TALK OF THE TRADE

Survey: Investments in cooling equipment boost employee morale during summer

▲

CHICAGO — In the hot summer months, many dry cleaners add cooling equipment to keep employees comfortable, with the majority (67.7%) of respondents believing their investment in these fans and cooling systems has paid off in terms of employee morale and productivity, according to the results of July’s American Drycleaner Your Views survey.

Only about one-fifth (21.5%) of respondents say they are unsure if their investment has paid off, while 10.8% say their investment in cooling equipment has not paid off.

The responding dry cleaners use these types of cooling equipment: portable fans (66.2%); swamp coolers (47.9%); air conditioning (19.7%); spot-cooling systems (19.7%); and portable evaporative coolers (16.9%).

While 5.6% say they use “none” of the equipment listed, some (9.9%) say they use “other” methods, such as exhaust fans and power roof vents.

Although the majority of dry cleaners polled use cooling equipment, 72.6% have not added new machines this year. Portable fans are the most popular among respondents, as 14.5% have recently added them to their facility. This is a large number compared to the few who have added air-conditioning units (3.2%), swamp coolers 6

(6.5%), spot-cooling systems (3.2%) and portable evaporative coolers (4.8%).

Another method for keeping employees comfortable is to adjust production schedules. Nearly half (47.9%) of respondents have made temporary changes, like starting shifts earlier and rotating workers to different stations, while the majority (52.1%) say they do not follow this practice.

Among the responding cleaners who adjust schedules, the majority say they have their staff work early in order to leave early, which allows for an overall cooler workday.

Some respondents specified how much earlier workers start; about an hour earlier than usual is typical. One dry cleaner even reduces his/her production schedule to only four days per week. Another said that working after dark also helps to reduce the plant’s heat.

Water is definitely important when it comes to working in warm conditions. One operator said he/she encourages workers to take “more water breaks (to rest in airconditioned break room), or [they’ll] end early on a very hot day.” Another emphasized “[making] sure there are water coolers available.”

While American Drycleaner’s Your Views survey presents a snapshot of the trade audience’s viewpoints, it should not be considered scientific. Due to rounding, percentages may not add up to 100%.

Subscribers to American Drycleaner emails are invited each month to participate in a brief industry survey they can complete anonymously. The entire trade audience is encourage to participate, as a greater number of responses will help to better define owner/operator opinions and industry trends. O 8

THE NUMBERS

THE U.S. UNEMPLOYMENT RATE in June was down

to 6.1%, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Gains were seen in a variety of industries, with a total of 288,000 jobs added to non-farm payrolls.

The rate was down 0.2 percentage points from May’s. Over the course of this year, the rate has dropped by 1.4 percentage points, and the number of unemployed has decreased by 2.3 million.

THE HOUSING MARKET also

reported recent growth.

The National Association of Realtors reported a sharp increase in pending home sales for May, as well as lower mortgage rates and an increased inventory. The Association’s Pending Home Sales Index increased 6.1% in May, which, while up from April 2014, is still below the May 2013 figure by 5.2%.

The May increase was the largest gain since April 2010.

NAR Chief Economist 10

Lawrence Yun reports that second-half sales are likely to not be enough to help the lower first-quarter numbers, and that the year’s total will probably be lower than 2013’s.

The Mortgage Bankers Association’s latest Weekly Mortgage Applications Survey showed a slight decrease in mortgage applications for the last full week of June. The number of applications was down 0.2% from the previous week. Refinance applications accounted for 53% of the total, an increase of 1% from the previous week.

New foreclosures were down 5% in May when compared with the same period one year ago, for a total of 109,824 new proceedings, according to RealtyTrac.

THE MAY FIGURES for U.S.

international trade were up in May, to $195.5 billion from $193.5 billion in April.

“Today’s strong export numbers are yet another sign that more American businesses are seizing the

opportunity to sell their world-class products and services to the 95% of consumers who live outside the United States,” says U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker.

THE NON-MANUFACTURING SECTOR of the U.S. econo-

my reported growth for the 53rd consecutive month in June, according to the Non-Manufacturing Report on Business from the Institute for Supply Management.

A SMALL GAIN IN consumer confidence was reported for June by the Surveys of Consumers from Thomson Reuters and the University of Michigan, although the figure was offset by a largely unchanged Sentiment Index.

W e a the r c o ndi ti o ns were given as reasons by most consumers for a first-quarter decline in economic growth, but they also see that the economy is experiencing positive growth overall. O

Our name means a lot.

GreenEarth has always stood for green cleaning.

Where does the green in our cleaning come from?

Sand. That’s what GreenEarth solvent is made from. Simple, natural sand. Unlike perc or petroleum-based solvents, GreenEarth is good for the earth, and for people, so the EPA doesn’t regulate it.

The cleaning in our green is pretty impressive, too. Studies show GreenEarth cleans as well as perc

on a much wider variety of garments. Fabrics actually look and feel noticeably better.

But green cleaning is just the beginning.

GreenEarth can green up your bottom line, too. Unlike the alternatives, GreenEarth is cost effective. And our Affiliates who market their GreenEarth difference have seen their sales increase by more than 20%.

GreenEarth. Another name for opportunity.

Multiple Variables Thwart ‘One-Shot’ Expectations

I

recently attended a regional show for the drycleaning industry. These affairs have not changed much in the past 30 years. What has changed is the attitude of those who attend these shows.

The expectation that there is a single machine, immersion solution or stain-removal tool that can do it all is just not realistic. There are far too many variables in fiber, construction, trim and stains to address with a oneshot product.

An informed cleaner will be a successful cleaner, and a student of the industry will Martin Young thrive while others are “walking away” in frustration. If you do not maintain clean solvent, with detergent, with a solvent flow that changes the volume of solvent in the wheel every 60 seconds, you are doing yourself harm and your customer a disservice.

Even with more than 30 years of experience, I still find stain removal a daily challenge. When it comes to tannin stains, no two are exactly alike.

The only thing tannin stains have in common is that they originate from a plant. Wine, tea, coffee and mustard are classic examples of tannin stains.

Before there were pre-formulated chemical tools, cleaners would mix a tannin solution using distilled water, glycerin and acetic acid. They knew that the higher the concentration of acetic acid in the mixture, the more aggressive the solution.

You must approach the removal of a tannin stain with an extra measure of patience. By going slowly, you can successfully remove the stain with a minimum of risk to the garment.

Start by putting the stain over the vacuum nose of the board and flushing the area with wet steam. This will break the surface tension, spread the fibers and heat the area to enhance the chemical action.

Apply NSD and light mechanical action over the solid portion of the spotting board, then flush the area with steam over the vacuum nose of the board. If there is ever any doubt about the content of any wet-side stain after this initial treatment, apply tannin formula first. Many times, if a protein formula is placed on a tannin stain, it will make it much harder to remove www.americandrycleaner.com

the stain, or possibly even set the stain.

In all supplemental stain removal, the spotter must take into consideration the variables of fiber, construction and trim, and the stability of the dye. Many dyes are sensitive to the pH level of the chemical tool being used. Tannin formula is an acidbased liquid. Test the spotting chemical on an unexposed area and if there is a color change, neutralize the area with a protein (alkali) formula.

Apply the tannin formula over the solid portion of the spotting board, followed by mild mechanical action. Move the stain over the vacuum nose of the spotting board and flush with steam. If the stain is still noticeable, repeat the process using a stronger chemical, with a lower pH level.

Test the spotter each time you progress to a stronger chemical tool.

My personal progression for tannin stain removal is mild tannin; strong tannin (on the board); super tannin, general formula, acetic acid, and oxalic acid (all on a shelf); and, finally, spot bleaching.

The more aggressive chemicals should be placed where they are available, but only by making a conscious decision and movement to use one of these stain-removal tools.

The last chemical tool—bleach—is one for which there is a wide difference of opinion. Some spotters fear bleach, and others use it after only one stain-removal attempt with the proper chemical. Both of these approaches are wrong.

Bleaches can be of benefit on the spotting board, for the last traces of a variety of stains. The only bleach that should be used on a fabric that contains protein fiber is hydrogen peroxide—I recommend the “drug store” concentration of 3%.

“The expectation that there is a single machine, immersion solution or stain-removal tool that can do it all is just not realistic.”

Apply the peroxide with a cotton swab, set the garment aside for a few minutes, and then flush with steam. This can be repeated several times to achieve good results.

A highly refined/activated (extremely small grains) sodium perborate is a good tool to have available in a salt shaker, near the spotting board, for non-protein fabrics.

Flush the area with steam, then shake on a small amount of sodium perborate.

Apply a drop or two of NSD to moisten the powder, then melt the powder using the steam gun; apply just enough pressure on the steam pedal to have a wisp of steam rolling off the nose of the spotting gun.

Finally, neutralize the area with a few drops of acetic acid and flush with steam.

Do yourself a favor and move beyond the “me too” approach to cleaning. O Martin L.

QuickSort hires Redditt as general manager, controller QuickSort, manufacturer of auto-assembly conveyors for dry cleaners, has added a second full-time employee to its staff. Bryan Redditt, whose background is in public accounting and smallbusiness development, takes on the role of general manager and controller.

He graduated from Bryan Redditt the University of Arkansas with a degree in business, and specializes in accounting. His duties include accounting and marketing work and assisting customers. More than seven years of public accounting experience have prepared him for budgets and planning for this new position, the Little Rock, Ark., company says.

“The level of activity was such that I could not do everything that makes a small business successful,” says Brett McLeod, founder of QuickSort. “The timing was right to bring Bryan on board to help with the day-to-day operations and let me focus on our customers and product development.”

The company’s products span 30 states as well as Puerto Rico. McLeod says that with him, two employees and a close tie with a computer program54

mer, their business now has the “infrastructure that QuickSort, LLC needed and [is] poised for future growth.”

Developing projections, budgets and marketing plans will allow Redditt to help chart the future of the company. “QuickSort is growing,” the newcomer says. “Quality in a conveyor makes a lot of sense. It saves labor and makes a dry cleaner more efficient.

It’s one of the few products out there that’ll pay for itself.”

Redditt’s passion for helping small businesses contributes to his enthusiasm. “I enjoy serving our clients, especially when I can make another hardworking, small-business owner more profitable and eliminate some of their headaches.”

Zengeler Cleaners plans to relocate to new HQ next year Zengeler Cleaners, billed as the Midwest’s oldest and largest dry cleaner, will relocate the company’s headquarters location in the Chicago suburb of Northbrook, Ill., next year, the company reports.

A new state-of-the-art, environmentally friendly facility is scheduled to open at 770 Skokie Blvd.—just around the corner from its current location on Dundee Road—next year, with the development project having received approval from the Northbrook Village Board in May. “Zengeler Cleaners is very excited about the relocation of our Northbrook store,” says company President Tom Zengeler. “This move will benefit all the stakeholders—our customers, the Village of Northbrook and Zengeler Cleaners.”

The new store will feature state-ofthe-art processing that will automate and expedite order processing, and feature architecture and infrastructure consistent with the evolving character of the Northbrook community.

The 770 Skokie project is a mixed-use development featuring a variety of stores.

In addition to Zengeler Cleaners, it will feature a Mariano’s grocery store as the anchor property, plus Verizon, PNC Bank, Chipotle and Panera Bread. Real-estate firm Morningside Group is leading the project.

While his dry cleaner’s new location is expected to open sometime in 2015, the exact timing is “dependent on a variety of factors, not the least of which is weather,” Zengeler says.

viding exceptional service and amazing results,” says Chuck Schoonover, general manager of NDC Group, LLC, which specializes in data networking technology.

In the Chicago area, Glen Ellyn, Ill., is the franchise’s second location in the state.

“We are excited to join the franchise system and bring the amazing Tide Dry Cleaners experience to the residents of Glen Ellyn,” says Raj Patel, owner of Tide Dry Cleaners Glen Ellyn. “Once customers try us, we believe they will love the many differences offered compared to other dry cleaners.”

Two new locations in Little Rock, Ark., are the first for that area, and have recently played an active role in the community by working with the American Red Cross to assist victims of recent tornadoes in the Mayflower and Vilonia areas.

“We are thrilled to see (the) Tide Dry Cleaners’ network continue to expand nationally and are very happy to be here with our franchisees in Little Rock,” says Jeff Wampler, CEO of Agile Pursuits Franchising, Inc., a subsidiary of Procter & Gamble. “We join them in celebrating the opening of their first Tide Dry Cleaners locations in Little Rock.”

Omaha, Neb., is host to the second Tide Dry Cleaners in the Cornhusker State. “We are proud to provide excellent customer service, superior drycleaning quality and amazing convenience to every customer of Tide Dry Cleaners,” says Kimberley McCutcheon, general manager of Tide Dry Cleaners Omaha.

“We’ve listened to consumers who share their frustrations with dry cleaning, and we’re excited to continue leading the way in ‘Changing Dry Cleaning for Good,’” says Erica Jones, marketing manager of Tide Dry Cleaners.

will be the new game sweeping the nation this summer, or at least in the drycleaning industry. Sanitone’s promotional game card has now been printed over a quarter of a million times. The game card has a scratch-off area where prizes are revealed to the customer, including a discount of up to 40%. With promotions of the game card found on the radio, in the newspapers and on posters hanging in stores, it’s no mystery why the “Mystery Spot” is a hit.

50 YEARS AGO. An American Drycleaner feature is taking note of dry cleaners across the Atlantic Ocean in Great Britain.

The story gives praise to the stylish design of several dry cleaners in Great Britain, showcasing 16 photos of dry cleaning stores, complimenting their “expensive plate glass windows, dignified signs, tastefully decorated interiors [and] carefully displayed finished garments hanging on the rack.”

The popularity of the foreign cleanAugust 1964 ers could be a foreshadowing of what the British bring next to America, with the British invasion sweeping the country in the rise in popularity of acts like the Beatles, Richard Burton, and Commander Whitehead. …

million is expected to be spent across the country for the switch to “soft” detergent.

Soft detergent is said to be easily destroyed by bacteria, allowing the detergent to not suds up for too long. Chemical plants and soap factories anticipating the change to occur before the end of next year are already “filling up” with the new products. … Huebsch, the originator of the stacked drying tumblers, is on the hunt to find the oldest Huebsch stacked dryer still in use.

The company is offering the reward of a new Huebsch Twinstar stack dryer to the business with the oldest and still-in-use Huebsch stack dryer in the country.

75 YEARS AGO. Things are moving fast for the fabric and drycleaning industries, American Drycleaner reports in New Wrinkles in Fabrics. With consumers excited to try the latest in fabric finishes powered by new processes, drycleaning equipment manufacturers may worry that their million-dollar machines have already become obsolete. There are reports from New York on a new synthetic fiber made out of cornmeal, as well as a new soybean textile fiber in the laboratories of Detroit’s Ford Motor Co., and a new synthetic fiber patented by Carbide & Carbon Chemical Corp. … Competition in water-repellent rainwear is also heating up between manufacturers du Pont and B.F. Goodrich Co. The Zelan finish from du Pont is an entirely new water repeller that doesn’t break down after washing, as it is held in the individual fibers of the fabric. Goodrich’s Koroseal finish contains raw materials of limestone, coke and salt. It gives the fabric a “K-treatment,” protecting wearers not only from water but also dirt and grease.

10 YEARS AGO. The Oregon Dry Cleaners Association (ODCA) is hosting a champagne brunch and boat trip in Grant Pass, Ore. The 36-mile, 4-hourlong tour will let the attendees of the event enjoy champagne while traveling down the Rogue River. The tour will be hosted on a wide-beamed jet boat and visit sites such as Hellgate Canyon while traveling down the whitewater rapids of the river, stopping off at the O.K. Corral homestead to enjoy an allyou-can eat country banquet. Dryness is no guarantee, though, during the trip as participants are encouraged to bring jackets, sunglasses and other gear to stay dry as the boat is expected to get soaked throughout the ride. … Northwestern Management Bureau recently provided a tour for a group of Japanese dry cleaners who were being hosted by Methods for Management Inc. (MfM).

They were shown what the drycleaning industry is like in America, which included a tour of a Seattle, Wash., plant. They later participated in a review of financial benchmarks during which they learned how the bureau works, and how they could incorporate it into their own businesses back in Japan. … Maineline Computer Systems hosted “one of the largest gatherings
