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.
