 We use ALSCO for rag service. Laundry needs to be done at least once a month, or whenever the rags are all dirty. We have a private company which washes the rags. They will only except their own rags, which are green.
 ALSCO is located at 5225 SE 26th Ave, Portland, OR 97202. The phone number is (503) 233-5445. The cost per rag is $0.07. The usual amount to be cleaned is 100 rags, at $7.00 per load. You may take money from the cash box (if you are a key holder) to pay for the cleaning of rags.
