Who are we?
We have experts in these sectors who are ready to advise and help design the best workwear and cleaning cloth service for you

We have experts in these sectors who are ready to advise and help design the best workwear and cleaning cloth service for you.

 

But what are workwear and wiper rental services?  In a nutshell, we supply the perfect garments and cleaning cloths for your workers and maintain them through a professional laundry, recycling and repair service.  The cost for this is then minimised and spread evenly over an optimal period.

Who are we?
Our Products
With garments, at the outset, we will measure your staff using pre-washed sizing sets.

With garments, at the outset, we will measure your staff using pre-washed sizing sets.  Each item of workwear is labelled, badged and RFID tagged, before being issued to your staff, often via our unique workwear dispensing lockers and soiled garment collectors.  Then, your route service representative will call weekly to deliver freshly laundered garments and collect the soiled workwear.  Not only do we maximise the life of garments, that were also originally built to last, but in the end, we ensure that the fabric from worn-out items is recycled into new products.  A circular and sustainable service.

 

Turning to wipers, our experts will help you select the best cloth for your applications.  We will then determine the optimum stock levels and add dispensers and soiled wiper collectors to make the distribution of wipers convenient for your staff and keep your premises safe.  All our wipers are recycled by us, so if you are using something like blue roll, or other disposable wipers, our service will allow you to remove a waste stream.  Furthermore, our state-of-the-art wiper laundry treats then recycles all process water.  So, apart from a tiny volume required for machinery cooling, no fresh water enters our process.  Then nearly all the removed soiling is used as waste fuel by a local cement works.  Real sustainability!

Because we track all our textiles, we will also tell you how efficiently you are using the service.  This might provide scope for cost optimisation which is facilitated by our flexible agreement.

Finally, if you are purchasing workwear or disposable wipes and then relying on home laundry or waste disposal, we are very confident that we can save you money!
