I was so pleased to read Eric Frederick’s upbeat article, Who Says Laundry Work Can’t Be Fun? He is right; the “Blanket Blaster” is far more explicit than just “Blanket Folder model blah, blah, blah.” Others from that stable include Flipper, a small-piece stacker/folder, and Pik-Quik, a flatwork separating system.

“What criteria should I establish to rag out or discard linen? Also, do you recommend a multistep process to make this determination, or should one pass per item be enough to decide whether it stays or goes?”
Consulting: Tom Mara, Victor Kramer Co., Oceanport, N.J.
As a consultant to the healthcare and hospitality segments for more than 36 years, I can verify that, in fact, almost everyone has a different opinion as to rag-out standards. Unfortunately, in my experience, many of these so-called “standards” aren’t founded on the basis of justifiable economies.
