OSHA compliant cleaning/disinfecting bleach
Question: We operate a health club and our laundry chemical vendor has advised that we must increase the temperature of our washing machines to greater than 160 degrees F to allow their bleach to activate properly. Our washing machine vendor does not recommend operating the machines at a water temperature above 160 degrees F. Is there a bleach that will provide OSHA compliant cleaning/disinfecting at a temp of 120-130 degrees F?

Laundering Gasoline Soaked Items
Question: I spilled gasoline on a jacket, denim skirt and shoes. There is no visible stain, but I made the mistake of laundering the skirt with other darks, and now there is more gasoline odor. The jacket is airing out in the garage, but it's not improving much. Is there a danger in laundering gasoline soaked items? What can you suggest?

Getting Kitchen Towels Clean
Question: I run a small commercial laundry and we do various types of laundry - restaurant napery, towels, motel sheets, etc. We are having a problem getting our kitchen towels clean. Would boiling them be option, or is there anything else you would suggest?
