Out with the outsource and in with the inhouse
October 1st 2007 Swinton Park has established
its own in-house laundry using
a full range of equipment
sourced entirely from Girbau
UK including washing
machines with the JHC
Laundry O-Clean ozone
cleaning system. Previously the
hotel outsourced its laundry
requirements to subcontractors,
but it now expects
its own laundry to save time
and money as well as raising
the quality and consistency of
its washing.
The luxury hotel is in a
remote location that made it
difficult to source a laundry
contractor that could meet its
requirements for quality
laundry on a consistent basis.
After looking at three different
laundry manufacturers,
Swinton Park chose two 50-
pound washers, two 50-pound
driers, a roller iron and silk
finisher from Girbau UK.
Andrew McPherson, general
manager of Swinton Park, said
he expects to save over
£100,000 over the next five
years by using a Girbauequipped
laundry.The O-Clean
system works by injecting
ozone into the wash cycle.
Ozone is a powerful, natural
disinfectant which is over 3,000
times faster acting than
chlorine bleach.The wash
cycles use less detergent than
traditional machines and cycles
are much shorter, meaning less
water is used. More articles from Girbau UK Ltd: |
