Abstract: A restaurant cleaning mop includes a color label on the surface of the mop handle to identify the area of the restaurant in which the cleaning mop is to be utilized. The mop handle is detachable from a mop head and the handle bears the indicia. Moreover, since the indicia is provided on the detachable handle, the non-differentiated mop head can be easily replaced as needed and the mop handle remains in the designated area while the mop head is replaced. In another aspect, this invention is directed to an inventory management scheme in which a first detachable part of a cleaning tool, such as a mop handle, bears coded indicia to indicate a particular zone or area of a facility in which the tool is to be used.

Abstract: A method of processing at least one garment involves a local environment with ambient moisture, a garment having a moisture content, a plurality of work stations, and a threshold amount of moisture. The plurality of work stations operate according to a plurality of parameters. The threshold amount of moisture is the amount of ambient moisture naturally absorbed by the garment. The method includes a processing step, a measuring step, a determining step and an adjusting step. The garment is processed through at least one of the work stations during the processing step. During the measuring step, the moisture content of the garment is measured. The relationship between the measured moisture content and the threshold amount of moisture is determined during the determining step. And, at least one parameter is adjusted based on the relationship between the measured moisture content and the threshold amount of moisture during the adjusting step.
