NHS and Hospitals

We cater for the specific needs of the care sector, including supply to many hospitals and NHS trusts.

Effective, deep cleaning is at the heart of efficient care and we offer a range of equipment optimised to keep the environment clean. Floor, carpets and upholstery are kept pristine by a comprehensive range of quality equipment and brands, complemented by all necessary cleaning chemicals and polishes, while we offer laundry machines optimised to removing heavy soiling efficiently. We also offer hospital colour coded janitorial hardware to correspond to housekeeping requirements.

We supply a full range of small load, semi-commercial laundry machines optimised to the needs of in-house ‘self-help’ launderettes, complete with wall poster operating instructions that minimise staff involvement and maximise equipment efficiency. These machines are designed as energy efficient, ‘green’ machines that reduce environmental impact and operating costs resulting from heavy use.

Kitchens equally need constant updating, so if you need a new commercial microwave, refrigerator or dishwasher to fit into your existing set-up we can arrange replacement machines quickly and easily…

Working with Laundry Managers

We work with Laundry Managers to audit and meet all the requirements for laundering, so that everything is configured for your requirements, because every laundry is different.

• A laundry area designated for that purpose only, with separate ventilation and ideally a flow through system, so that dirty laundry can arrive through one door and be quickly decontaminated, before drying and removal through a separate exit to a clean storage area.

• An industrial washing machine sited on a plinth with sluice and hot wash cycles is required. These should be professionally installed and maintained with precautions to prevent contamination by them creating aerosols.

• An industrial dryer should be used that is regularly maintained to dry all clothing and linen. This should not be a condensing type and needs to be externally vented.

• A regular service and maintenance inspection schedule should be maintained for the home’s regulating body.
