saracatherine said:For the rags part, maybe you could tell your clients they need to provide their own rags or towels? I have a housecleaner come sometimes and have a bucket of rags and old hand towels for him. When he’s done, I wash and dry them and they’re ready for next time. I also provide all the cleaning supplies, mop, vacuum, etc....that was just the deal he stated from the outset. Maybe you could try that with new clients and see how it goes over, then you don’t have lug around all those supplies yourself.
Weight said:This is a crazed thread. It is a simple answer. If using cleaning supplies commercially, the "rags" can not be used at the next customer. They must first be cleaned. Laundromat washer and dryer clean. There are sanitary requirements.
Stretch said:Yeah, I’m completely grossed out by the thought of ‘rinsed’ rags being used in multiple clients’ homes. :-/
That thought went thru my mind a few times. But rags may get dirtier said:It would be an interesting experiment to try and rig something under the hood, above the engine where there's a LOT of extra heat and good air flow. The trick would be to keep them spread out, fixed in place, away from exhaust (fire hazard) and ideally not smelling like the engine bay. If you keep the area somewhat clean it should help with the latter. Beyond this out-of-the-box idea, I haven't thought much about implementation. Perhaps others might have some ideas to expand on this.
You're sweet. I did hang my swimsuit from the window one evening, then forgot and drove into McD and parked. This man said, "you have an article of clothing hanging from your car." And the thing still wasn't dry. Don't want to obstruct my vision as I change spots often.VanKitten said:In my misspent youth, I bummed across Europe.
The dryers were (and still are) so small and take way too much time.
The wet laundry was hung from the rear windows and dried while driving.
Perhaps you can rinse them really well at the clients house and do something the same? A clothes line across the back from each window...hang them with safety pins ??
It will look odd...but effective.
