Re: <ALL> cleaning rags

[Joel Marion <zeitguy@xxxxxxxx>]

Jack,

My wife prohibited me from using the washer, so I tried to take them to
the laundromat. The laundromat guy stopped me while I was puttiing the
rags into a machine and sent me packing. Since then, I've been buying
the 75 pack of shop rags for $12 at CostCo, and just throwing them away.
I don't feel great about it, but I don't see another solution. Perhaps I
can throw the old rags in the recycling (the county collects all our
recycling mixed in a large garbage can, and sorts it themselves), and
hope for the best. If you find a better solution, let me know.
