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.
