SEFA announces February seminars on
finishing, spotting
February will be a good time for cleaners
to brush up on their finishing and spotting skills next year.
The South Eastern Fabricare Association has announced seminars on both subjects
that will take place in Florida.
Drycleaning expert Jane Zellers, who often
serves as the instructor for classes at the Southwest
Drycleaners Association’s school in Lubbock, Texas, will
be on hand to deliver practical cleaning tips.
On Saturday, February 21, a program on
“Professional Finishing” will help attendees
refresh and expand their basic finishing techniques.
Students will also learn about the three
variables inherent in all finishing, making the process much
simpler.
Zellers will be giving live demonstrations
on advanced finishing equipment, as well.
Cleaners who are frustrated looking for
good information on quality spotting will want to attend the
second seminar, “Spot Safe,” which is scheduled for
the following day on Sunday, February 22.
The class will take a close look at some
of the more recent “problem stains” making their
way into drycleaning plants.
It will also cover the correct uses of
acids, alkalis and lubricants and how each reacts to certain
fibers, fabrics, dyes and finishes.
Both seminars will be hosted at Unipress,
Inc., located at 3501 Queen Palm Dr. in Tampa, FL.
Cost is $99 each for SEFA/IFI members, but
only $89 for each additional member.
Non-members must pay $129 each.
For more information on the seminars,
contact the SEFA office by calling (813) 623-3731. Cleaners may
register online at the association’s web site, located at
www.sefa.org.
