Laundry installs sanitizing system

Several city officials were on hand Aug. 24 as Moonlight Cleaners, 823 Main St., showed off its recently installed automatic sanitizing system, which uses ozone.

“This San-O-Wash system kills most bacteria, viruses and household germs, eliminates odors providing users with the cleanest washing machines, and the cleanest, softer, and freshest laundry possible,” Tom and Cindy Tobiassen, who own the laundry, said in a press release. “Cindy and I want our customers to know their laundry and our washers are sanitized.”

Tobiassen said 2020 has become a challenging year because of the coronavirus and sanitization is more important than ever.
