Re: Very OT: furniture from Goodwill

Eh -- they're students. That kind of thing kind of goes along with the

territory. Hopefully they can do a couple things like unzip couch cushions and

inspect

,

The thirft stores spray the furniture, pillows, comforters, etc. before you buy

them but I am not sure what they spray for. You might want to ask. They should

have a tag (I think yellow) stating that the items is disinfected.

Hope this helps!

I used to shop Goodwill often. I never saw a tag that stated anything was

disinfected. (?) The color of the tag just meant what discount was on for that

week.

I used to be manager of a Goodwill Store. They don't spray or disinfect

anything. They just look the items over for damage and send it to the sales

floor.
