spotting station Explanation: Ernst gives: detachieren, Flecke entfernen / remove stains Detachiermittel n / stain remover, spotting agent --- The dry cleaning process begins when soiled garments are brought to dry cleaning stores. Garments with visible stains are treated at spotting stations. Spotting chemicals, contained in squeeze bottles, are applied to the stain. The next step in the process involves washing, extracting, and drying. Clothes are manually loaded into washing machines. Detergent and solvents are poured over the garments. Water is also added to the system to aid in the removal of water-soluble soils. The contents of the machine are agitated, allowing the solution to remove the soils. Next, the clothes are spun at high speed to extract solvents. After extraction, the fabric is spun dry. Warm air vaporizes the residual solvent and unheated air is passed through to reduce wrinkles. Fresh air is added to freshen and deodorize clothing. Garments are removed and placed on the pressing machine, where they are heated to temperatures around 150°C (300°F). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 35 mins (2008-01-17 10:13:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- or simply "spotting table" Reference: http://www.pollutionissues.com/Co-Ea/Dry-Cleaning.html |
