SCOTTSDALE, AZ -- Laidlaw said that its Spray Sizing adds luster to the fiber, helps with wrinkles and holds creases better and adds stain and water repellency features.
Built-in softeners help avoid the stiff feeling that starches can leave while still giving the crisp and fresh feel of starch. At the same time, it is not as quick to build up on press covers as some inexpensive, grocery-store type starches. Clogged press pads take longer for steam to permeate and increase pressing time and the load on the boiler.
With spray sizing, only a light mist is needed before finishing the garment.
Laidlaw's Spray Sizing is available in cases of 12 20-oz.cans through distributors.

NAPERVILLE, IL -- R. R. Street & Co. Inc. has announced two new products for use with hydrocarbon systems: Pinnacle, a load process detergent, and Revive, a liquid fabric finish.
Pinnacle combines cleaning performance with the simplicity of a load process additive and fights graying by preventing loose soil in the solvent from redepositing on the garments. By managing moisture in the cleaning process, Pinnacle flushes away water-soluble stains and soils during the drycleaning cycle. Static is minimized so garments come out static and lint-free.
Revive, formulated to restore a garment's lost "newness" in any hydrocarbon process, makes garments easier to press and adds noticeable body. Street's said it is safe and effective for all fabrics and that it will keep garments from wrinkling during handling, crowding on rails or conveyors or in the customer's closet. It also makes stain removal easier by adding a protective coating to every garment fiber.
Both formulations are virtually odorless and will not alter the original scent of the odorless solvent in use. Both products are sold by authorized Street's distributors in five- 15-, 30-, and gallon drums.
