Ready to Optimise Your Laundry Operation?
40+ years experience in helping Industrial & Commercial Laundries optimise performance and reduce costs
Specialists in Reducing Costs through Process Optimisation
soiled linen storage
We evaluate linen storage locations and conditions, assess how linen is transported and handled, and identify opportunities to improve workflow and minimise damage — ensuring a more efficient and cost-effective operation.
SORTING
We review linen classification and handling processes, assess staff operations and knowledge, and identify efficiency gains in sorting layout and workflow to enhance productivity and quality.
WATER
We analyze water storage and supply sources, optimise usage, and monitor key factors such as hardness levels, pH balance, and iron content to ensure consistent water quality and optimal washing performance.
chemicals
We assess chemical usage and handling practices, inspect dosing and storage equipment, evaluate operator knowledge and training, and ensure strong Health & Safety awareness across all chemical processes.
washing equipment
We benchmark the performance of washer-extractors and continuous batch washers, review operator knowledge along with load factors, cycle times, and resource consumption, and assess equipment condition and maintenance practices to maximise efficiency and reliability.
conditioning
We evaluate the performance of dryers and conditioning equipment, review operator knowledge, and assess moisture retention and energy efficiency to ensure optimal drying results and reduced operational costs.
Finishing
We assess equipment functionality, workflow, and ergonomics, while also evaluating how effectively operators identify and classify rejects to improve quality control and overall efficiency.
quality audit
We analyze reject rates by classification, review and categorize reject types, and identify recurring causes and patterns. We also conduct packed goods audits to ensure quality and presentation, assess rag linen for potential recovery and reuse, and evaluate the overall whiteness and brightness of finished linen to maintain the highest standards.
LINEN RECOVERY / TREATMENT PROCESSES
We review rewash and recovery processes, assess the percentage of linen successfully reclaimed for reuse, and develop improved recovery methods to maximize linen lifespan and reduce waste.
Team Training
We can also provide practical, hands-on training to ensure your laundry team operates safely, efficiently, and to the highest standards.
We provide essential laundry operations training from health & safety and chemical awareness to washer extractor and continuous batch washer operation, process design, and stain identification.
