these are all renewed, and the bedding, with the other
articles, is then returned home in another van which bas not
been infected. A list of the articles removed is entered in a
book, checked by the householder, and signed for on
recovery. Occasional complaints are received on account of
the discolouration that inevitably takes place on subjecting
old bedding to the high temperature. Blankets, with linen,
are usually put in soak by the Inspector, and the householder
is responsible for their proper washing. It seems impossible
to subject blankets to the action of the disinfection without
spoiling them, and therefore, unless there are special circumstances
necessitating this procedure, they are not removed.
The Inspector carries out this work well, efficiently, and with
discretion.
