How shirts get pressed & ironed at the dry cleaner

- This is how most dry cleaners dry, press, and iron shirts.
Wet shirts (yes shirts always have to be damp when loaded onto a buck) are loaded onto this machine, a shirt buck, which uses some pretty fancy tech to ensure it isn’t pulling too hard on the fabrics.
Then it’s blown out with steam to get rid of stubborn wrinkles and then air to dry it.
The good ones will touch up shirts by hand as the plackets and cuffs are usually tricky areas (pleats are not easy to iron).
Let me know what other dry cleaning processes you’d like to learn about!

It's called dry cleaners because they use special chemicals, but no water is present in those chemicals making them dry according to chemistry.
Dress shirts are laundered. Dry cleaning would be ok too, but not necessary, unless it’s silk, linen, or rayon, which all lose strength in water. Cotton is the exception, as it becomes stronger when wet, therefore it is laundered and pressed on a machine like this. LSR shirts (Linen Silk Rayon) cost more to clean because they are typically hand ironed after dry cleaning, and can’t be put on a press, which would shrink/destroy them. Women’s blouses don’t fit on a press (designed for men’s shirts only) and have to be hand ironed, therefore more labor and more cost. Former dry cleaner with 15 years of experience.
Most dry cleaners offer actual laundering services too. Which is what that shirt did
@@michaelsuk6440 Ah my apologies, that was just the main way i understood why it was different from regular cleaning.
@@michaelsuk6440 Really unfair that presses are only designed for men's sizes and therefore women have to pay more, though definitely not the first time we've had to pay more for certain products.
how about for a 88% polyesters 12% spandex button down mens shirt? Taking it to the drycleaners today and wondering what i should say..if anything lol. All i know is no starch..wash cold inside out. Thanks for any advise!@@michaelsuk6440
Double buck was my nickname in High School 👀
My first job in the US. It was brutal. Hot as hell and you have to work super fast.
Where i can that machine and where i can know how this thing actually works no information is given about this machine in google ?
This video me feel better about my collection of shirts..
This is how drycleaners. While its still wet
luxury Garment...ok juga

Hallo
Didn't realize I need NASA machinery just to iron a damn shirt.
that's why you bring them to a dry cleaner so they do it for you
Lmao
It's also really expensive... a middle six-figure number (up to 1 mil depending on the manufacturer and configurations), and they have to be replaced in less than 10 years... every two years in an industrial production setting...
@@neko2412nekohuh, gotta iron a lotta shirts to get the money back 😂
@@Soarano true, but roughly around 100 billion clothing items are produced each year; so for producers that's not a problem. People don't realize how big the clothing industry actually is when you are not directly working in it... it is also No. 2 on the most environmental damaging industries. A lot of dirty laundry 😅😂
I used to work at a dry cleaners. This one is way fancier than most places could afford for one, and for two, it's also way slower. At my old place of work, my coworker could've done 5 shirts in the time he took to do 2, on an older machine with less features, held together with home repairs.
LOL! - Yeah, but your coworker needs to stop and eat! That machine doesn't!
@SP-io7lj no, someone still needs to load the shirts on the machine, so the machine *does* stop for lunch when the worker does. Besides, I think you might have misread my comment. We had a machine that was faster than this one even though it was older and much less fancy.
Do u wanna cookie?
Do u think the quality of what you mentioned be equal or greater than the fancy machine in the vid?
@Simone-zb2bk I do believe that it would be equal or greater in quality, yes. Quality is generally a function of how much someone cares, not what tools they have. Tools can certainly help, don't get me wrong. But if someone doesn't care and has good tools, the product will still be inferior. And if someone cares a lot and has crappy tools, they will work until the product is satisfactory.
Two years ago i got my first really nice suit. Ive only wore it like 10 times and since its a winter suit, ive only wore it with tights on my legs and a couple of layers underneath. But it was time to wash it and i was: nervous.
Then my mom told me she has been just tossing on the washing machine her really nice suits for almost 20 years and they look amazing (she has only used dry cleaning for a couple of them that had embroidery)
You can technically wash a suit but don't put in dryer or use hot water or you'll fuck up suit it will shrink
As long as you use the appropriate settings and products it should be fine. Just dont put it in the dryer
You would be surprised at what some dry cleaners could wash and tell you that aswell me and my mum work in a dry cleaners it's only us but if we know we also tell the customers honesty is best
@@kelt7241 I know I have customer come in with items that can be washed and we say that but they don't want to take chance and be lazy and pay us to do it 😂
@@tonystank_kick if only they knew what we do too the wedding dresses hahaaa! Sukkaaas!
very interesting. I remember when I lived near a good Dry Cleaner. Those were good times. Now I would have to drive 50 miles or more to get to one.
My mom did this for 25 years for 8 hours a day for 6 days a week for $500-600 per week. It makes me sad to think about.
That machine seems like an overkill of technology just to iron or press a shirt. 😢
I loved using this machine in 2008. It was so much fun. The most i pressed was about 750 shirts in one day.
Where i can that machine and where i can know how this thing actually works no information is given about this machine in google ?
@harsha74l92 I don't know. I worked at a cleaners.
I hand pressed many shirts for many years... this looks so much fun!
It actually is pretty fun. I love it when I get to cover for the lady who opperates this machine at work.
Thank you dry cleaners let's give it up for the work they do
salut❤
They don’t do shit
Pride in your business and workmanship. More than happy to pay for good work.
This is how DRY cleaners do it. When the shirt is still WET... Wait, what just happened here? 😮
Itne time mai to hamare idhar ke mistri ne 3 shirts press kar diye hot😂
😮eew? The boards are so dark and musty. They dont change it regularly and they call themselves cleanfreaks. 😂😂😂
I hand wash my $200 dress shirts, hang wet to dry wrinkle free, no damage to shirts. Dry clean can destroy your shirts overtime.
Dam wish i had setup like you do
Sankosha shirt press. Press and Progress, as they say. Very little touch-ups needed. Japan has it down to a science.
Shirt buck all coated with silicone grease (CeraVe)😢😂
how much price this machine
100k
@@jeevesnyno way
He's still paying for it till this day
@@jeevesnyYou got robbed
Where i can that machine and where i can know how this thing actually works no information is given about this machine in google ?
I had to do it on a press
So after the machine does the thing they still iron it? Seems like a waste of money
Wow! So neat!
whatchu mean "while the shirts are still wet" like sir is this not DRY cleaning ??? 😅😅
Just wanted to point out, this is type of reaction content that doesn't actively contibute to the downfall of youtube. I see so many shorts channels that i can now know there whole "reaction" would have been like, it would have been something like this "what is going on here? hes puts the Tshirt on this long board, they must be drying it or something, so cool and now he's doing it on a flat board wow" thanks for taking the time to put effort into your shorts to be informative.
That seems like a lot of machine for a couple shirts…
Sankosha shirt presses are the best in the industry (also most expensive, but worth it). Press and Progress
Do not take your dress shirts to the dry cleaners. This kind of processing destroys the buttons within 3 washes, leaving them brittle and broken. And the material is so over heated that it shrinks significantly at each wash. Never never ruin your shirts this way.
So how do they manage to break all the buttons every time?
Shirt presses use 160 psi. Cheap, plastic buttons aren’t made for that. Choose a dry cleaner that charges more. They offer button replacement as a courtesy. It’s a fact that all of the equipment in the industry is hard on clothes. Good dry cleaners/launderers charge more for touch-ups and button replacements that are on-the-house. Pay less get less. Pay more get more. It’s a fact of business. For example: if you live in CA and pay 5.00 for a pressed shirt and broken buttons, then that’s the worst service. If you pay 7.50 a shirt but have all buttons intact, you’re going to the right place. Inflation, inflation, inflation. I remember when you could get full-service in MN for 3.50 a shirt. Those days are long gone. Former dry cleaner with 15+ years of experience.
I worked at a dry cleaners, and I burned so many shirts doing this job. 😂
Thank you for sharing; sometimes we don’t know the processes and is always an interesting experience to learn how it’s done. 👍🏼
I've worked at a dry cleaners in a small town. They do not use those kinds of machines.
The newer ones actually inflate the shirt with hot air and steam and dry/press it that way super cool and you can easily do about 40 shirts an hour with perfect quality.

The price for this machine
Yeah the dry cleaning industry will really need that machine because people are tired of doing it for years.
so while it's damp they blow a hot air and as a way to create steam?
salut je suis au Burkina je cherche du travail du pressing
Some rich dry cleaners these.
I always clean my new clothes before wearing them. Why did I get my first time drycleaned suit back and it stunk like dirty laundry? I threw it away because the stink never went away.
And the process kills the buttons on all my shirts.
You can always hand-iron them. Or you can use a dry cleaner that charges more, but also replaces broken buttons as a courtesy. Pay more, get more. Everything is an expense in business. If you want more with less hassle, you have to pay for it. Dry cleaner with 15 years experience.
@michaelsuk6440 been there tried that. Half the dry cleaners in my town send their shirts to the same larger facility. They all replace the buttons but none match what is on the shirts. And they all promised to treat the shirts nicer when asked.
Where to i can buy this machine
You have to sell your kidneys to buy this machine 😂
My cleaners is definitely not a "good one" because I end up having to touch up my shirts all the time. Did one today that had a smashed front pocket. Frustrating to say the least.
You need to complain , you paying
@@Mandidzv -- It's a chain and they don't actually process the items on site. Most of the people who work there are teenagers and they don't give a flying flip, so complaining does little. I can do a better job myself it's just takes so much time; it's the only reason I pay for the service, to save time.
You need to say something to the cleaners, that’s not fair that you paid and still have to finish them up.
I did this for a while at a wet cleaning business, touching up is so annoying but so satisfying
Every time I get my Shirts back the sleeves get longer and longer. Now I see why.
One of the many arts that are lost on most people today. This is awesome. I had to wear a suit for years and you guys kept me fresh. Thank you for what you do!
My dry cleaners always ruins my shirt buttons. 😢
The buttons are plastic and low quality and they break in the middle of the ironing process. Next time ur in ask them to replace the buttons. Usually there’s no charge.
Luke I am your father .it made me think of that 😂
Cool, I finally know how the dresscleaner around my corner handles the huge amount of clothes, shirts, blouses, trousers and jackets his customers bring in. He has or invisible co-workers in a steamy basement or he lets some other company do the bigger part of the job.😅
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. (Luke 13:5)
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. (Isaiah 64:6)
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. (Romans 3:10-12)
You know what. Korean - Vietnamese - Mexican. That how jobs cycle.
Touching up by hand is a Pair of Pants ???? Maybe these are Pant Shirts ?? 😅😅
Then you grab a shirt and wrinkle it back to kingdom come while wearing it for 5 minutes
I feel like " Cher Howrowitz," from Clueless would have one...
Why would anybody get that first shirt dry-cleaned? Total waste
Still though the design look cheap, or i just don't like it. Being shaped all my life
I think my ex girlfriend was a double buck.
Can someone please tell me if they think using snap down buttons are no different then regular button? Do the snaps get ruined?
I would love to work their
Daily reminder we already invented long ago textiles that don’t need to be ironed, but humans specifically find them “not formal” exactly because they don’t need to be ironed. As in, the difficulty is the point.
It’s like how we can literally make diamonds in a lab but people go “nah it’s the children suffering in mines that makes it special”, but worse - it’s me having to iron my shirt
hm. looks like my woman’s shirt would fit on there just fine. 😶
After tuckin it in your trousers it wrinkles again,pretty useless...
All I hear, shirt fk, because it can handle 2 at a time, blown out 2 more times
This is old technology. I remember in the 90s and 2000s growing up , these were already around
EVERYTHING in the wash and press business is old school...you expect drones and robots to be washing you shirts?
Not too old that even my local dry cleaner doesn't even own anything like it.
Why dry cleaner's shirts would be wet?🤔
"This is how *dry* cleaners iron shirts."
"While the shirts are still *wet..."*
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
what do you mean still wet? I thought it was supposed to be DRY cleaned
While still wet! Didn't know that
Thats Royal Caribbean cruise line laundry.
Most, if not all, shirt pressing bucks don't blow out the shirt with steam, the shirt is inflated with air, then two plates sandwich the inflated shirt. The plates are heated with steam and they do the pressing. That's why sometimes you get wrinkles in the pocket or near the collar. This is very hard on the shirt and they won't last as long as they would if you washed them, let them air dry, and then ironed them yourself.
Where i can that machine and where i can know how this thing actually works no information is given about this machine in google ?
@@harsha74l92 these are very large machines that process thousands of shirts a day. They use a ton of steam that requires a large steam boiler. They are found in dry cleaners. It would not be suitable for home use.
Can you please tell me Where can i get full nformation about that ?
I'd like one of these at home.
Well what about the smell coming from the armpits
Is there one for pants? .
And what if it's a big shirt or little shirt?
That shirt looked too perfect to be put on any body 😂😂😂
Why would it be wet if they are called Dry Cleaners?
Not all dry cleaners have this machine
So it's not dry cleaned?
Where's steam coming from please
I remember those days when I was in that position .
Your mom is a double buck because she can handle 2 at a time 😂😂
double buck HMMMMM II knew a couple double bucks
Just do it by hand from the beginning!
How can a shirt be wet if it’s a DRY cleaners
This machine uses steam. Steam is made from... water, it makes things wet. Its worth noting this shirt is cotton which gets stronger when wet.
Call me a double buck because I can also take two at a time
Only for me to wrinkle my sht within secs 😅
Why tf I heard shirt fuck.. 😭😭
Dang the pads are yellow need to change them
Hi please share machine details
Thought he said schrute buck
I need one of those for my home
This is a crime against humanity
I want a machine like that lol
How much per shirt is a good cost? I don’t mind paying for quality, same as artists deserve to be paid, but I also don’t want to get hoodwinked for subpar work. Now I know to double check how well the seams are pressed.
Depends on where you are in the world. Here in Ottawa, Canada, our company charges $5.30/shirt +tax. $5.75 if it is French cuff. I would say this is on the higher end, but so is our quality.
That foo gonna be extra firme
May shirt are ironed dry not wet
My ex was a doublebuck as well
The most useless job possible.
