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!

Students who took the Virtual Stain Removal Course said:

“This was one the most informal and helpful classes I have ever taken. The knowledge that Mr. Brian Johnson provided made my job so much easier. Special thanks to Brian Johnson!”
“I did not have a problem with the three-hour format. Brian made the class informative and enjoyable.”
"I was very lucky that I took this course because I learned about many things like fabrics and how to remove stains from different kinds of material. And also, new vocabulary because I’m a Spanish speaker, and my English is basic. I enjoyed every single class. Brian answered all the questions I asked."
