[labnetwork] Clean Room Garment Services

[Daniel Christensen]

At Univ of WI-Madison, we launder the smocks ourselves.
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.

Good Luck,
Dan C
