• Textile Service companies continue to service linen and PPEs/clothing for hospitals, healthcare facilities and elderly care homes! Allowing them to continue to focus on combatting Covid-19
• Our validated laundry and delivery processes are designed to ensure proper hygiene and disinfection. This is part of our expertise and day-to-day logistical operations and a great assess in those recovery times for the opening sectors such as hospitality and tourism.
• We are a proximity service, employing workers locally. This means we can ensure continued security of supply of disinfected and protective textiles to hospitals and healthcare facilities. We prefer reusables to disposables!
