Just kind of curious but this thread got me thinking of some work
students of mine did a few semesters ago. A couple of people mentioned
buying used washing machines to wash rags and such but would any/many of
you be interested in a washing machine specifically designed for washing
extremely dirty/oily rags and clothes in a shop environment? Of course
price is always an issue but aside from that what do you think? It would
be smaller and more mobile (on wheels) than a regular washing machine
and could connect to any standard hose outlet for water. It might take
longer to do a load but it could also possibly dry the rags/clothes as
well if desired.
I thought it was a particularly good idea the way the students worked it
out but I'm not certain if the sponsor of the project has moved forward
with it, though I don't think so.
Just wondering what sort of response all of you would give it. If any
one is interested I can give more details as well, even though it was
all hypothetical.
