Career Path This job opportunity is designed to provide a path for continued growth as your skills and knowledge develop: Wedding Gown Cleaning Specialist Trainee → Wedding Gown Cleaning Specialist → Specialty Cleaning & Spotting Specialist Who We Are Looking For The ideal candidate is dependable, patient, observant, and extremely detail-oriented. You should be comfortable following precise instructions and understand that learning specialty garment care takes time and practice.

What matters most is a willingness to learn, good judgment, attention to detail, and genuine pride in doing exceptional work. This is a job opportunity to develop a skill that few people know how to do well. Experience Prior experience in garment care/cleaning is a plus but not required Familiarity with pressing machines, hand sewing tools, and press operation is helpful. Experience working with various fabric materials such as silk, lace, satin, chiffon, and tulle is advantageous.

Excellent customer service skills with a positive attitude are essential for success in this role. Schedule The anticipated schedule is Monday through Friday, approximately 2:00 PM to 8:00 or 9:00 PM. Hours will vary and might be less during training and could become fulltime once you can work independently. Hours will depend on the number of wedding gowns requiring cleaning and the availability of our Production Manager for hands-on training. This position is ideal for someone who has flexibility in the afternoon and evening and is interested in learning a specialized profession rather than simply finding another part-time job.
