Dry Cleaning: Holding Pleats

This is a pants topper. This presses the seat of the pants. It also sets the pleats. With the use of the arms it could fold down. For an example, we've got a pair of pants here. You slide them on and you button them. So, you hold this. Press the release button. Make sure the pants are nice and tight on there. Make sure the pleats are nice and folded down. Bring these down. And that holds the pleats in place as the machine will steam through it to set the pleats and make it nice. And all you do is just push the automatic button and it blows steam through it, setting the pleat. And then once that's done it will blow air through the pants to dry the steam out. This process usually only takes about ten, fifteen seconds. So, you bring the arms up. Hold the seat back and now you have the top of your pants done. We'll hang them up and we will send them down through the assembly.
