Why Wash Before You Wear?

There are a couple of reasons to wash new clothes once before you wear them for the first time. One is to remove or diminish the chemical finishes that manufacturers put on clothes to make them look better, and the other is to rinse out excess dye.

Finishes won't bother everyone who puts on a new pair of pants, but there are some people with sensitive skin who could develop a rash. Babies' clothes should always be washed before they are worn because babies can be particularly sensitive to chemicals. New clothes that have been washed once will be softer and that makes them more comfortable to wear.

One common question that many people have at this point is, "Wouldn't it be better if the clothing makers didn't put any extra chemicals on new clothing?" One common reason to apply chemicals is mildew. Clothes that are made of natural fibers, such as cotton and linen, can mildew if they are exposed to moisture. Manufacturers use formaldehyde to treat clothes that have to be shipped a long way, say, from Asia to the United States, to prevent mildew.

Formaldehyde has a very sharp odor, and sometimes new clothes that carry formaldehyde-based resins will give off a pungent smell until they are washed. Formaldehyde is also blamed for allergic reactions in sensitive people. If you are a person who suffers from allergies, it is a good idea to wash your new clothes once before wearing them. You won't wash the finishes out completely, but you will reduce them somewhat.

Another tag that appears on clothing suggests that you "wash separately before wearing." The clothes that carry this tag often have dark or bright dyes that could run off on other clothes or even on your skin. Washing these items once before you wear them will get rid of the excess dye.

What is in moth balls? Is it harmful to people?

Clothes moths can be a real problem in clothes made from natural fibers (especially wool). There are two different types of moth balls used to combat the moths. In one type, the main ingredient is naphthalene, and in the other it is paradichlorobenzene.

The idea with both chemicals is to kill moths and moth larvae with the fumes. Both naphthalene and paradichlorobenzene sublimate, meaning they transition from a solid straight to a gas. The gas is toxic to the moths.

For either of these chemicals to be effective, they need to be placed with the clothing in a sealed container so the fumes can build up and kill the moths. In a sealed atmosphere like this, the fumes are not harmful to people because they are contained. The main threat would occur when opening the containers, or from wearing clothes immediately after opening (especially a problem for infants). A solution is to open the containers outside and let the clothes hang and air out for a day before wearing.

We all seem to have an aunt whose entire house smells like moth balls, and we have all walked in to public restrooms where the smell of paradichlorobenzene is nearly overpowering. Are these fumes healthy? The answer is "probably not." If you read the chemical descriptions in the links, you will find that neither of these chemicals is particularly good for people to breathe on a regular basis. Airing out clothes is a way to limit exposure.

A less toxic alternative is cedar blocks, shavings or oil. The blocks are expensive, but cedar shavings in the form of hamster bedding can be very inexpensive. Again, the container needs to be closed in order for the cedar scent to have a real effect on moths.

Why do most zippers say "YKK" on the pull-tab?

YKK is a huge company that makes zippers!

Here is a bit of zipper history. The "clasp locker" as it was called, was invented in 1891 by Whitcomb L. Judson. The clasp locker was an assemblage of hooks and eyes that Judson thought would save people time and sore backs fastening their shoes with one hand. Later, in 1913, Gideon Sundback of Sweden developed the predecessor of today's zipper that used metal teeth, and patented it in 1917. Sundback's design was the first design that saw practical use. Sundback's "separable fastener" had more fasteners per inch than the earlier clasp locker. Later, the B.F. Goodrich Co. used the separable fastener in some rubber boots and came up with the name "zipper" because the boots could be fastened with one hand. Today, zippers are also made of plastic as well.

Founded in Japan in 1934, YKK was called Yoshida Kogyo Kabushikikaisha, but 60 years later the company changed its company name to match its brand name. The privately held YKK Co. is headquartered in Japan and is made up of 80 companies at 206 facilities in 52 countries. YKK makes the entire zipper including the dyed cloth and the brass used to make the zipper.

A YKK factory site in Macon, Ga., produces 7 million zippers a day, in a total of 1,500 styles in more than 427 standard colors. It's the largest zipper factory in the world. The Macon site produces its own brass to make the teeth and slider parts of a zipper. The same factory also produces and dyes the yarn that is woven into the fabric portion of a zipper. And YKK also produces the machines that make the zippers! YKK has leveraged its knowledge of working with metals to form an aluminum building products division that now accounts for two-thirds of YKK's worldwide sales.

Can a Laundry Detergent Addictive Clean the City Air?

A leading fashion designer turned environmental scientist wants to clean up city pollution using no more than the clothing on your back. This may sound improbable but award-winning designer Prof Helen Storey is already at the point of transferring an advanced technology she calls “catalytic clothing” into widespread use.

“Catalytic clothing has the ability to purify the air around you using a product that you add to your laundry,” Prof Storey said. She was speaking ahead of her participation tomorrow in a Science Week event at the National College of Art and Design.

Working with Prof Tony Ryan at Sheffield University and others, her team has come up with a method for applying a titanium oxide-based catalyst to clothing.

The catalyst adheres to fabrics and in the presence of ultraviolet sun radiation and oxygen the catalyst is able to capture and break down pollutants. This includes nitric oxides and volatile organic compounds from city traffic.

Modelling has shown that if many people use the product their clothing can have an impact on reducing these pollutants.

For this reason she does not want to protect it for financial gain given it is an “altruistic technology”. She wants all laundry detergent manufacturers to take the technology on board.

Prof Storey is currently a professor of fashion and science at the London College of Fashion.

New App Streamlines Laundry Process

LaundryView, an online application that allows users to see which washer and dryer machines are currently in use on campus, went live for all machines Tuesday, November 13.

The program features three-dimensional digital renderings of each laundry room — red, vibrating machines are in use, while white machines are unoccupied. The program also indicates how much time is remaining on each load of laundry.

The site offers an option to receive a text message or email when a load of laundry is finished.

Brown has joined peer institutions such as Harvard, Tufts University, Columbia, Cornell and Wesleyan University in bringing LaundryView to campus.

The site received 1,333 hits between when Morning Mail announced the launch at 1 a.m. and 8 a.m. Tuesday morning, said Richard Bova, senior associate dean of residential and dining services.
Bringing LaundryView to Brown has been under discussion since the previous Undergraduate Council of Students’ administration, Bova said.

The launch of LaundryView was a “natural kind of outcrop” of the Bear Bucks system, said Abby Braiman ’15, chair of the UCS Admissions and Student Services committee.

The University’s laundry contract expired over the summer, so it was renegotiated and completely digitized to coincide with the Bear Bucks upgrades, Braiman said. It was not viable to launch LaundryView under the old machine infrastructure, she added.

But between the new digital controller mechanism for Bear Bucks and the new laundry contract with the commercial laundry service Mac-Gray, which provides Ethernet connections, LaundryView was a natural development, Bova said. There was no extra cost associated with the program.

Braiman said she had hoped for the launch to occur just after Thanksgiving, but the transition went so smoothly that LaundryView went online early.

So far, there have not been any reported glitches in the system, Bova said.

“Students are finding it much more convenient,” Bova said of the move toward a more digitized system.

Yongha Kim ’15 said he did laundry just after he found out about the website. As a top floor resident of Vartan Gregorian Quad B, it can be a hassle to take laundry downstairs only to find all the machines occupied, he said.

He described it as a “necessity” because Brown does not have many laundry machines to begin with. Additionally, many residential halls are not equipped with elevators, Kim said, increasing the inconvenience of walking down a flight of stairs to do laundry without being certain of machine availability.

“I think they should have had it before,” he said.

Kim said he appreciated that the program shows exactly how much time remains on a load, unlike similar programs he had heard of at other schools.

Simone Kurial ’15 said she first heard about LaundryView “via an ecstatic Facebook message.” She was particularly impressed by the 3-D rendering — “I almost felt like I was in the room,” she said.
“This weekend, I have big plans for the laundry room,” Kurial said.

Jailed and Jailers Pitched In Help After Storm

There are plenty of unsung heroes in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, but the story of how those at New York’s least desirable address lent their muscle and might is perhaps among the most compelling.

Inmates at Riker's Island load clothes and linens into a giant industrial washing and drying machine.

On the night that the storm roared into the city, Dora B. Schriro, the correction commissioner, slept on a couch in her office at the Rikers Island jail, bracing for flooding and reassuring inmates and employees that the island would weather the storm.

The next morning, the vast jailhouse complex was mostly unscathed, but Ms. Schriro was stunned by the devastation the storm had wrought elsewhere.

So she decided to put her jail, and those who call it home, to work. Inmates did 6,600 pounds of laundry for people in emergency shelters. The jail supplied generators and gas to fuel them to neighborhoods in the dark, and donated long underwear usually given to inmates. And officers with medical training provided emergency care to victims.

“There was a lot of loss,” said Ms. Schriro, who personally pitched in at food lines on the Rockaway Peninsula, in Queens. “It was our responsibility and opportunity to jump in and help.”
Ms. Schriro, a Staten Island native who lives on City Island in the Bronx, and her deputies started strategizing how they would tap Rikers’s enormous resources even as the storm was still raging. Ms. Schriro had already reminded the Bloomberg administration of all that Rikers had to offer should the storm prove to be as catastrophic as predicted.

But Ms. Schriro felt a greater sense of urgency after seeing firsthand what the storm had done to the Rockaways, a place that is home to some of the jail’s inmates as well as to some of the guards who watch over them. She mobilized a group of correction officers to deliver truckloads of canned and dried goods from the island’s food supply and to use emergency relief supplies from the jail’s warehouses, including bottled water and blankets. The agency also delivered clothing to relief centers in the city, including jackets kept for inmates.

Officers took generators and backup lights from various jails to Breezy Point, Queens, and other locations. Correction Department buses and vans transported evacuees on Staten Island and shuttled recovery workers in Brooklyn.

Capt. Richard Polak, who helps oversee the laundry at Rikers, accompanied other correction officers to pick up sheets, blankets, towels and clothes from a dozen shelters in storm-struck parts of the city. The items were returned laundered within hours. It was the first time Rikers’s laundry was used to help in a citywide emergency, the correction agency said.

The laundry, on the north side of Rikers, serves the island and most of the city’s other jails. It already handles enormous loads and, in what turned out to be a stroke of good timing, a huge new washing machine was installed there in July. The machine, a long tube that looks like a rocket lying on its side, can do 2,000 pounds of wash every 90 minutes. The jail’s inmates were able to add extra loads from the shelters during their shifts, for which they are paid 39 cents per hour.
“With this thing, we can tackle anything,” Darrell Jennings, the superintendent of laundries at Rikers, said recently as he watched inmates load sheets and pillowcases into the machine, as well as thin wool blankets and inmate jumpsuits.

Of the city’s institutions, Rikers — which houses 11,000 inmates and has 8,500 employees — was uniquely equipped to play its unheralded role in the recovery effort. It is more than a jail complex. It is a minicity that is often referred to as New York’s sixth borough. Spread out over 400 acres, the jail has its own schools, infirmary, power plant, auto shop (with carwash), chapels, commissary stores, barbershops, bakery, tailor, print shop, and athletic fields and gyms.
The jail continues to contribute in ways small and large. On Wednesday, a shipment of food and clothing was made to a women’s shelter in the Bronx where more than 100 storm evacuees are living. And on Thursday, an association of black correction workers is delivering Thanksgiving dinner to a public-housing project in Far Rockaway.

Other correction officers have also played key roles. Some have provided security for relief centers. Others have helped unload incoming supplies at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn for distribution. Some have helped to staff a medical triage center at a church in the Rockaways, while others have protected a senior residence on the peninsula whose lobby was opened as a warming center.
The jail laundry may still be used to do some shelter laundry, but it has largely returned to its normal routine of handling the department’s wash, as well as linens for the Homeless Services Department and uniforms for the Parks and Recreation Department. Jail officials did not make inmates available for interviews about the role they played in helping storm victims, but Ms. Schriro said, “I’m confident they knew what they were doing.”

While she was in the Rockaways, arranging the services that Rikers provided, Ms. Schriro heard the stories of storm victims whose lives had been upended. One of those was Tommy Corbett, a Rikers Island guard who, after the storm, divided his time among trying to fix his badly damaged house, getting his children assigned to schools that were not closed by the storm and helping other neighbors.

“His house and life was eviscerated but he was smiling and cheerful and trying to find a decent pair of boots so he could come back to work,” she said. “He was a symbol of the kind of professionals we have here.”

How to Maintain Your Huebsch Machines

Are you looking for information on how to maintain your Huebsch washers and dryers? If you are, look no further!  We have all the info you’ll need to keep them running like new.

For Frontload Washers:

• Leave the loading door open during extended periods of non-use to allow the wash drum to dry out and avoid a musty smell.
• Check the filter screens in the fill hoses for debris or damage annually. Clean or replace them if necessary.
• Check all hoses on a monthly basis for any visible signs of deterioration such as cracks, blisters or material wear. Replace immediately any hoses showing these signs.

Hang-drying laundry inside your home may trigger allergies

For people who suffer from asthma, hay fever, and allergies, hang-drying laundry indoors may put your health at risk, according to a new study.

Researchers from the Mackintosh Environmental Architecture Research Unit in Glasgow, Scotland, reported last week that drying your laundry indoors causes enough moisture in the air to contribute to the development of mold and dust mites. The small study, which examined 100 homes, found that the air in many homes was too moist, with up to a third of that caused by drying clothes indoors due to cold weather. Hanging laundry around the house to dry can emit two liters of water into the air from just one load, head researcher Rosalie Menon said.

CDC Says, Laundry Detergent Pods an ‘Emerging Public Health Hazard’ Among Kids

Watch More News Videos at ABC | 2012 Presidential Election | Entertainment & Celebrity News

There’s a new warning for parents who use laundry pods about how kids are mistaking them for bright, colorful candy and eating them.

There were 1,008 cases of detergent poisoning among kids during a 30-day period this summer, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report released Thursday. Of those reported cases, 486 were linked to pods. Poison centers across the country were seeing an average of 10 cases a day, the CDC reported in May.

Ninety-four percent of poisonings from laundry detergent are among kids younger than 6, according to the CDC report, and in these children, those who consumed pods were usually sicker than those who ingested other forms of laundry detergent.

The CDC says that exposure to the detergent pods is “an emerging public health hazard in the United States.”

Parents are learning just how dangerous the bite-sized, single-dose of laundry detergent pods really can be. The concentrated packet of detergent sent 1-year-old Isabella Sutton to the hospital after she ate one.

“I just figured they got into candy, and they were eating candy,” Jessica Sutton, Isabella’s mom, told ABC News earlier this year.

Minutes later, Isabella had severe vomiting and diarrhea before being rushed to the emergency room. Similar reactions have been reported across the country with many children also experiencing drowsiness, nausea and potentially life-threatening symptoms such as difficulty breathing.
“You don’t think about safety-proofing laundry detergent,” Sutton said.

The makers of Tide detergent – Proctor & Gamble – told ABC News in May they planned to unveil new childproof packaging by the summer. The new packaging features a double-latch lid and a larger warning label on the container that some critics say looks like a candy jar.

Proctor & Gamble has distributed the new containers but never recalled the old ones. ABC News visited four stores this week and found the old easy-to-open plastic containers on shelves.
Proctor & Gamble told ABC News that it is adding an over-the-lid resealable sticker that will “gradually be available as of December in stores.”

Consumers who would like to use the resealable sticker earlier can do so by calling 1-877-751-7227, beginning Nov. 1.

Henkel — the maker of Purex Ultra Packs — told ABC News that, since May, is has “updated the packaging with clearer labels to warn parents about the risks and to provide more specific instructions in the event of ingestion.”

Other detergent manufacturers who previously told ABC News in May that they were reviewing the safety packaging did not respond to requests for an update.

Until changes are made, poison control experts say, the onus falls on the parents to keep the detergent packets locked up and out of the reach of children.

Three of Four Regions See Higher Coin Laundry Sales in September, Third Quarter

CHICAGO – Three of the four regions posted significant sales increases in September and in the third quarter, according to the results of the latest AmericanCoinOp.com StatShot survey.
Self-service laundry operators in the West reported September sales were up 10.0% compared to September 2011, and that their third-quarter sales were up 7.0% compared to the same period in 2011.

In the Midwest, September sales were up 8.2% from the previous September and third-quarter sales for this year were up 8.8% compared to July-September 2011.
September sales in the Northeast were up 5.0% from September 2011, while third-quarter sales were up 8.6% when compared to the same period one year earlier.
The South was the only region to post declines, based on the unscientific StatShot results. September 2012 sales were down 1.7% from the previous September, while third-quarter sales dropped 1.2% when compared to July-September 2011.

“My small area is picking up as I continue to innovate and find new ways to attract new customers, as well as keeping my current customers excited about the store,” says an operator in the West. “Listen to the customers, as without them, we have a nice Laundromat that is not used to (the) fullest.”
An operator from the South reports that three more competing stores have opened within a three-mile radius of his/her store within the last year.

AmericanCoinOp.com’s StatShot includes information on sales, wages, costs and other financial data based on anonymous survey information provided by industry owners and operators.
Audience members are invited to participate in the unscientific surveys, which are conducted online via a partner website. All self-service laundry operators are encouraged to participate, as a greater number of responses will help to better define industry trends.

Interesting Survey: 71% of Coin Laundry Owners Favor Romney Over Obama for President

CHICAGO — If U.S. voters side with the majority of coin laundry owners who responded to October’s AmericanCoinOp.com Wire survey, Mitt Romney will be elected the 45th president of the United States next month.

Roughly 71% of coin laundry owners polled in the anonymous, unscientific survey say they are supporting the Republican ticket of Romney and running mate Paul Ryan. Roughly 21% are supporting Democratic incumbents Barack Obama and Joe Biden, and 7.1% are not sure at this time. No one who took the survey said they would not be voting for president, or that they are supporting a third-party or write-in candidate.

The state of the economy will be most influential in helping 42.9% of store owners decide how to cast their vote next month. (Respondents were asked to pick one issue from a list of 19, including “other.”) Next, in a tie for second at 17.9% each, are debt management and “other.” (Among respondents who picked “other,” most said more than one issue would influence their choice.) Equal shares of 7.1% see Social Security/Medicare or taxes as the key issue, while equal shares of 3.6% will be most influenced by homeland security or by a candidate’s experience.

No matter who is elected next month, they will have a lot of work to do. Regardless of who’s elected, what is the one issue that you think the administration must address immediately?
Among respondents, their answers most often related to the economy, government spending and job creation. Some examples:

• “People do not need our service when they do not have to go to work every day.”
• “Just like in business, you must have throughput to survive. Our government is killing—through taxes, regulations and simple lack of accountability—the production in our country.”
• “Our recent trend toward big…big…bigger government and the control the federal government wields in our personal and business lives.”
• “Until every average (not Mitt’s average) American has a job and has money to spend, the economy will not pick up. Why haven’t we had a WPA type of program where the government pays to rebuild our infrastructure and creates jobs, instead of giving the money to the banks who will not lend?”

While the Wire survey presents a snapshot of readers’ viewpoints at a particular moment, it should not be considered scientific.

Subscribers to Wire e-mails—distributed twice weekly—are invited to take the industry survey anonymously online each month. All self-service laundry owners and operators are encouraged to participate, as a greater number of responses will help to better define operator opinions and industry trends.
