From bradshaw at utdallas.edu Wed Nov 25 15:00:20 2009 From: bradshaw at utdallas.edu (Keith Bradshaw) Date: Wed, 25 Nov 2009 14:00:20 -0600 Subject: [labnetwork] Clean Room Garment Services Message-ID: <57B3AC8F20A24F21BC592F9BE5A9F3CC@campus.ad.utdallas.edu> We have been using G&K for our clean room garment service for five years. They were recently take over, and so we are taking a fresh look at how we handle laundry. How have other labs handled laundry? What services have you used? Is it worthwhile doing it yourself? We have 80 smocks and shoe pairs per week .

We have RO water (about 1M-ohm) connected to a commercial washer and a commercial dryer with a HEPA filter on the inlet. We hire Undergraduates for the labor. It works out well, except for the periods when the undergrad's are either gone (Xmas, January break, Spring Break) or during test weeks. Then it falls on the staff to pick up the slack. This has proven to a burden to the staff during those times.
