“Take a coffee stain,” Quay<br />
says. “There can be several components<br />
in that one stain: coffee,<br />
a sugar, a dairy product. Many<br />
off-the-shelf spot removers can’t<br />
handle those stains.”<br />
Other items are wet cleaned—<br />
washed in detergents, additives,<br />
and specialized machinery. Still<br />
others, most notably buttondown<br />
shirts, are destined for the<br />
laundry. And some garments<br />
are washed individually by hand<br />
with specialized additives and a<br />
lot of care and time.<br />
Some of the machines at<br />
Quality Cleaners are among the<br />
best in the business. Quay says<br />
that his BÖWE M26 dry cleaner<br />
machine is “the Rolls Royce of<br />
dry cleaning machines,” and he<br />
loves his Sankosha presses.<br />
So, why bring your clothes<br />
to a cleaner, when much of the<br />
work could be done at home if<br />
one has the time and the desire?<br />
Take ironing. It’s a relatively<br />
simple task—you haul out the<br />
board, plug in the iron, select a<br />
heat setting, and iron away. But it<br />
can take forever, and some items<br />
are too big to iron at home (plus<br />
it’s really hard to get that snappy<br />
pants crease like the dry cleaner<br />
provides).<br />
Instead of ironing at home,<br />
one can take advantage of Quality<br />
Cleaners’ experience, equipment,<br />
and technique. They use a<br />
press system with a slight vacuum<br />
in the ironing board that keeps<br />
the garment from moving. Quay<br />
and his team know when to apply<br />
steam, when to apply heat, and<br />
when to let the garment cool<br />
(that’s how they get that snappy<br />
pants crease!)<br />
Quay works constantly to<br />
improve his business’s efficiency.<br />
For example, existing customers<br />
can drop off their items in about<br />
thirty seconds, saving them a<br />
few minutes with each visit. He<br />
also took a hard look at all of the<br />
store’s functions and relocated<br />
some to decrease time spent<br />
going from station to station.<br />
He’s tweaked some of his formulations,<br />
like enzyme ingesters,<br />
to lessen the physical impact on<br />
garments and extend their life.<br />
Back to that question: why<br />
bring your clothes to Quality<br />
Cleaners?<br />
Because they’re dedicated,<br />
they innovate, they save you time,<br />
and they can extend the life of<br />
your garments. Plus, your clothes<br />
will look way better than after<br />
you do them yourself.<br />
Quality Cleaners is open<br />
Monday through Friday from 7<br />
a.m. to 7 p.m., and on Saturdays<br />
from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. They offer<br />
free pickup and delivery and also<br />
provide alterations. Give them<br />
a call at (508) 376-9100, or visit<br />

Dean College Presents:<br />
Scapino!, <strong>October</strong><br />
25-28, <strong>2018</strong><br />
The School of the Arts at Dean College will perform<br />
Scapino!, beginning Thursday, <strong>October</strong> 25 through<br />
Sunday, <strong>October</strong> 28, <strong>2018</strong>.<br />
Inspired by the French playwright Molière’s original<br />
1671 play, Les Fourberies de Scapin, Frank Dunlop and<br />
Jim Dale have heightened Molière’s comedy with slapstick<br />
and burlesque, resulting in a story of the most engaging<br />
nonsense. Set in contemporary Naples, Italy, two sons, two<br />
daughters, and two fathers find themselves mixed up in the<br />
crafty Scapino’s plot to solve romantic problems faced by<br />
two of his friends. A fast-talking, quick-thinking scamp,<br />
Scapino cleverly manipulates and cajoles everyone into<br />
doing what he intends them to do.<br />
The Dean College production of Scapino! will take place<br />
in the Main Stage in the Campus Center at Dean College,<br />
109 West Central Street, <strong>Franklin</strong> at 7:30 p.m. Thursday –<br />
Saturday and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. General admission<br />
is $22, Seniors $12 and Children $7.<br />
