Dear clients,
TOGETHER, WE ARE FACING A TRULY UNPRECEDENTED SITUATION. TOGETHER WE CAN HELP STOP THE SPREAD, PLEASE FOLLOW THE BELOW GUIDELINES WHILST USING OUR LAUNDROMAT.
THE GLOBAL CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC HAS AFFECTED VARIOUS ASPECTS OF DAILY LIFE. DUE TO THE NATURE OF THIS UNIQUE CRISIS, WASHING AND DISINFECTING HOUSEHOLD ITEMS, INCLUDING CLOTHING, ARE CRITICAL AT STOPPING THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS. FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO LAUNDRY MACHINES AND DRYERS IN THEIR HOMES OR APARTMENTS, LAUNDROMATS ARE THEIR ONLY RESORT. IN LIGHT OF IT ALL, VENDED LAUNDRIES CONTINUE TO OPEN THEIR DOORS TO PROVIDE THE VALUABLE SERVICE THAT OUR COMMUNITIES NEED.
• Keep a distance of 2 metres minimum from others
• Wash hands often or use sanitizer as a precaution after touching equipment, doors, etc.
• Cough or sneeze into your elbow
• Try to refrain from touching your face.
• Heat and hot water are your friends. Where possible, wash loads with hot water and use dryers (allow the dryer to complete its cycle)
• Avoid shaking dirty laundry (it can spread germs)
• Clean hampers, baskets, bags, carts…anything coming in contact with dirty linens
• Wash hand towels and wash rags often
• Do laundry…the more urgency and emphasis we put on keeping things clean the better.
We all have a role to play in this crisis. As we know, our vended laundries are more than laundry centers; they are often community gathering areas. As such, we can leverage that role by communicating information in a timely manner to help keep each other safe.
