Hi Gohmgeong,</p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
</p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
When I was at U-O, I started with CINTAS and then the team switched to another vendor after I left. The issue will be size appropriately and make sure the count is efficient enough. I know they usually charge for damaged/severely stained gowns so that’s something
you have to monitor.</p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">

<p style="direction: ltr; margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
Good luck!</p>
