How to Dry Clean Dress Shirts : Dry Cleaning: Pressing Dress Shirt Cuffs & Collars

Oh, and when he says that pressing it wet gives it a better feeling, he's false. It is pressed damp on the buck so it doesn't scorch. You can't dry-press on this kind of steam press. And one more thing about the "lazy operators-broken buttons" comment. We use extra buttons on the shirt first, so they match up perfectly. It is no fault of the operator that the buttons break. That is why dry-cleaners have an abundance of various buttons.

I am a shirt press operator. I read a comment about operators being lazy and that is the reason that buttons break. It IS NOT laziness. The heat from the press can sometimes cause plastic buttons to shatter or break in half. That is why the buttons get replaced, at no additional charge to the customer. Also, on a buck, or shirt press like the one in the video, you CANNOT dry press them. It will cause what is called a "scorch". The shirt needs re-washed if that happens.

You can just clean dry-clean cloths at home

by placing a damp cloth over the cloths, then iron in. It cleans and straitens it.

You mean "You can just PRESS clothes at home." Dry cleaning means without using water.

If they can't clean your shirts with any quality (including not breaking the buttons) and recommend drycleaning the shirts, they outta just not charge you DC price.  That's what the cleaners I work at does. If for whatever reason the business shirts aren't washed and d/c'ed instead, they just charge the customer the $2.05 still per shirt.

My drycleaner breaks some of my buttons on some brands of my expensive shirts. I believe it's sheer laziness on the part of the operators, not the temperature of the press. I also didn't realize how detailed the attention to pressing was. I do appreciate it, but at 1.95 per shirt for laundering, I DO believe I can expect more careful handling. My cleaner tells me to dryclean the ones whose buttons seem to break. I'm NOT going to spend 5.75 a shirt!!! Don't you agree?

Poor Magda, If she were better trained she could do so much more.

Good effort and wonderful spirit on behalf of the participants in this series.

There are lots of consultants that can help these people learn better quality and production methods. Give one a call big guy.
