DLI Returns to California for Summer Blended Stain Removal Course: Course Combines Virtual & In-Person Training

Brian Johnson, Education Director for the Drycleaning & Laundry Institute, is heading to California for the Institute’s next West Coast Stain Removal course this summer. The course blends virtual learning and one day of in-person training in Anaheim, California. Sponsored by the California Cleaners Association, students will use stain removal boards donated by Sankosha USA, and facilities are provided by U.S. Western Multitech in Anaheim, home of Walt Disneyland.

Maximum Flexibility at Minimum Cost

DLI’s West Coast Stain Removal Course combines the convenience of virtual meetings with the instructional power of hands-on, practical training. Students will meet online for two hours on five different days before heading to the spotting board for a full-day of hands-on training in Anaheim.

Course Topics

• Removing coffee, ink, grease, and other stains from clothing.
• Identifying cotton, silk, polyester, and other fabrics.
• Using bleaches without damaging the fabric color.
• Using specialty products such as digesters, amyl acetate, and acetone in stain removal.
• Identifying fibers and fabric construction.

DLI’s School of Drycleaning Technology offers this course in a blended learning format. The added flexibility helps make the course more accessible for students and their managers. “Convenience is a huge factor for the students,” Johnson said. “Our previous students loved the course because they didn’t have to leave their jobs and families for a full week to come to the school. With the blended course format students develop this critical skill while learning the hands-on part in a much shorter time.”
