This promotional article, unreferenced since 2008 was written by a SPA to promote the International Dry Cleaning & Laundry Institute. A Google search turns up many ads, but no authoritative sources, particularly for specific assertions about insurance payments, and the like. Rhadow (talk) 10:56, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Textile conservator - this article is a waffle-filled piece of no merit (see WP:NOTESSAY, whilst the target article is much directly relevant. Nick Moyes (talk) 00:05, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I'd be happy with that redirect, because of the relative article qualities. Andy Dingley (talk) 00:32, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Could you clarify which !vote you'd be happy with, Andy? I guess you meant my redirect suggestion, but the lack of indent possibly made it a little unclear for the closing admin. Thanks Nick Moyes (talk) 02:29, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Textile conservator, of course. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:57, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
