With rising costs, schools should consider bringing their laundry in-house rather than relying on outsourcing to save money. By outsourcing you are paying thousands of pounds more than you need to each year by committing to substantial clothing stocks, hidden supplementary charges and unexpected price rises.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s the solution for <\/strong>the education sector?<\/strong><\/p>\n The education sector has an array of laundry requirements from sports kits to the uniforms of kitchen staff with boarding schools handling high volumes of linen and personal clothing.<\/p>\n With your own on-site laundry system you\u2019re able to take full control \u2013 including the quality of your wash. You are likely to lose a bit of space but the benefits can be powerful \u2013 including big savings on energy when you use the most up-to-date equipment. Another bonus is that staff aren\u2019t having to stand about counting stock when it comes back from the external laundry provider. Time is saved in terms of waiting for deliveries and staff allocating stock to the laundry room.<\/p>\n What solutions does JLA offer?<\/strong><\/p>\n Many schools already trust energy-efficient JLA commercial washing machines<\/a>, commercial tumble dryers<\/a> and professional irons. One of the biggest benefits is that we offer flexibility with a range of configurations, which take up much less space than you might image.<\/p>\n These clients are benefiting from the revolutionary way JLA\u2019s OTEX system cleans them and also manages infection control. OTEX can be added as an optional extra, which increases infection control capabilities and reduces energy consumption.<\/p>\n What is <\/strong>ozone technology is?<\/strong><\/p>\n JLA\u2019s OTEX ozone system uses a natural disinfection process that kills 99.999% of moulds, yeasts, viruses and bacteria \u2013 including coronavirus \u2013 at low temperatures. That means you can reduce water, electricity, gas and detergent use, ultimately saving you money on all three while increasing the lifespan of your linen. A win-win all round.<\/p>\n Doesn\u2019t buying new equipment require huge capital outlay?<\/strong><\/p>\n Usually bringing your laundry in house can be an expensive investment, even if it will eventually pay for itself. Equally this doesn\u2019t have to mean a large capital outlay.<\/p>\n Total care, JLA\u2019s fully all-inclusive managed service package, is designed around every client\u2019s needs. For a simple monthly fee, you enjoy new laundry room equipment with no upfront costs, free installation and 24\/7 support \u2013 including servicing, spare parts and repairs. In other words, you get all the benefits of advanced laundry equipment, with world-class maintenance and same-day breakdown support, for one monthly payment.<\/p>\n What else should I bear in mind when I want to bring my laundry in house?<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s worth considering the extra labour requirement that will be needed to process the laundry on site. You will find the jobs such as checking the laundry in and out are no longer required mitigating the extra staffing required in the laundry.<\/p>\n Thinking about the right configuration for your laundry room will be essential, maximising the right solution in the space you have available.<\/p>\n
