Give your drycleaning finishing crew a spring tune-up with

SANDRA HARALSON
One of the industries best and most experienced in-plant consultant and trainers.

Sandra began her career in drycleaning at age 17 on a press and worked her way up to in-plant consulting and training. She has done it, can still do it and show your finishers how to do it correctly and efficiently. She will increase your finisher's quality and productivity. The last time we were able to secure Sandra for a finishing class in North Carolina the student's comments told the tale:

"I've attended several finishing classes and I've learned more this time."

"Everything I thought I knew was wrong. Thank you."

"I learned a lot of ways to do my job better and turn out quality garments."

"I got a lot of great ideas."

"The course was very helpful, apparently I wasn't trained correctly."

"We would like to do this again. The class was great."

Sandy's style is to describe the quality points on a garment, take the students to the finishing unit and demonstrate the proper and most productive way to finish the garment then have the students practice the techniques under her watchful eye.

Due to the hands-on nature of this training CLASS SIZE IS LIMITED TO 16 STUDENTS. COST IS:
