Stop Repeat Offenders with Washer Rack Labels
Healthmark Industries Co., Inc. announces the addition of a new label to its product line that is used to identify and track washer racks through the washing cycles when being tested with the company's TOSI and other ProFormance cleaning verification products.

It will help determine washer racks that are repeatedly not performing to cleaning standards so the issue can be properly identified. Manufactured with anodized aluminum and robust adhesive backing, they are designed to withstand repeated washing cycles. They are 2 inches by 0.625 inches.
