Unironically go in there and explain how you've been fascinated by dry cleaners since you were a kid. Offer to take lower pay until you know the ropes. I can't imagine a dry cleaner would turn down someone who was enthusiastic and wanted to learn unless they were desperate for someone who they didn't need to teach. Also, you're obviously autistic so dial it back 20 percent when you go in to ask.

>>53391761
What should i say? I never applied for a job and i'm too shy to ask. I wanted to be a dry cleaner for the last 3.5 years and i have visited dry cleaners just to ask about how do they do it, how does the machine work etc. I am aware that this is a weird interest anf i tell that i wanted to be a dry cleaner to someone who works in this industry, i would probably get mocked.

>>53392079
>hello i would like apply for a job
>what makes you want this job
>i think dry cleaners are cool, and want to learn. I can promise to show up on time and work my hardest.

>>53391761
>Also, you're obviously autistic so dial it back 20 percent when you go in to ask.
fucking. kek.
I'm dying

>>53391761
> Also, you're obviously autistic so dial it back 20 percent when you go in to ask

fucking lmao, sage advice here OP

>>53392079
Just go in and ask, anon. Fuck it.

They have been searching for an "experienced worker" for over a month. Should I go there and ask me to teach the job? Would they understand my autistic interest in dry cleaning?

Two frens provided you with perfect answers, now stop being an autist and get that job. Tomorrow morning.

>>53392424
This exact thing. And post an update telling us how it goes.

>>53392424
I'm far from my hometown now, for a week. When I go back there, I will try myself. Should I ask a local dry cleaner here to teach me how to do this job?

The dry cleaner take my suits to has a downie working for them. I'm sure you'll do fine anon.

>>53392399
>They have been searching for an "experienced worker" for over a month.
Job postings look for the "ideal" candidate. Just go in and interview and explain your autistic passions

theres a latex solvent used a lot nowadays, also a petroleum hydrocarbon. very few dry cleaners still use pce. also, stay based. someone needs to cleanse the world

also, make sure theres a machine in the shop youre applying at, you damn autist. not all dry cleaners shops operate on-site. quite a few are simply drop-off locations and have a big warehouse elsewhere

>>53391702
I need to dry clean some pillow cases, is this possible to do at home?

>>53391702
Do they need anyone to clean up? Once you get in the industry, even if you're not doing the actual dry cleaning, it's much easier to move up than it is for an outsider with no exp to get hired.

>>53391702
Best thread on biz rn. Pleas make a follow up thread after you do this.

>>53392738
>>53392755
They almost exclusively use PCE for dry cleaning in my country. And yes, most dry cleaners have machines in their shops.

>>53392605
>Should I ask a local dry cleaner here to teach me how to do this job?
I'd go in and tell them what your situation is and ask if they have any pointers for you when interviewing. If nothing else, you'll get over some of that fear of the unknown.
When you go in to apply, aim for dressing 20% nicer than the person you usually see working there. It'll make you look clean and responsible without going overboard. [Clean shoes, and (probably) ironed shirt and khakis. I'm guessing a tie would be overkill, but I guess that would depend on the way the shop presents itself.]

>>53392771
>dry cleaning pillow cases
Why?

I managed the world’s best dry cleaners. Why the heck do you wanna get in the cleaners industry? It’s a lot like the chocolate business where we could price up things and withstand recessions

>>53392973
I have told an owner of a dry cleaning business about my interest in dry cleaning and he said that I should work on dry cleaning. Dry cleaners found my interest strange. Is it strange to be interested in dry cleaning?

>>53393230
>Is it strange to be interested in dry cleaning?
I mean... yes, it is. But fuck it. I'm sitting here drinking chocolate milk with vodka and kahlua, so we all have our issues.
Like anon said, just dial it back 20%.

>>53393216
I also love chemistry, machines and textiles. Dry cleaning is a combination of those and I had an interest in dry cleaning from childhood. I am fully aware that this sounds autistic. I want to be a dry cleaner, yes, weird.

>>53391702
Best blog I've seen in a while. Please keep us updated, if you're 22 years or less go there and tell them you want the job because of the reasons you mentioned and it wouldn't be weird at all. Most probably they'll give it to you.

>>53393678
>I also love chemistry, machines and textiles. Dry cleaning is a combination of those and I had an interest in dry cleaning from childhood.
There you go. That's what you say when they ask you why you want to get into dry cleaning. Nailed it, anon.

>>53393779
I will try my best when I go back home. I am younger than 22. I don't think any dry cleaner has seen a young person unironically interested in dry cleaning, I hope they don't think I'm joking.

>>53391761
LOL. This is the funniest thing I’ve read in a week.

>>53394157
I hope they'll give the job to you, probably nobody applied but they'll tell you they'll make an exception with you because you seem interested in taking the job and you live close enough. If not, don't worry it's not the only dry cleaner in the world.
T. Just a friendly frogposter schizo

OP is adorable, I hope you make it dry cleaner-chan.

I believe in you OP

>>53391702
I'm guessing the best way to make it in dry cleaning is by focusing on wedding dresses. That way you can charge massive markups for a premium product. My wife spent something like $600 getting her wedding dress cleaned, and then more on top of that for them to fold it up and put it in a box. I wish I was joking.
But the downside is that it's all hand drycleaning, meaning you (or more realistically your wagie Jeet employees) will have to physically handle the toxic chemicals.

I am going to ask a dry cleaner about dry cleaning today. I'm not in my home town and I think talking with someone who is in this industry can inform me. I don't want anyone to think I'm joking when I tell them that I want to be a dry cleaner

>>53392079
What this anon said >>53392104
And if they say they really need someone that doesn't need training then ask them if they know any other dry cleaners in the area that might take you under their wing. Good luck anon, you're alright.

all you get is a cancer at 40

>>53396306
Autists don't live up to 40

I talked with a manager of a dry cleaner today and expressed my interest in dry cleaning. He said that he was working as one for 35 years and loved the job but tried to discourage me by explaining how toxic the solvents were ("they can destroy your body" etc.) It didn't work on me, I said that I liked chemicals despite their toxicity. He was amazed at my interest. He then brought a special stain remover solvent to demonstrate how irritating the solvents were. He handed me a stain remover solvent that was supposed to "change my mind". It smelled mild and sweet while he almost choked. He said that I was "too young" to be a dry cleaner
In conclusion, I'm not discouraged. I still want to be a dry cleaner.

>>53391702
Can perchloroethylene cure autism? Is perc the secret holy remedy for autism?

>>53397099
To young? When the fuck are you supposed to learn. That’s BS. A dry cleaner by me has her pet sperms who are definitely teenagers working for them. Try to find another place. Learn what can and open your own spot. That fuck will never find an employee. Anon you did nothing wrong. People would die for someone like you as an employee. Fuck that guy

>>53392399
Sounds like they want some Asian who speaks their language and grew up dry cleaning. Just be persistent, after a few years there you could start your own business.

>>53397238
I have seen literal children work with chemicals that can melt your lungs and machines that can flat you. Dry cleaning is nothing compared to real dangers.

my gfs mom was a dry cleaner for years, then she got ALS and slowly died. The chemicals they use to dry clean are fucking terrible for you

>>53397458
I knew a teacher and he hanged himself later.

>>53397099
>I said that I liked chemicals despite their toxicity

>>53397099
OP you are a fucking legend. This is what I come to /biz/ for. I can't even imagine what his face looks like as you steamroll through all his normie conventional wisdom with you sheer autism-fueled willpower.

this is 4chan autism at its finest

>>53397812
I want to be Perchloroethylene's most autistic dry cleaner. I am not afraid of chlorinated solvents, I want to be a dry cleaner and i am willing to work with solvents like perchloroethylene.

>>53398317
You're an attention whore tranny for fuck sake you got your thread and have bumped it for over 24 hours now fuck off.

>>53398327
I am not a tranny, just an autist.

>>53398407
You're an attention seeking tranny faggot, you should drink your chemicals asap and never ever post on this board again, you aren't an autist you're a narcissistic transexual faggot.

>>53398425
Holy shit retard calm down

>>53398513
Fuck off samefaggot we all know what's on here, just because you suckered a few thirdies into your thread doesn't mean us true autists don't see through this horse shit.

>>53398425
Stop shitting up the Dry Cleaning General, you fucking sperg. I look forward to this general all week.

>>53398573

>>53398407
Oh so you three happen to stay up for 16 hours posting in a thread I've never seen posted or discussed in the four years I've spent here?!?

I guess you three all were just waiting for me to arrive eh?

Good thing I didn't respond earlier you "three" might have been dying of anticipation....

>>53398618
Were you assraped by a tranny faggot dry cleaner as a child?

>>53398425
OP is literally the densha otoko of dry cleaning. Keep seething attention fag, accept that you'll never attract so much attention and genuine interest and replies from anons with your low quality frogposting and LINK fudding

>>53391702

Explain your dream to the dry cleaning company and tell them you work for free for 4 weeks. Just for one day a week if you can afford.

>>53393230
ofc its strange - many are force to this job because they don't have any options.

>>53397813
top kek

>>53399227
I tried to explain my interest in dry cleaning but the manager of a dry cleaner tried to discourage me by explaining the harms of the solvents so hard today. I'm not discouraged. He exaggerated the toxicity of perc.

>>53391761
>perchloroethylene
what the hell is this? do all dry cleaners use this?
I really thought they washed the clothes..

>>53397865
was this ever published in full?

>>53401312
Most dry cleaners use a heavy, colourless and sweet smelling liquid named perchloroethylene (perc for short) for dry cleaning. Dry cleaning does not use water, if it did, it would not be dry cleaning. "dry" means no water involved.

>>53401405
it's toxic isn't it, holy shit

>Samefagging

I hate this board beyond a reasonable way to express the way I hate it.
