The Wingham Advance-Times, 1979-03-14, Page 61 .. ; pad �» • •.,��- . Y d WftjUm Advance -Times, March 14. 19:9} Owner s s dry cleaning hexplain Donaldson stops off at Brussels, Blyth, Walton, Lucknow, St. Helena, Teeswater, Blusvale, Belgrave and Belmore to pick up AW return garments. John and his wife, Marie, do all the cleaning, drying and pressing at the shop and the volume of business makes the average person's washing load look pretty. small. Spring and fall are the busiest times of the year for the McInneses, when people are getting the past season's clothes cleaned or getting the clothes cleaned for the coming season. All types of clothes are dry cleaned, especially coats and formal wear. Each garment gets the same individual treatment And Lr-spection and though hee isn't b" nosey when he does it, Mr. McInnes goes through the pockets of every piece of clotidng that comes into. the shop. He is looking for foreign articles which might be damaged in the cleaning process. People who have had their garments come back from the dry cleaners with a grey tinge all, over may have had their clothes dry cleaned in a cleaner laden with dirt from other garments, he says. There shouldn't be similar problems at Wingham Drive In Cleaners because Mr. McInnes distills his cleaning solution to keep it pure and discards the distasteful wastes. While other people may work hard to spruce up Wingham in its centennial year by cleaning up the town, painting and trimming, John and Marie McInnes are doing their part by helping Wingham and area people look their best. JOHN AND MARIE McINNES have been operating their own dry cleaning business for 14 years, though they have dry cleaning experience in Wingham for the last 30 years. The processes they use at Wingham Drive -In Cleaners are hard to explain to people, John says, but they like the business. People don't understand John Mclnnes's business and he finds it tough to describe how area clothes are cleaned at Wingham Drive In Cleaners. Everyone but the uninitiated knows how to wash most modern clothes with lauo&y-, detergent and water, but few understand how garments are dry cleaned. He has been in the dry cleaning business in Wingham for about 30,years, the last 14 as his own boss, and in that time the dry cleaning process has changed quite a bit. It is almost hopeless explaining to people the modern dry cleaning process at a per- chlorethylene dry cleaning plant, Mc. McInnes says. Clothes cleaned at the 11 Diagonal Rd. shop do get wet, but with the jierc', which is 14 times heavier than water. Some garments with stubborn stains may be steamed and special spot removing agents applied. Instead of pounding dirt from clothes like water does, the 'We' acts as a poultice, drawing dirt, grease and starches from the material. After a run through the washer and dryer every piece of clothing is scrutinized for remaining stains and these are dealt with by steam, spotting agents or a second run through the dry cleaning process. The result is that about 99 per cent of the garments brm" ick far cleaning go out clean.
