JUST LIKE
KEEPING RENTAL FABRICS CLEAN IS A TOP PRIORITY
FOR EVENT COMPANIES.
by Jeff Moravec
C
huck Shipp, owner of Shipp
Cleaning Systems and Clean
a Tent, based in Conyers,
Ga., knows a thing or two
about how to effectively
clean tents, linens and other event fabrics,
but he says that knowledge came
the hard way: " I've gotten it only through
42 years of making mistakes. "
That may be why a conversation with
Shipp sometimes feels like talking with
a chemist-his knowledge of the proper
formulas to use for a wide variety of
event fabric cleaning needs is extensive.
It's that chemistry that often makes the
difference between keeping a tent clean,
unstained and usable, or destined for the
scrap heap.
But Shipp is not the only expert in how
to keep tents and related products clean
and in service. We spoke to several companies
for this article, asking for tips on
how they clean and care for such items.
In some ways, event fabric cleaning
is not complicated. " My belief is if
you do the right maintenance and
you do it on a regular basis, you'll
have great looking fabrics, " says
Scott Massey, owner and president
of Awning Cleaning Industries in
New Haven, Conn. But especially as a
company grows, it looks for ways to
accomplish cleaning tasks with less
cost and less labor.
Marianne Iosso, vice president
of Iosso Products, which sells a
wide variety of cleaning products
from Elk Grove Village, Ill., agrees
with Massey's sentiment. And
she says that if anything good
came out of the pandemic, it was
that people started paying more
attention to the importance of
keeping things clean. " People
were cleaning like crazy, " she says.
" They were cleaning everything. "
