Instruction manual

1

Find a room that would meet both your goals and the many requirements that permitting organizations make for dry cleaning equipment. It is important for you that the area of ​​the room allows you to separate the reception and distribution area from the production premises and the warehouse, and the building is connected to powerful engineering communications (electricity, water, heating, sewage and ventilation). For inspecting authorities, it is important that the dry cleaning reception center is at least 80 meters away from the apartment buildings and located on the ground floor of a separate building.

2

Order a dry cleaning point project in a specialized company, and when it is ready, coordinate it in the department of architecture and urban planning of the local administration, in the fire inspection body and the Rospotrebnadzor department. Often, permission is also required from environmental services, which always pay attention to enterprises of this kind. It is worth starting re-equipment of the building of the future dry-cleaning (or its construction) only after passing through the entire chain of preliminary approvals.

3

Explore the market for laundry and dry cleaning equipment, taking into account all the offers of both new and used equipment. A big plus of the supply of new equipment from the manufacturer is its warranty service and repair, as well as the ability to organize training for staff. For industrial dry cleaning equipment, several (at least two) perchlorethylene apparatus, a spot-removal cabin, and several steam-air mannequins are needed.

4

Get staff for your dry cleaning service. The number of employees depends on the size of the enterprise, usually two or three people are involved in the production area and one in the collection point. The best option for personnel policy is to recruit people without experience and qualifications, taking into account mainly their personal qualities, and then organize short-term training for them.
