    |  Pierrette Leclerc, an employee with Valley View Cleaners since 2000,
      takes care of the pressing and finishing of the cleaned clothes. Here she
      is shown pressing a shirt on the automatic press. In the foreground you
      can see two Flat Ironers which are also used on other clothes. |

    |  The Form Finishing Machines, shown
      to the side, also called "Suzies"
      are specially designed to steam press suits, jackets, dresses, etc. The
      steam comes up from inside and an air bag inflates to press the item. Once
      pressed, the clothes are placed in plastic bags and
      then on to the conveyor rack for pick up. Many customers wash their shirts at home and then bring them in for
      pressing. The charge for having shirts pressed only is 2/3 of the combined price for
      cleaning and pressing. For example, you can get a simple dress shirt
      washed and pressed for $3.25. If you just want it pressed, it will cost
      you about $2.20. |
