Dry Cleaner
Dry cleaners care for, clean, repair and rejuvenate
clothing, curtains, bedding and furnishings, by operating dry
cleaning and ironing machines.
Dry cleaners may perform the following tasks:
- sort and examine articles, picking out those that may
need hand spotting, or treatment of stains
- sort articles into lots of equal weight, colour and type
and load into computer-operated dry cleaning machines
- unload the machines when the cleaning cycle is completed
- iron and press clean articles, or send them to the
finishing section where the garment is pressed by steam and
vacuum
- operate a boiler
- check and inspect garments to make sure customer
requirements have been met
- replace missing buttons and make minor repairs
- waterproof garments and apply other finishes
- operate wet cleaning machines
- perform basic maintenance on dry cleaning and pressing
equipment
- put together orders and dispatch goods.
Dry cleaners require a thorough knowledge of how fabrics
and their blends react to the various stages of the dry
cleaning process, and must be able to give specialised
treatment to fabrics and materials such as wool, silk,
leather, vinyl and to beading and other decorative finishes.
The work can be warm and steamy but most workplaces are
well ventilated and have exhaust fans or evaporative coolers.
Dry cleaners are required to stand for long periods. Customer
contact may also be necessary.
