on April 29, 2025 at 11:10 amKevin, Wow! We are reworking this part of the website so this got quarantined.
Give me a jingle and I can walk your through what we call “wholesale cost to process one load of laundry.” Then we try to have a 25-30% markup from that.

on September 25, 2024 at 1:18 pmThe pretreatment is often the “slow part” – the trick to increase speed…once you have a feel for the soaps and how to make your own pre-measured mixes you can leave some stains for the washer…just like you do with whites. Sport Wash can take out a lot of normal body soil/dirt eliminating the need to pretreat every shirt.

on September 12, 2024 at 1:44 pmWell, your question got stuck into an “approval system” that I never knew existed. Darn it.
Here’s what we know from our time studies – it takes 1/3 less time to process our way using the same amount of laundry as compared to traditional “normal” methods.
With practice it goes even faster.
The uniformity between employees or launderers is huge deal as well.
We stear away from “pound per hour” to “time to completion.”
I feel so bad you did not get an answer- argh. Colleen

on May 18, 2023 at 9:12 amSmoke is surprisingly “greasy.” If a film remains in your washer drum – after you are finished run a quick wash with Pine-Sol or similar. That will cut that greasy film that sticks to washer drums, outfall pipes and drain troughs.

That is a first! It is amazing what you can launder given the correct soap, cycle and time.
Nicely done!

on March 29, 2023 at 9:20 amThere is a product called D-Solve It (bulk, on Norton Supply, right around $35 for 20#) – we use it on refinery coveralls and agricultural laundry. Single Use it is called disol-vol. Use this with a sport detergent to get out the odor. Tada!

We just discovered our Nellies is available on Costco.com / and in some Costco Stores! Not ours, but worth checking your local Costco. We buy it bulk in 5 gallon buckets.

on March 27, 2023 at 10:50 amYes, directly from Brio Laundry. Email travis@briolaundry.com your request, in one phone call he will take payment over the phone ($10 plus tax) and then he will mail it out.
One benefit of our stain stick – no need to rinse out once applied. No rings!

on March 27, 2023 at 10:48 amIt is a possibility, however I think the culprit was the Nellies stain bar. Once applied, rinse out from the back side of the fabric; then launder. Roux Maison Sport has enzymes – so works on oils and grease. Also, a drop of Dawn Dish Soap (tiny amount!) on oils before washing, rinse out from the back of fabric, launder – also a good option.

on March 21, 2023 at 12:37 pmWe use Revivex Down Cleaner; Nikwax also makes a nice product. Follow the recommendations in our course for laundering.
A trick to remove the brown oils from chins and arms on top edge is to spray with 10% vinegar spray, then sprinkle with baking soda. Rub around and let sit for 10-20 minutes before laundering.
Another trick to make sure the feather comforter is completely dry: lay on a table for a few minutes and then slip your hand under and feel the table. If there is moisture on the table it needs more dry time.
Sometimes we slip under a kleenex – if you pull that out and it is moist, means more dry time.

on March 13, 2023 at 9:13 amThanks Sunny! Great job!
Looks like you will have to dial the size back. I will ask developers why such small file size.
I am trying to upload the image of the stain remover you used, Carbona Stain Remover for Blood.
