Abstract: A method and means for laundering contaminated clothing comprising a facility which is generally divided into a wash side and a dry side with several other rooms being associated therewith. The facility and the method described in association therewith permits contaminated clothing to be brought into the wash side of the facility, laundered and passed into the drying side of the facility. Once in the drying side of the facility, the clothes may be dried and then bagged for subsequent removal. The method prevents contaminants from being released into the atmosphere or carried from the interior of the facility by the person conducting the laundry operation.
