Two area laundromats now
accommodate lung disease
Breathing just got easier for many area residents and visitors with lung disease. Mom's Laundromat in Minocqua has designated two dryers as “dryer sheet free.” The Northwoods Laundromat in Rhinelander has had cleaner dryers since last year.
Why the change? Dryer sheets are made of chemicals that can aggravate asthma. When they are used in a dryer, they leave a residue that coats the clothes of the next person to use the machine. Many individuals with asthma can't wear their own clothes after using a dryer that contains the chemicals.
Anyone who wants chemical-free laundry is welcome to use the machines. Natural fabrics such as cotton normally don't require sheets.
