The Center for Laundry Research

Library cart

This is a fairly comprehensive library of laundry information; however, our Newsroom is a better place to search for newspaper articles. Our blog, The Clothes Peg, has a section called "Other Backyards" that connects to bloggers who discuss clotheslines and such. You can also find good information in our periodic newsletter, Hanging Out. We have a Laundry History page for those with that focus. Our Laundry Tips & Tricks area, together with Frequently Asked Questions, will help with practical concerns.

Firemen at Work picture

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimated that in 1997, there were approximately 16,700 fires, 30 deaths and 430 injuries associated with electric clothes dryers.

Fizzy Science: The Battle Over Dam-created Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Fizzy Science


A bitter debate has broken out in the scientific community over hydropower’s contribution to global warming. A leading climate scientist calculates that there are startlingly high levels of greenhouse gas emissions when water is released from the turbines and spillways of dams in the tropics. But hydro industry-backed researchers have sharply attacked his work. An IRN report, "Fizzy Science: Loosening the Hydro Industry’s Grip on Reservoir Greenhouse Gas Emissions Research," calls for a UN scientific panel to review the issue.

The Sustainable Manufacturing Group is part of the Institute for Manufacturing at Cambridge University. This report from them presents the outcome of a five person-year study conducted at the Institute for Manufacturing on the future supply of clothing and textiles to the UK. The bulk of the work of the project was a scenario analysis of various future means to meet the UKs demand for clothing and textiles. The scenarios were developed with three case study products, and analyzed according to the "triple bottom line", including environmental life cycle costs, calculation of national accounts and prediction of employment changes.
