun. Flush with steam and evaluate your progress.

If traces of blood remain, place the stain over the solid part of the spotting board. Place a small amount of sodium

perborate on top of the stain, then two or three drops of protein formula on top of that to saturate the powder. Fog the sodium perborate with steam so that the powder appears to “melt” through the stain, then place the area over the vacuum nose and flush away any powder that remains.

Neutralize the bleach with a few drops of acetic acid and flush with steam.

Blood is not a difficult stain to remove if you proceed step by step from enzyme digester to protein chemical tools to bleach. Follow the protocol and you will find success. O Martin L.

and its network of authorized resellers across the U.S.” Maineline Computer Systems New for Clean 2013 was CompassMax version 5.0, including a major addition involving e-mailing. The software offers custom-designed e-mails as well as savable features for future e-mail blasts, including birth dates, anniversaries, new customers, top customers, “lost” customers, and messages designed specifically for routes. This new version has the option for database replication to help protect and secure important data.

Rennco Rennco unveiled a new bagging system for the dry cleaning and uniform industry called the Garment Guard. It’s a wrapping/bagging machine that automatically packs single or multiple garments, sensing the incoming garment size to make the appropriate size bag around the item(s).

The system can be used as a standalone unit or integrates with upstream and downstream conveyance systems in a facility.

“We thought the show was great,” says Jeanne George, inside sales. “Attendees that were there were the correct people vs. just ‘lookers.’ … Three days was fine for the show length.”

Cleaner Business Systems Cleaner Business Systems once again demonstrated the benefits of its feature-rich Web-based software designed to assist a cleaner in gaining control of his or her pricing, maximizing up charges, eliminating employee theft and advertising effectively. Among the features are account management, route technol-

Cleaner and supplier associations pack house at Clean Show bash The Drycleaning & Laundry Institute (DLI) and the Textile Care Allied Trades Association (TCATA), which co-sponsor the Clean Show with three other groups, co-hosted a “blockbuster” meet-and-greet networking party for their members and top industry suppliers in New Orleans.

Forty member companies of the two associations sponsored the June 21 event in the Grand Ballroom of the Royal Sonesta Hotel. The party was a “raving success” judging by the smiling faces and laughter that filled the room, according to DLI CEO Mary Scalco.

“The unity among the vari-

20

ous aspects of the industry is what makes us strong,” she says. “The party was a fun way for us to thank all our DLI and TCATA members.”

It created an informal atmosphere in which members of both groups could relax and relate on a personal level.

“Bringing people together to learn from each other is what our associations do best.

Many industry friendships last a lifetime,” Scalco says.

The first-ever joint reception was clearly a success, says David Cotter, TCATA CEO. “The room was crowded, members were renewing business relationships and

friendships, and forming new ones – what else could you ask for?”

The gathering builds on behind-the scenes relationship-building between the two groups, says Fred Schwarzmann, president of A.L. Wilson Chemical Co., DLI Allied Trades director, and a former TCATA board member.

“This co-hosted membership party is a highly visible sign of the growing cooperation and alignment between these two organizations.”

DLI and TCATA plan to offer a similar networking opportunity at Clean 2015 in Atlanta.

ogy, employee communication, multi-store support, and more.

Trevil America The company demonstrated its new Pantastar, which it says is the first machine able to finish an entire pair of pants, including the crease, without the need for a skilled, experienced worker.

The Pantastar irons the top of the pants like a tensioning pants topper while finishing the creases like a legger press, Trevil adds.

It contains features such as electronic adjustment of tensioning, anti-stretching devices, an advanced clamping system for cuffs, and the exclusive TreviXpand system that adapts to the shape of the top of the pants.

EzProducts International The company introduced some new labeling products, including interchangeable platens for its Model-7® digital presses. The QuickChange™ Mini-9 Platen™ is designed to apply large labels to laundry bags. EzProducts says several dry cleaners are using small labels on their customers’ clothing and a larger label on laundry bags; it’s easy to switch platens for both purposes.

“Attendance was very good, and we have purchase orders and great leads to follow up,” says Vice President Diane Rue. “(It was) the best Clean Show in years for buyers.”

Italclean Introduced to the American and South American markets were the www.americandrycleaner.com

company’s Drytech drycleaning machines utilizing hydrocarbon, GreenEarth and SolvonK4 without distillation. Company officials indicated they were disappointed with the total attendance but are considered returning in 2015.

Commercial Coils Commercial Coils has attended at least 10 Clean Shows, and the 2013 event was a strong one for the company, says President Robert Andersen. The Missouri company has a number of new products on its HVAC side of the business, and remains committed to precision-built replacement coils for every aspect of the laundry and dry cleaning industry.

Sankosha USA The company presented a variety of pressing, bagging and spotting technologies. Bill Odorizzi, vice president of marketing, called the show Sankosha’s best since 2007.

“Clean 2013 was very special to us because we were celebrating our 20th anniversary of doing business in the U.S.,” Odorizzi says. “This gave us the opportunity to thank a lot of people who have played a special part in our overall success.”

He admits being skeptical about moving to a three-day format but notes his company was extremely busy even up to the close on the final day.

Dajisoft Since 1995, Dajisoft’s DryClean PRO software has enabled dry cleaners to meet today’s competitive markets. Its new generation of point-of-sale system is designed for both small and larger stores, and user-friendly screens and menus make DryClean PRO Enterprise (DCPe) simpler to use than before, the company says.

NARD membership convenes in Texas, interviews prospects The full membership of North American Restoration Dry Cleaners (NARD) recently convened for an all-day meeting here during the National Contractor Connection conference.

Members of the elite organization specialize in remediation of clothes that have been damaged by fire, smoke, water or exposure to mold or other contaminants.

At the Texas gathering, the membership interviewed three “new and well qualified prospective members” that hail from different West Coast markets. Each of the candidates showed favorably, NARD reports, and are in the final stages of the vetting process.

The group also granted full membership status to Western New York member Urban Valet of Buffalo, N.Y., for surpassing the organization’s service and volume benchmarks.

NARD’s annual meeting is scheduled for Sept. 19 in Kansas City, Mo.

Advantage™ Insurance Programs Department, working with programs for dry cleaners and commercial launderers, the company reports.

Handel, who brings six years of experience in the commercial insurance industry to IWA, will be handling several Fabricare accounts in the Eastern Handel United States, plus will have sole responsibility for IWA’s Fabricare Pollution coverage for dry cleaners.

“We here at IWA are very pleased to welcome Sharon Handel to IWA’s staff,” says Adam Weber, IWA president. “We have already realized the many benefits Sharon brings to the Fabricare Advantage Department working on dry cleaner insurance, with her bright personality and helpful demeanor.”

Joining Cote at the inn was seamstress Wilma DaRocha. The two used a bedroom as a workshop, creating bespoke draperies for the inn’s waiting area and two guest rooms.

“It was a lot of fun,” Cote says. “We went in with the crew and worked into the night while the owner wasn’t there. Everything had to be done by 10 o’clock the next morning.”

The episode featuring Curtis House Inn and French Cleaners’ work is scheduled to air this fall on FOX.

French Cleaners aids TV show ‘Hotel Hell’ with inn makeover

Anton’s Cleaners raises $210,000 at Hearts Warmed charity event

French Cleaners, a family-owned member of the Hartford, Conn., business community for more than a century, calls itself the place “Where Miracles Happen.” Producers of Gordon Ramsey’s new show, Hotel Hell, needed just such a miracle in May when they invited French Cleaners to participate in a makeover of the Curtis House Inn in Woodbury, Conn.

French Cleaners worked with the designer to create window treatments for Connecticut’s oldest inn. “We got a call on Monday morning asking us if we were available to help Monday night,” says French Cleaners owner Phil Cote.

The company’s expertise was a definite draw for producers, he believes. “Not too many businesses can offer services like

More 350 people gathered recently at the UMASS Lowell Inn & Conference Center for Hearts Warmed, a celebration of Anton’s Cleaners’ 100 years in business.

The gathering collected money for Caring Partners Inc., a charity organization that develops and implements programs to collect and distribute good-quality clothing to children, individuals and families in need.

Through individual ticket sales, sponsorships, and donations, the event raised nearly $210,000.

Hearts Warmed honored Arthur C. Anton Sr. for his vision, compassion and devotion to giving back to the community. He became president of Anton Cleaners in the 1960s and with brothers Socrates and Alexander guided the company’s growth.

rado, Washington, Idaho, Oregon and New Mexico, according to the company.

Its concept focuses on maintaining lean operational costs and outsourcing expensive portions (labor, lease costs, and equipment) to allow the business owner to concentrate on growing the customer base.

“Our franchise concept enhances the leading factors that capture uniqueness in our market that has led to rapid growth – strong branding, proven business model, industry differentiators and edge over competitors and innovations,” says OneClick Cleaners CEO Joseph Albert. “The dry cleaning industry has been successful for many years; we just applied our model and unique twist. We are growing rapidly because of it.”

“What better way to celebrate our 100th anniversary than to both honor my father [Arthur Anton Sr.] and raise funds for a nonprofit organization that we at Anton’s hold close to our hearts,” says Arthur Anton Jr., COO of Anton’s Cleaners.

During tough economic times, the number of people turning to Anton’s for help is outpacing its ability to ensure that each person in surrounding communities who need a winter coat or a prom dress gets one. The funds raised from Hearts Warmed will allow Caring Partners to expand its efforts and reach more individuals than ever before.

“We weren’t really sure what to expect when these programs [Coats for Kids and Belle of the Ball] began,” says President and CEO Charles Anton. “We knew it was important to give back where able, however, they have grown beyond our wildest dreams – collecting nearly 60,000 coats a year and outfitting nearly 500 girls a year for prom.”

Anton’s Cleaners owns and operates 42 stores in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

Five Star Cleaners launches annual drive for San Antonio Food Bank During the summer, the San Antonio Food Bank is pressed even more than usual since it distributes more than 3,800 meals per day to children at 127 feeding sites. So, Five Star Cleaners is lending a hand to the Food Bank with its third annual summer food drive titled “Five for 5.”

Owners Richard Thum, Sharlene Thum and Bryan Newbold are urging all Five Star Cleaners customers and local residents to 56

American Drycleaner, August 2013

0813adc_p54-57.FINAL.indd 56

support the outreach campaign that runs through Aug. 12.

“Texas recorded six of the 10 counties in the country with the highest rate of childhood food insecurity in 2011, according to Feeding America,” Sharlene Thum says.

“Never in my wildest dreams would I put the word ‘insecurity’ with the word ‘food.’

Childhood hunger should not happen in America, and that is why Five Star Cleaners is eager to kick off this year’s Five for 5 food drive.”

Those who bring in five cans of food to any of Five Star’s 18 locations will receive a $5 off coupon for any future dry cleaning order, and two San Antonio Scorpions soccer tickets for $20.

This year’s donors also have the opportunity to donate through PayPal by using a special Five for 5 QR code, available on all Five Star coupons, dry cleaning bags and in-store signage.

“Being able to leverage a relationship with a business partner in the community that helps feed children is a great benefit to all,” says Eric Cooper, president and CEO of the San Antonio Food Bank. “We appreciate Five Star Cleaners stepping up and creating a robust and creative summer food drive to help us in our mission to feed children while helping customers maximize their dollars.”

new program forms peer groups of DLI members to create the competitive advantage of information and strategy sharing with an eye on sustained prosperity and growth.

“We are very happy to announce we are working with Diana Vollmer and her company, Methods for Management, an independent consulting business with specialties in the dry cleaning industry,” says DLI CEO Mary Scalco. “This new program is specifically designed for DLI members. Some key areas of focus will be improving processing efficiency, profit, and cash flow.”

Members join a group of up to 12 DLI members. Group members will be selected so as to minimize the need for travel. To encourage the open sharing of information and mutual support, participation is limited to one member from any market.

Each peer management group will meet quarterly, and with the help of MfM discuss, design and implement incentive pay plans; profit improvement and strategic planning; plant processingefficiencyandengineeringdesigns; financial and cash flow improvements; branding; growth strategies; and more. O

‘Coining’...

Continued from page 64

50 YEARS AGO. Bonded, two-faced fabrics may become the norm in many outfits as “coining” has been introduced as a new way to make double-faced fabrics. Instead of manually weaving, the process involves bonding two different types of fabric together back-to-back using a polyurethane adhesive. Coining is done without the use of heat, plastic or a polyurethane sandwich, and even withstands solvents used in dry cleaning. The new process may bode well for lining in clothing, particularly those that become too tight, shrink, ride up, or twist and turn during wear … Looking for ways to canvass for sales, but don’t have the manpower? Let your counter person’s fingers do the walking by having her promote sales via telephone. According to this month’s Over the Counter, the practice will “provide an interesting variance for the counter girl from her routine counter service.” The column lists housewives as a target demographic, but cautions against being pushy in selling service. “In talking to your customer, it is very important to be concise and clear … then proceed to point out what value there is in using your available services.” … Cleanamation Inc. has acquired Detroit-based Excelsior Machinery Corp. Founded in 1946 by William B. Caplan, ExcelAugust 1963 sior manufactured an extensive line of finishing equipment, www.americandrycleaner.com

0813adc_p63-64.FINAL.indd 63

including manual and air-operated offset presses, puffers, hat-finishing, blocking equipment and spotting boards … Romaine Fielding Jr., president of Romaine Fielding & Associates Inc., is set to jet off to Moscow in October to provide a demonstration of American coin-operated dry cleaners and laundries. Fielding partnered with the All-Union Soviet Chamber of Commerce to sponsor the exhibit.

75 YEARS AGO. How should dry cleaners approach advertising their fall promotions?

Dry Cleaner columnist John Maxwell has one tip: “start early and stay late.” Maxwell advises dry cleaners’ advertising to focus on heavy route selling, direct mail, and newspaper advertising to ensure successful fall business. “Don’t wait until after Labor Day,” he adds. “Begin at least a week before. You may not get much business during that week, but you’re bound to encourage customers to get their fall cleaning to you early.” … Wally Doe of Billings, Mont., has developed an “eraser” for ink stains. Doe mixes 5 oz. of glycerine with 2 oz. acetic ether, ½ oz. oxalic acid, 2 oz. alcohol, 2 oz. acetic acid, 1 oz. hydrochloric acid, and six drops of rust remover.

Though complex, all the spotter has to do is apply the solution with a spotting stick, rinse, neutralize with 10% ammonia, feather out and dry … Berta C. De Leuschner of Argentina is considered one of the National Association Institute’s “fartraveled students” for its summer class. De Leuschner, whose husband owns Tintoreria Nevalet, one of 10 plants handling the dry cleaning for their city’s population of 3 million, traveled 18 days aboard a ship en route from Buenos Aires to New York.

25 YEARS AGO. Dr. Manfred Wentz, professor and chairman of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro’s Department of Clothing and Textiles, is calling R.R. Street & Co. his new home, as the company has appointed him as its newly created vice president of technology and environmental affairs. Wentz is well-known in the industry, having published research on the effects of dry cleaning on wool fibers in 1987, which struck down the notion that “excessive” dry cleaning is harmful. … Gresham, Ore. native, and Centennial High School senior, Michael O’Dierno, has been awarded the 1988 TCATA educational grant.

O’Dierno, whose father works for Arent Machinery Co., was selected by a panel of professors, and will receive the $1,000 annual grant. O’Dierno plans to study electrical engineering … Passaic, N.J.-based HARDOmatic is now the exclusive distributor and licensee of HARDO, the German manufacturer of shoe repair and machinery.

10 YEARS AGO. Use of perchloroethylene amongst dry cleaners continues to drop, according to an annual survey conducted by the Textile Care Allied Trades Association (TCATA).

Demand for the drycleaning solvent dropped nearly 10%, from 52 million pounds in 2001 to 47 million in 2002. TCATA CEO David Cotter acknowledged the efforts of dry cleaners across the country in becoming more environmentally conscious. … Donald C. Fawcett Jr. will assume the presidency of the International Fabricare Institute (IFI) this month at Clean ’03 in Las Vegas. Fawcett has 40 years of industry experience, currently serving as CEO of Massachusetts-based Dependable Cleaners. He has served on IFI’s board of directors for four years, and plans on utilizing his vast industry experience in directing the organization. “Success for each member means success for our industry as a whole,” he says. … A slice of Hollywood will make its way to the Clean Show, as Cleaner’s Supply will host The Jeffersons star Sherman Hemsley at its booth. The TV show debuted in 1975 and featured Hemsley’s character “moving on up” in the dry cleaning business, running for 10 seasons.
