Current Economy Produces Less Laundry

Americans have cut back on laundry, at least for now, during the current economic conditions.Sixty percent of the people surveyed by Information Resources Inc., a Chicago market research firm, said they are wearing garments more often without washing them. Almost half, 48 percent, said they are taking items to the dry cleaner’s less frequently, and a
whopping 80 percent said they are only using the washing machine when they have a full load.

Laundromat owners are seeing customers nearly overloading machines to save the expense of a second load.
