We turn in for cleaning anywhere from 400-550 pieces of clothing every week for our fab, with the average load size being about 450 pieces. It's an added expense that we're adjusting on a quarterly basis to make sure we have the correct number of clothing pieces, for both size, and variation of articles. In addition, our vendor has modified our suits and smocks so that we can put name tags on the backs of them for better identification of individuals, which is a prerequisite for working after hours in our facility. That functionality is working out quite well here.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">At one time we used disposable materials, but that was getting expensive, and had its own management problems.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">I'm curious for those that do this laundry service themselves, just how many pieces they're washing on a weekly basis..... With our current laundry load, there is no way I'd want to try and do this on our own, even if the labor was free.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div>Dennis<span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"> Schweiger</span></div><div><span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Facility Manager</span></div><div><span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">University of Michigan/LNF</span></div><div> </div><div>734.647.2055 Ofc<br></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Nov 1, 2019 at 5:13 PM Aju Jugessur <<a href="mailto:Aju.Jugessur@colorado.edu">Aju.Jugessur@colorado.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
