    Which of the following is the last step in the wash cycle of a load of laundry?

    • Extract

    • Break

    • Flush

    • Rinse

    Correct Answer
    A. Extract
    Explanation
    The last step in the wash cycle of a load of laundry is "Extract." Extract refers to the process of removing excess water from the clothes after they have been rinsed. This is typically done by spinning the drum of the washing machine at a high speed, causing the water to be forced out of the clothes and drained away. Extracting the water helps to shorten the drying time and leaves the clothes damp rather than soaking wet, making them easier to handle and dry efficiently.

    Explanation

    Ninety percent occupancy for the past three weeks has strained the capacity of the on-premises laundry at the Permanent Press Hotel. Guests waiting for clean rooms complain constantly to front desk employees. The front desk staff is frustrated with the slow pace at which the laundry processes guestrooms linen. The executive housekeeper and the staff laundry manager investigated and found that excessive wrinkling of linens led the staff to iron all sheets after the drying cycle. This was more than surprising because, just a few months ago, the hotel purchased and put into service a large quantity of no-iron linens. Attempting to quickly identify the cause of the wrinkling problem, the executive housekeeper gathered the laundry staff and asked three questions. Which of the following is not a question that would be asked to get to the bottom of the wrinkling problem?

    • Are sheets removed promptly from dryers and folded immediately?

    • Are washers and dryers overloaded with too many sheets any one time?

    • Are sheets dried for too long a time and at temperature thaty are too high?

    • Is oxygen bleach used in the wash cycle?

    Correct Answer
    A. Is oxygen bleach used in the wash cycle?
    Explanation
    The question "Is oxygen bleach used in the wash cycle?" is not relevant to identifying the cause of the wrinkling problem. The issue at hand is excessive wrinkling of linens, which is causing delays in processing guestroom linen. The other three questions directly address potential causes for the wrinkling problem, such as the prompt removal and folding of sheets, overloading of washers and dryers, and the duration and temperature of the drying cycle. The use of oxygen bleach in the wash cycle does not directly relate to the wrinkling issue and therefore would not help in finding the cause.

    It's best to let a dryer "rest" for an hour before putting in a new load.

    • True 

    • False 

    Correct Answer
    A. False 
    Explanation
    Running back-to-back dryer loads is smart and efficient. It lets you take advantage of retained heat from the previous cycle, cutting down on energy usage

    Poor soil removal is a problem at the Steadfast Hotel. The laundry crew wastes time and money rewashing several loads of wash a day. Which of the following would be the least likely cause of this problem?

    • Too litle detergent

    • Wash temperatures too low

    • Insufficient softners and sours

    • Overloading the washers

    Correct Answer
    A. Insufficient softners and sours
    Explanation
    Insufficient softeners and sours would be the least likely cause of the problem because these substances are typically used to improve the softness and scent of the laundry, rather than to enhance soil removal. Therefore, if there is a problem with poor soil removal, it is unlikely to be caused by insufficient softeners and sours. The other options, such as too little detergent, wash temperatures too low, and overloading the washers, are more directly related to the effectiveness of soil removal and are therefore more likely to be the cause of the problem.

    During the wash cycle, an optical step is to add a high-alkaline ________________ product.

    • Fabric softner

    • Sizing

    • Bleaching

    • Break

    Correct Answer
    A. Break
    Explanation
    During the wash cycle, an optical step is to add a high-alkaline break product. This suggests that the purpose of adding this product is to interrupt or stop the washing process temporarily. The high-alkaline nature of the break product may help in removing tough stains or dirt from the fabric. It could also be used to neutralize any remaining chemicals or residues from previous steps in the wash cycle.
