Workwear Rental Service

Lindström leverages innovative technology to optimise its uniform laundering services and provide a seamless customer experience.

RFID garment tracking: Each garment collected for washing is equipped with an RFID tag, enabling efficient tracking and sorting throughout the laundry process. This technology streamlines operations, reduces manual labour, and ensures accurate inventory management.

eLindström: Our all-in-one online management tool is a comprehensive digital solution that puts customers in control of their textile services. It provides customers with 24/7 access to their workwear and industrial wiper service accounts. Through eLindström, customers can:

• Track deliveries and products in real-time.
• Make additional orders or refill supply stocks as needed.
• View the status of service requests and orders.
• Access reports and documentation related to their services.
• Manage different delivery locations and employees.
• Gain insights about circulation speed and volumes.

We believe that sustainability in business goes hand-in-hand with success. We are committed to minimising our environmental impact throughout our operations, particularly when it comes to water usage in our uniform laundry service and industrial rag cleaning service.

Our achievements in water conservation

• Reduced water consumption in our workwear laundering services by 50% per washed textile kilogram over the past three decades.
• Implemented water recycling practices in 80% of our laundries, recovering water from rinsing phases and reusing it in the washing process.

As a one-time purchase, taking the plunge and buying workwear seems like an attractive solution. However, the care of the clothing is an essential factor in the final cost, as well as garment repairs, replacements, and logistics. Buying workwear includes a lot of hidden costs you may not be taking into consideration.  Workwear rental is always a more affordable solution when it comes to overall costs – it includes everything and saves you the stress of handling the arrangements by yourself, for example:

• Acquiring the garments
• Cleaning and maintenance of workwear
• Meeting the legal obligations and standards for workwear
• Lost garments and replacements of damaged workwear
• Seasonal changes in workwear needs and storing the garments
• Logistics arrangements between laundry service and your facility

Our existing workwear collections are fully customisable, whether you want to add a pocket somewhere or change some buttons. If your company requires a fully customised workwear solution, our design team will help create unique company workwear specifically designed for your needs.

We want to ensure the safety and comfort of your employees when using our workwear. Therefore, we fit all the garments before delivery and order custom changes to them if your employees need them. For instance, shorter sleeves or legs on certain pieces of workwear.

Workwear can vary immensely in terms of quality and in meeting safety standards. We have designed our workwear to meet the legal obligations and standards. For instance, the protective qualities and hygiene requirements of different industries. Offering you a workwear rental solution that is suitable just for your needs. When renting workwear from a reputable source, you can be sure that the garments and accessories are constructed from time-tested, durable, and safe materials.

It is a common misunderstanding that clean would equal hygienic. However, home washing or regular laundry servicing doesn’t meet the hygienic standards of many industries. Cleaning only removes visible dirt, which is usually the norm for home washing, whereas hygienic cleaning also eliminates invisible dirt, bacteria, and other pathogens. For many industries, home washing or regular laundry service simply does not meet the industrial and legal requirements. Therefore imposing a risk for both employees as well as employers with responsibility for product safety. Read more about our workwear safety and hygiene here.

The number of uniforms that you receive will depend on the industry you work in and the work environment. Sectors with dirtier environments for example mechanics’ workwear or high levels of contamination such as healthcare uniforms will require more uniforms and changes per week.
