A high rate of non-compliance of air quality regulations in Virginia has the Department of Environmental Quality concerned.
Already, the DEQ have begun its plan to inspect at least 20% of the operating plants by the end of each year so that the program can be completed in five years.
David Norford, executive vice president for the MidAtlantic Association of Cleaners, reports that the agency has been patient with cleaners so far. "From the reports we are getting, the inspectors have been very lenient during the first year of inspections," he said. "MidAtlantic's concern right now is that as inspections continue in the second, third, fourth and fifth years, if the non-compliance remains high, fines are going to dramatically increase, leaving little room for leniency or fine abatements."
Some of the main problems that inspectors are discovering are: no record of drycleaning machine leak inspections; no record of drycleaning machine repairs; no record of perc purchases or perc purchases are not up to date; and insufficient record keeping of refrigerated condenser or carbon adsorber temperatures.
Norford has urged all MAC members to contact the association if they have any questions or need the appropriate perc purchase, equipment maintenance and repair forms to complete in order to achieve compliance. MAC's phone number is (800) 235-8360.
More information about the air quality inspections performed by the Virginia DEQ can be found at: www.deq.state.va.us or on MAC's site at www.macla.net.
Environmental fund
The Small Business Environmental Compliance Assistance Fund is open for business for cleaners who wish to finance the purchase of equipment that complies with the federal Clean Air Act.
The fund is a result of a cooperative agreement between the Virginia DEQ and the Department of Business Assistance.
Loans are available in amounts up to $50,000 with an interest rate of 3%. Repayment terms are based on the borrower's ability to repay the loan, as well as the shelf life of the equipment being purchased. There is a $30 application processing fee.
Contact Karen Aylward at the Virginia Department of Business Assistance at (804) 371-8184 to obtain an application.
The MidAtlantic Association of Cleaners will conclude its year-long learning series, "Sharpen Your Knowledge," with a "Getting More Dollars From Your Customers" workshop that will take place at three different locations in November.
The program is set to run in Danville, VA, on Nov. 28, and in Richmond, VA, on Nov. 29. Another workshop is set to take place in northern Virginia on Nov. 30.
David Norford, the association's executive vice president, said, "This particular workshop has a very big dose of customer service training suggestions."

Dennis Schmitt took over from Ron Kantor as president of the Wisconsin Fabricare Institute at the organization's fall conference in September.
Stepping into Schmitt's former post of vice president/treasurer is Arlene Tutkowski of National One-Hour Cleaners in Milwaukee.
Schmitt managed Lindeman's Cleaning Inc. in Green Bay for many years before gaining a piece of the ownership in 1987. Upon the retirement of Ken Lindeman in 1996, he and his wife, Patti, took full ownership of the business.
Joe Phillips, WFI's executive director, said Schmitt "heralds a new generation of leadership that will be charged with ushering into the industry new technologies and trendier way in which to do business."
Schmitt emphasized his desire to open the association to new ideas and accessibility.
Kantor, in his final act as president of WFI, presented Phillips with a plaque that hailed him as "Fabricare Exec of the 20th Century."
Phillips has been working for WFI for nearly 18 years, a time in which the association has had nine different presidents.
While the award thanked Phillips for helping WFI gain a reputation "for being one of the strongest fabric care organizations in the United States," Phillips himself thanked WFI members for teaching him about the drycleaning industry and giving him latitude to advance new ideas and member services.
"It's been a rewarding experience serving with so many successful business people who truly care about their employees, their customers and this industry," Phillips remarked.
About 80 people attended the fall conference which included seminars and social activities over the three day weekend. A special guest was Jan Barlow, chairman of the board of the Michigan Institute of Laundering and Drycleaning and a long-time friend of Schmitt's. Schmitt, along with Tom Swink, have conducted several spotting seminars at Barlow's plant, Jan's Professional Drycleaners in Clio, MI.
The Michigan Institute of Laundering and Drycleaning announced that Frank L. Mortl, III, will be the association's new executive director.
Mortl, who has a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration/Pre-Law from Michigan State University, has served as Director of Member Relations for the Michigan Hotel, Motel & Resort Association for nearly three years and has worked closely with several groups, including MichCon, Senate Majority Leader Dick Posthumus, Governmental Consultant Services and Congressman Dave Camp.
Additionally, MILD also announced its new officers and board of directors at its 87th Annual Meeting held at the Crystal Mountain Resort in Thompsonville, MI, in late July.
Greg Watkins of Watkins Management in Roseville, MI, will serve as the association's president. Joining him are: President Elect Paul White of Roth Cleaners in Bay City, MI; First Vice President Dennis Conant of Master Cleaners in Traverse City, MI; Second Vice President Rick Anderson of Acme Cleaners in Muskegon, MI; Treasurer Rick Fitzpatrick of Pingatore Cleaner in Sault St. Marie, MI; Secretary Cameron Mitchell of Sud-Z Drycleaners/Mitchell Laundry Equipment in Hillsdale, MI; and Jan Caon Barlow of Jan's Professional Cleaners has moved to the Chairman of the Board position.
Area directors elected for the 2000-01 term include: Ray Nordberg of OHM/RE Nordberg Co., Auburn Hills, MI; Jeff Bradford of Bradford's Master Cleaners, Charlevoix, MI; Dave Dupuis of Clayton Cleaners, Bay City, MI; Gary Knight of American Cleaners, Mt. Pleasant, MI; Christian Pfeffer of Shores Cleaners, St. Clair Shores, MI; Dave Barlow of Jan's Professional Cleaners, Clio, MI; Joseph Maurer, Jr., of Maurer's Sanitary Cleaners, Lansing, MI; David J. Underdown, Jr. of Douglas Cleaners, Birmingham, MI; John Baker of Wonderland Cleaners, Livonia, MI; Jeff Fetters of Sanitary Cleaners, St. Joseph, MI; Jeff Davis of Sun Cleaners, Kalamazoo, MI; Warren McArthur of Chelsea Cleaners, Chelsea, MI; Ron Jacqmain of American Garment Cleaners, Saginaw, MI; Michael Munson of RAM Leather Care, Detroit, MI; and Gary Dallas of Holiday 50 Minute Cleaners, Marquette, MI.
Minnesota's 10th Annual Governor's Awards for Excellence in Waste and Pollution Prevention recently recognized Colonial Cleaners of Minneapolis, MN, for its efforts to be environmentally friendly.
Plant owners Soo and Whan Chang, members of the Minnesota Cleaners Association, have owned and operated Colonial Cleaners since 1990.
The Governor's Awards are given annually to six businesses that have demonstrated that developing programs to avoid generating pollution can be both environmentally and economically beneficial.
All nominees are evaluated by a panel of judges chosen by the Minnesota Office of Environmental Assistance. The judges, who have backgrounds in industry, government and environmental organizations, evaluated each project's environmental and economical benefits, the extent to which the organization represents an innovative approach, and the level of commitment and leadership the company exhibits in preventing pollution.
Shortly after, Soo and Whan Chang bought Colonial Cleaners in 1990, they expanded the plant and installed a new perc machine and a shirt laundry area that recycles 85-90 percent of the waste perc and 100 percent of the drycleaning machine's cooling water for re-use on the site.
They added an AquaClean wetcleaning system in 1997, which reduced the plant's perc usage by 40 percent.
Other businesses recognized at the event included the Cortec Corporation, The Green Institute, Hutchinson Technology Incorporated, The Minnesota E85 Team and Rainbow Signs, Inc.The Wisconsin Fabricare Institute launched a statewide print ad campaign on Oct. 8 that will run in the front section of the statewide Sunday edition of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel newspaper for the next six weeks.
Another six-week campaign is planned to take place in the Spring of 2001.
Two separate ads will be alternated throughout the six-week run. One ad features a distraught woman under the headline: "Had a disaster with so-called 'home cleaning' kits?"
Copy underneath reveals the main differences between at-home kits and real drycleaning, which promises to deliver: "expert stain removal, thorough cleaning and professional pressing."
The other ad shows a man dressed in casual wear on the telephone with copy that states: "Many businesses have gone casual... so have we. We clean business casual to formal wear and everything in between. Fast, professional and convenient service."
Back in July, Joe Phillips, executive director for WFI, estimated that the cost to run the advertisements would be approximately $20,000. By mid-September, WFI has already raised about $6,500. However, the association still needed $3,500.
In a letter sent out on Sept. 20 to WFI members, Joe Phillips wrote: "Your Board of Directors is willing to share the cost, but we can't go it alone. We need your help. A deadline of Sept. 30 has been established. With cash or pledges totaling $10,000, we will move forward. If not, the project will be abandoned. It's now in your hands."
As a result, WFI members contributed enough to push the total raised to over $10,000, keeping the project alive.
For more information on the campaign, contact Joe Phillips at WFI, (414) 529-4707.
Thanks to Anton's Cleaners, at least four students will be returning to school this fall with brand new computer systems.

The class is taught by Frank Lucenta, inventor of the Royaltone process and products that make possible his method of cleaning and finishing leather and suede.

At no extra fee, attendees are each given a complete instruction manual, written in either English or Korean, and course completion certificates are awarded to each student who completes the training.

The concept of on-line drycleaning continues to grow every day.
Currently, AmeriCleaners.com is expanding an Internet-based network for drycleaners who wish to offer a pickup and delivery service online.
The web site was launched officially in September by its parent company, SiliconValleyCleaners -- a drycleaning facility out of Redwood City, CA that is owned and operated by Mike Ghazvini.
Ghazvini has already achieved success with online drycleaning for his own plant, which provides free pickup and delivery for drycleaning orders of $10 or more in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The service, which operates from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Mondays through Fridays, began back in January and now boasts over 15,000 users.
"I have seen a huge increase in my customer base since I went online in January," Ghazvini recalled. "It was difficult to market myself."
Using the data he accrued from his efforts with his SiliconValleyCleaners site, he built an improved model.
"The Internet is an enormous power, as far as advertising goes, and an individual cleaner can't always harness that power by themselves," he said.Drycleaning plants that wish to affiliate themselves with AmeriCleaners.com will not be obligated to pay any fees. Instead, AmeriCleaners.com will receive 10% of each order processed on its site, which, coincidentally, will be paid electronically by a credit card before the drycleaning order is even picked up.
In return, AmeriCleaners will maintain the web site, provide service and technical support, and handle all of the marketing.
The company also plans to include a profile of all of its participating plants. "We put a face on the cleaner and the customer feels very good for using the service," Ghazvini explained.While affiliate cleaners won't be responsible for any online maintenance, they will be expected to provide their own delivery route service.
"We don't impose any price on any of our associated cleaners," Ghazvini was quick to point out. "Anyone who signs up with us... we will customize their price list and schedule."
Ghazvini also indicated that drycleaners affiliated with Ameri-Cleaners.com will not be ones looking to steal away customers who are dissatisfied with local cleaners. "They are seeking 'e-generation' consumers who are looking for a drycleaner who is online because that's where they spend a lot of their time," Ghazvini said.
By early October, AmeriCleaners.com had already launched affiliates that represented a large portion of Southern California, including Los Angeles and Orange Counties.
After visiting PDCA's Expo 2000 in Atlantic City, NJ, in September, the company expanded its plans to reach markets on the East Coast, as well. "We have several interested parties from New York. The East Coast is very receptive to the whole idea... Atlanta, Washington D.C. It was a tremendous success at Atlantic City," Ghazvini said.
For more information about AmeriCleaners.com, visit them on the web at www.americleaners.com.
SiliconValleyCleaners also has an Internet address at www.siliconvalleycleaners.com.

The school, operated by the Los Angeles Unified School District in conjunction with CCA, provides instruction in the drycleaning trade and all related subjects. Students will be able to take different modules of the program if they are already working in the trade.
Day, night and weekend classes are available. Daytime classes meet Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. Night classes meet Tuesdays and Thursdays, 5:45 to 8 p.m. Weekend classes are on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2:45 p.m.
The cost is $48.50, which includes the student ID fee.
For more information, call the school at (310) 547-5551 or Joe Torres, (818) 413-0686.
CCA also announced that California Air Resources Board Certification classes are available on the last Saturday of every month in Long Beach, CA, presented by Dallons Environmental Services.
CARB requires all perc drycleaning operators to be certified in air toxic control measure training. Cleaners who don't have a certificate of training posted in their business risk a minimum fine of $150.
The cost is $150 for the initial certification and $75 for the three-year renewal certification. Classes are limited to 30 students. Call Dallons Environmental Services, (800) 347-6551, for more information.
