Sandra can relate to our team in a very effective way. She understands the science of Drycleaning and can relate it to our team very well. Sandra also is very well versed in the operations of our machinery and also understands when there is a mechanical problem and not an operators problem. I’m sure any one that hires Sandra will be happy with there results.

Sandra quite simply is the best! We have hired numerous consultants over
the years and none have approached the practical manner in which Sandra
addresses issues. She is “hands-on”, in-depth and really gets to the root
of a problem. Almost immediately she can sense the hot spots and more
importantly propose solutions. If you need someone who has a down-to-earth
style and who your employees will like visiting your operation then Sandra
is your girl!

Thanks Again Sandra and we look forward to you coming back again soon.

I met sandra several years ago at a Clean Show in Orlando. After going to dinner with several friends and Sandra, i dont think i ever thought about having her come and service our plant. To be honest, i dont even know if she did consulting work then.

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!

Sandra has been an invaluable asset to our company. When I transitioned from customer service manager to production manager she helped me every step of the way. She gave me a detailed hands-on course in stain removal, basic maintenance, wet cleaning, dry cleaning machine operation, and also helped me address some of our finishing concerns. Sandra’s ability to simplify the process and have everyone understand, even the most technical point, has been a key to our continued success.

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,

Sandy Haralson is a “hands on trainer.” Her 30 plus years of experience as a presser, cleaner, spotter, CSR, and maintenance repair technician are second to none. She has an extraordinary ability to communicate her techniques in a language people can comprehend. Sandy observes the symptoms before diagnosing the problem and only then moves to a workable solution. Given any garment and its condition, Sandy can tell you how to clean it, clean it herself, or advise you to return it to the customer as unserviceable. The neatest thing I can say is that our people fight to get her time. We operate 8 plants and they all want her for the entire week. She speaks frankly and openly with respect to her recommendations and stands firm in her opinions. Sandy is as good as they come.
