Each resident is
provided with their own
dedicated mesh bags
for laundering, with
separate bags available
for delicate fabrics.
At Elis, we operate on an industrial scale: on
average, our machines are designed to process
the equivalent of around 8 -10 conventional loads
of washing all in one go.
This means we can complete an entire batch
of care home clothing in an average time of two
to three hours, and with our professional service
and specialist processes you can be confident
that all garments are in safe hands.
”
We wash clothing at low temperatures to maintain
the integrity of the garments, but the specialist
detergents and fabric conditioners we use are
designed to launder and disinfect while protecting
the fabric and preventing colour run.
We also operate in line with EN 14065 requirements
for the highest standards of infection control, giving
peace of mind that garments are not just clean,
but hygienically clean.
Our care home laundry service additionally offers
flat linen rental items, including luxurious bed linen
and soft, fluffy white towels perfect for adding a
homely touch. Contact us today to find out how
we can help streamline laundry processes at your
care home: uk-carehomes@elis.com
Dates for your diary
Each resident is provided with their own dedicated
mesh bags for laundering, with separate bags
available for delicate fabrics. Each bag is labelled
with the resident’s name and a unique QR code,
meaning clothing items are tracked through our
entire laundry process, as well as being treated
with the utmost care.
