Hello,

I was curious if anyone on the listserv has experience working with a vendor to launder lab coats in an undergraduate lab setting. We are planning to do bulk laundering every semester given the ratio of students:lab coats but I wanted to hear if anyone has experience with this process and would be willing to share. Specifically, how did logistics work and what was the best approach? How did you handle requests for laundering and returns? We aren’t planning on implementing an RFID system with lab coats but rather going simple with industrial washers. We’ve historically relied on spreadsheets and FormStacks to track data. Thank you in advance. 

Best,
