Pressing Pleated Pants at a Dry Cleaner

Pressing pants using a puffer and a 42" utility press

This is awesome! I work at a laundromat/dry cleaner and I don't often get to use the press but when I finally do I'm coming back to this video!

What an art. Bless your hands.

Thank you for these videos! I'm taking over the drycleaning and pressing work at a laundromat in my town and sometimes struggle with the press work. Having a video to look at is extremely helpful, we have a very similar press. I wish I was closer, I'd ask if i could come watch and learn from you in person! All the best!

You should be able to do 20 pants to 25 an hour once you get good

My friend I am a Dry Cleaner of 44 years you never put a crease in chinos. A crease makes the cotton fade and you end up with a white line. The same as you should never have a crease in a shirt. My moto is no crease you will never have a double. Ps. Show us some spotting techniques that will be interesting. God Bless

44 years and you've never put a crease in a pair of chinos successfully?! I do my customers every week, no fade, no double crease... If I took my clothes to you and you said "no crease, no double" id walk straight out haha Of course you put a crease down a shirt sleeve, thats why their bringing it to you! Do it right Either it has a purpose and means something or don't bother at all...

@@fezza96 No i will put a crease in a pair of cotton chinos if there is one and if the customer desires no prob but to put a crease where there is not one it is not right same with jeans. PS how long have you been into textiles. And can you teach me to clean leather and suede?

[@fezza96]

Dude... you can do all that first bit on the buck...its just over complicating it! And get those creases all the way to the top, if you've matched them up right you can get them practically to the waist band! don't you want the customer to look down and see them start from their not half way up the leg? Not a bad effort but it took forever... Also why use the back of the press for pressing your creases? get that box of pens and junk off your press and use the front!
