With the booming growth of hotels, restaurants, and rising hospital demands, laundry services, especially industrial laundry, have expanded rapidly. High-capacity systems are now essential to handle the massive linen loads from hotels, apartments, gyms, and hospitals. So, what is industrial laundry? Who uses it, and how does it work? Let’s find out with Giặt Ủi Xanh.
1. What is industrial laundry?
Industrial laundry is a large-scale fabric and linen cleaning process that uses specialized chemicals, industrial-grade detergents, and specific solvents to achieve the highest level of cleaning efficiency. This process is supported by a modern system of industrial washing machines, primarily horizontal drum models, designed with high capacity and the ability to operate continuously over extended periods.
Thanks to the powerful mechanical actions of these machines, including rotation, vibration, and friction, even stubborn stains such as grease, blood, protein residues, and medical waste are effectively removed from all types of materials. This is an optimal solution for facilities that need to handle a high volume of laundry on a daily basis, such as hospitals, hotels, restaurants, spas, gyms, or manufacturing plants.
2. Who are the customers of industrial laundry?
2.1 Hospitals
At hospitals, the volume of linen that needs to be laundered daily is extremely high due to the continuous inflow and outflow of patients. This leads to frequent use of various textile items such as bedsheets, blankets, towels, patient clothing, surgical garments, and medical uniforms. The healthcare sector, by its nature, requires laundry processes that not only meet strict hygienic and disinfection standards but also ensure fast turnaround times and punctual delivery schedules.
In this context, industrial laundry services are the only effective solution that can meet both the quantity and quality demands. With modern equipment, highly automated processes, and the ability to operate continuously, industrial laundry helps hospitals maintain a steady supply of clean, safe linen. This contributes to uninterrupted patient care and treatment operations.
2.2 Hospitalities
In the hospitality industry, laundry plays a crucial role, as the cleanliness and freshness of linens directly impact the customer experience. From napkins, towels, and bathrobes to bedsheets, duvets, and curtains, every detail reflects the professionalism and service quality of a hotel or restaurant.
Therefore, only industrial laundry can meet the strict hygiene and aesthetic standards required by partners in the hotel and restaurant sectors. Businesses in this field tend to prioritize laundry providers capable of handling large volumes of linens daily while still ensuring whiteness, cleanliness, softness, and fabric integrity. At the same time, strict adherence to delivery schedules is essential to avoid disrupting daily operations and guest services.
2.3 Health and beauty industry
At spas, beauty salons, and gyms, towels are used frequently and continuously, requiring quick laundering while still meeting strict hygiene standards. This is a critical factor that enhances service quality and helps maintain a professional image for health and wellness businesses.
As a result, industrial laundry services play an essential role in helping spas and gyms handle large volumes of towels on a daily basis. With professional washing processes, modern technology, and specialized detergents, industrial laundry ensures towels remain clean, fresh-smelling, and soft, thereby sustaining customer satisfaction and reinforcing trust in the brand.
2.4 Manufacturing businesses, construction sites
For manufacturing businesses, laundry needs often include items such as worker and staff uniforms, hand towels, oil rags, anti-static fabrics, and other specialized technical materials that must be cleaned regularly to maintain operational efficiency and workplace safety. These items typically involve large volumes and are heavily soiled with difficult stains like industrial grease, metal dust, or chemicals.
In this context, industrial laundry is the most optimal—and often the only—solution capable of meeting these demands effectively. More importantly, industrial laundry services help businesses maintain a ready supply of clean materials for production, contributing to uninterrupted and stable operations.
3. Equipment of industrial laundry system
An industrial laundry system is a specialized set of equipment designed to handle large volumes of linen and textiles with high speed, efficiency, and consistent quality after each wash cycle. In a standard industrial laundry line, the following core machines are essential:
-
Industrial Washing Machine: The central unit of the entire system, featuring high capacity and the ability to operate continuously. It removes stubborn stains through powerful mechanical action combined with specialized detergents.
-
Industrial Dryer: Uses high temperatures to rapidly dry large quantities of fabric while preserving the integrity of textile fibers.
-
Flatwork Ironer: Designed specifically for ironing large-size fabrics such as bedsheets, tablecloths, and duvet covers. It operates at high speed, helping to save time and labor.
-
Finishing Table (Pressing Station): Used for items that require more delicate or manual finishing, such as uniforms, shirts, or hand towels, ensuring a smooth and aesthetically pleasing final result.
Investing in a synchronized and modern equipment system allows the industrial laundry process to be closed-loop, highly automated, and reliably efficient over long periods of operation.
4. General process of industrial laundry
In the industrial laundry sector, fabric handling processes are fundamentally built on a standardized sequence of steps, including sorting, washing, extracting, drying, ironing, folding, packaging, and delivery. Depending on the nature of operations and customer requirements, each laundry facility may fine-tune and optimize individual stages to improve washing quality, shorten processing time, and ensure operational efficiency.
