So I was thinking about trolling the comments over at Nate McCord's site, when I ran across this story from the Drudge Report about a restaurant in China using underwear as dish cloths.

Eeeeks!! you say.

I have a dirty secret. Because Lyman's undies and t-shirts are white cotton, they go into the laundry with dish cloths and dish towels which are also white cotton. The whole load is soaked for hours in hot water, detergent and a more than healthy dose of bleach. The load comes from the dryer white and sanitary. I'm confident that no cross-contamination is occurring. (Gads, you should see some of the dish towels that come out of this kitchen.) I see no need to freak until they determine what laundry procedures the restaurant follows.

And, well, the Chinese and laundry ...
