Washing Machines

[bigsmoke]

Hi All, Just a simple poll here as to what departments have machines available to wash your fatigues not bunker / turnout gear but station wear in the station or in your district etc.

And is that equipment provided by the employer or is it something the members have set up themselves

Thanks in advance for the replies

I'd answer but we are on the same department

We have washing machines in each station for fatigues and what not.

We also have a couple stations with the capability to wash bunker gear as well.

There's some discussion on our forum on this topic. I think it's a great idea to have them but the use of them .......

Are the washing machines provided by the employer?

Yeah I saw that.

Our station personally has washing machines, as well as the extractor.

It's pretty nice really.

does it need to be a very hot wash? and where do you put it in the machine? my machine could do with a good clean out...poss cos it only usually gets run at 40[sup]o[/sup]. tried using soda crystals on a hot wash the other day but didn;t really seem to work....eg the drawer etc still looks really scummy... ???
