Congratulations Mark I'm very happy for you, but bits must mean something different over there than here. Can you tell us a little about the equipment? | ||

Mark,
As i said to you the other day, you have a dream job for many of us!!!! I used to love helping out in that laundry of various nursing homes I have worked in over the years although the 1st nursing home I worked in the laundry lady did a pretty shoddy job. We had Miele commercial machines from the 80's and she used to was EVERYTHING on number 4 ( synthetics 50 deg ) and ruined quite a lot of personal clothing! She even washed towels and so called "bum cloths" on this setting until I pointed out to the manager this was HUGELY unsanitary and ran an enormous risk of cross infection. As a result she had to wash all towels, face cloths and the offending bum cloths at 95 deg. Now, of course, such cloths do not exist as disposable wipes are used. I used to love being on night shift and spending time in the laundry at quiet times. After my nocturnal laundry shifts the staff used to remark how much cleaner and fresher the laundry was!
Anyway, congratulations again Mark. Look forward to hearing about the equipment you will be using. Am so pleased that life is good for you but on a selfish note I do miss our mini wash-in's and your 1509!!! xxx | ||

Haha
How many of us work in the care industry? lol I also work as a carer for people with disabilities in a residential home of 5 people. We have a Simpson 9.5KG top loader that is a WaterAid machine made by Electrolux. The idea is to put a small amount of holes in the drum so that the machine holds the most of the water in the drum. Any water that trickles through into the outer tub is caught by a recirculation pump and sprayed back into the main tub. Cool idea and washes well, it just takes a long time to drain the tub as its all got to trickle out of the main tub lol. I'll find some pics of it... We also had the matching dryer for a long time (5kg) version but that packed up and we have recently got a Haier 6kg vented dryer, great little dryer :-) Matt

I'm surprised they wouldn't use commercial machines for this kind of work. | ||
