By In industries that rely on protective and durable workwear, maintaining the integrity of garments is as critical as choosing the right ones. At Aberdeen Laundry Services (ALS), we understand that supplying high-quality workwear is just the beginning. The way these garments are cleaned and cared for is equally important. That’s why we offer a comprehensive laundering service that not only enhances sustainability but also ensures compliance with industry regulations.
The Hidden Cost of In-House Laundry
Many organisations opt to have employees launder their own workwear, assuming it is a cost-effective solution. However, this approach carries significant risks. Domestic washing machines are not designed to handle specialised garments. Over time, their protective properties—such as flame resistance, high-visibility coatings, or chemical barriers—can degrade, compromising employee safety.
Additionally, home laundering lacks the rigorous hygiene protocols necessary in industries like food production or healthcare, where cross-contamination can have serious consequences. Without proper monitoring and documentation, it’s impossible to guarantee that garments meet regulatory standards after each wash.
The ALS Solution: Compliance and Sustainability
At ALS, our professional laundry services address these challenges directly. Our commercial facilities are equipped to handle all types of workwear, from high-visibility jackets to chefs’ uniforms, ensuring garments are cleaned to the highest standards while maintaining their protective features.
Our processes are also aligned with industry regulations, providing businesses with the assurance that their employees’ workwear is always compliant. We use specialist detergents and techniques tailored to preserve the functionality of safety garments, helping your organisation avoid costly compliance issues.
Beyond compliance, our laundering service is designed with sustainability in mind. We use advanced technologies to reduce water and energy consumption compared to traditional laundering methods. By centralising the cleaning process, we minimise the environmental impact associated with multiple in-house laundry setups or home washing.
