This is a course that will familiarize you with modern, commercial drycleaning stain removal practice in the United States. DLI has been an active association of drycleaners for a long time: its president’s office has a nice oil painting of W.J. Stoddard,* painted from life long ago. That said, the trainers will be familiar with what is and is not currently feasible (legal) in the US; the trainer will also know how the reagents for a stain might be affected by subsequent cleaning methods used to clean the rest of the garment.

* W. J. Stoddard and Lloyd E. Jackson invented Stoddard solvent or “white spirit” in 1924. Stoddard was an Atlanta drycleaner!
