Anyone who can endure the humidity and air bourn unknowns and chemicals

of a laundromat deserves a metal !!! I can remember only one such where

the

air was not so bad that I didn't have to leave...and after drying one

needs

time to fold etc...usually the odor/plumes is/are prevalent for a block

or more

away!!!

But ..there is hope...one owner did use a high pressure steam cleaner to

cleanse

his equipment and ducts every month. His place was well ventilated too!

So seek

out those who care enough to " care " !

Meanwhile add Borax to your wash.

You know, I have thought about this as well -- you're right, the

amount of air forced through from an uncontrolled environent would be

huge, and the clothes are the barrier. Perhaps the best policy is

air drying outside ( not too practical in the Rockies in winter,

though..)

The heat from a dryer is insignificant relative to what you need

to " Kill " (denature? sterilize? render unreproductive?) anyway.

Won't Stachy spores survive 500 degrees for over an hour? Geez,

paper burns at 451...

It is the toxins, however.

This is an article about Maytag washers and another brand that are moldy and

can't be fixed with the mold repair kits. It's everywhere, we are surrounded...
