Hands-on ultrasonic blind cleaning training at DirtyBlinds.com

Three days. One company at a time. Your hands, not ours.

Every blind type.Every step. Three days.

Three days in Buffalo, NY or the Charlotte, NC area, running the machine, mixing solution, drying a honeycomb, restringing a blind and taking apart a headrail, on our equipment, with somebody next to you who has done it ten thousand times. You practice on our blinds, so your first customer gets your best work.

Marc spent three months testing every blind material, one sample book at a time. Three days with us hands you what those months taught him.

Day one is the blinds. Day two is the business. Day three is the field.

We train one company at a time, on purpose. You are at the tank, doing it yourself, with somebody guiding you in real time.

Day one

Everything that happens between the window and the wrap.

  • Taking blinds down and getting them back up without damage
  • Identifying material before it goes near a tank
  • Running the machine, timing, and mixing solution correctly
  • Restringing, ladder work and headrail relubrication
  • Knowing which blinds to take in, and which to pass on

Day two

How the work turns into a business that pays you.

  • Setting up dry cleaners as drop-off centers for your operation
  • Working with janitorial companies as partners
  • What to charge, and how to price for the long run
  • Approaching commercial accounts and running the on-site demo
  • Laying out your shop or trailer for how you will actually work

Day three

Out of the classroom: the workshop and the field.

  • Cleaning different blind types in the workshop and on site
  • Quick-drying verticals, pleated and honeycomb shades in five minutes or less
  • Repairing mini blinds, pleated, honeycomb, verticals and woven woods
  • When and how to wrap blinds for delivery
  • Handling customer questions with confidence
Wayne Breissinger, certified trainer and Western New York operator

You are trained by people who still do the work.

Train in Buffalo and you train with Wayne Breissinger. He has been with us since 2006, runs the Western New York operation himself, and is a certified trainer.

Train in the Charlotte area and you train with Bobby Miller. He was our first employee, hired at sixteen, and has been cleaning blinds with us for about thirty-five years.

Both were cleaning blinds for paying customers last week and will be again next week. When you ask what to do about a difficult customer, or what a hospital job actually looks like, you get an answer from this year, not from a manual.

And Marc teaches the marketing day. He has been teaching this since 1992, and he still likes the part where somebody sees a blind come out of the tank for the first time.

A few things people ask before they book.

Where does it happen?

Your choice: Buffalo, NY or the Charlotte, NC area. Fly into either city and we will tell you exactly where to be and what time. Training in winter? Our Carolina winters are Buffalo summers. Plan on three full days.

Do I need to have my blind cleaner yet?

No. While your blind cleaner is being built, we give you access to our online training site, before you come in for hands-on training.

Can I train before I buy?

Yes. Book and pay for hands-on training first, and if you then purchase your blind cleaning equipment from us, we apply that cost toward your equipment.

Do I need the online course first?

You'll already have it. Working through it while your machine is being built means you arrive with questions instead of arriving blank. The two are built to go together.

Can I bring somebody?

Yes, and most people should. A spouse, a partner, the person who is going to be running the tank while you are out selling. Call and tell us who is coming.

Let's talk before you book. We'll plan your three days around your equipment and your schedule.
