A year or two later, it was time to get some on site training.  I cant recall how i heard about Sandra, but we had her come in and do some in-plant training. Sandra helped us out tremendously!  She gave us suggestions on production, wetcleaning, dry cleaning, spotting, pressing, etc.. you name it!  We also get points from DLI towards the Award of Excellence with her training. I think that our business, the oldest cleaners in N.C., since 1899, has truly benefited from having Sandra!

Every now and then i can all her up and say “hey” this is what i’ve got.  She always helps coach me through problems i may have.  Occasionaly i can send her a picture through my cell phone of certain things and she helps me with no problem.  No matter what questions i may have shes always available to help Vick’s Cleaners.  With having Sandra’s training and knowledge on our side, it keeps our business pushing for Excellence for ourselves and our customers!

Thanks Sandy!

Tim Vick

I have become a more valuable asset to Fashion Cleaners because of the knowledge Sandra has given me, whether it has been during a consultation or a five minute phone call. The fact that you can pick up the phone or send her an email with your major “crisis” of the day, and she gets back to you right away, speaks volumes about her professional integrity. I highly recommend Sandra to everyone I come in contact whether it is at a MFM meeting or a clean show event. She can always help you come to a resolution while challenging your ability at the same time. Only great teachers can inspire an individual to improve their skill and ability and I feel Sandra definitely fits that mold.

Sincerely,

just opened this “long list”…..can’t wait to get it all done! Every time you come I know, 100%, that THE CLEANING CO. will step it up one more time. Thanks for all you do to improve the quality of workmanship that your training allows….know that what you are able to teach people in our dry-cleaning plants is not only making our drycleaners more profitable, but improving the quality of lives in our employees by educating them to do a more valuable job within our industry….they all love you! EZ and Manuel were asking when “Sandy is coming back?”

The afternoon you left, Carlyle came in from school and ask where you were….we all just get accustomed to you being “one of us”. We will see you in December and look forward to what you have in store for us then.

I am writing to thank you for the invaluable training and consulting you have provided to our company. Thanks to your advice, we have become more efficient and our production staff has much more confidence and skill in handling the fine textiles that our customers have entrusted to us. With your expert tips on the maintenance and care of our equipment, we feel sure that their useful life has been greatly extended. I would also like to thank you for encouraging our staff to call you directly as questions arise between your twice yearly on-site visits. This service has probably saved us a lot of time and money in unnecessary service calls or parts. You are truly helping us provide the world class service our customers have come to expect.

Sincerely,

With our valued consultants we feel we will continue to grow as a company. One such consultant is Sandra Haralson. We have her come in twice a year to revitalize our Dry Cleaning department.

She is a walking encyclopedia on the dry cleaning industry. She helps us with our equipment to be sure it is being utilized to its full potential. She inspects everything from top to bottom and lets us know what is working and what needs fixed. She guides us in the area of OSHA / DEQ and what the requirements are on our machines, what forms, procedures that need attention etc.. What programs work best on what loads.

She is also an excellent trainer for any position from spotting to pressing to wet cleaning. She knows so much and what she doesn’t; she will find out and help us learn.

Sandra is also one of the very best consultants that offer help and support with any question or problem that comes along at any time of day or night she is just a phone call away. (We have her on our speed dial “)

Sandra has learned everything the hard way so she understands our staffs’ frustrations when they are struggling with something. She is very patient and great to have as a part of Mt. Hood family of consultants.
