At the University of Saint Joseph there is a 40 to 60 ratio between residents and commuters. The resident’s dorm provides communal washing machines and dryers. There are 6 washing machines in Madonna and 4 washing machines in Assumption. There are approximately 164 residents that share 6 washing machines in Madonna and 81 residents in Assumption that share 4 washing machines. (Residence Halls) Washing machines clean clothes, but what cleans the washing machines? If washing machines are not properly cleaned or not properly used can lead to different microbes to grow. (Carollo) In a study of 50 homes in Tucson and 50 homes in Tampa Bay Florida they found coliform bacteria, and E. Coli that caused diarrhea in many of the washing machines. (Rostein). From further investigation they discovered that 60% of the washing machine had coliform bacteria and 10% had E. Coli in it. (Rostein). “Researchers found that 40 percent of sterile cloths washed in non-bleach laundry contained fecal bacteria. In fact, there was enough left over to contaminate the next wash load” (Rostein) Bacteria such as Salmonella, and viruses including hepatitis A, rotavirus and adenovirus where also found in the washing machines. (Rostein) “While E. Coli was killed in the permanent press drying cycle, some salmonella survived on clothes at 131oF.”(Rostein) In this project, this group will be testing to see if the facilities and students are
