Joe:
Buy them and issue one per person who will take them home to
wash during the weekend. Some will ask for another which is still more
economical than renting and paying for cleaning. Many companies do just
that.
If you send them to a cleaner many times each individual will not
get the same one back. Let me tell you, It is not pleasant to wear every
week somebody else's smock. Some will take pride and keep them very clean
and there will be some that will stain them with cosmetics, food, oils and
anything else.
Regards,
Ramon
