Indus\u00adtrial laun\u00addries are hot, dusty and humid. Laundry is sorted, cleaned, ironed, starched, folded and loaded. At Rentex, that\u2019s around 500 metric tons per week, mainly for hospi\u00adtals and care facil\u00adi\u00adties. A lot of textile dust gets into the air, espe\u00adcially at work\u00adsta\u00adtions where employees pre-sort towels, bed sheets and clothing. This is compounded by high temper\u00ada\u00adtures in the processing hall during the summer: \u201cWe\u2019ve had temper\u00ada\u00adtures of up to 40 degrees in there on occa\u00adsion,\u201d says Titus Mulder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
