Stop diseases and save on running costs with Electrolux ELECTROLUX Professional Laundry has produced a comprehensive Good Laundry Practice Guide and information pack on how to control the spread of infections with good laundry practice and the latest energy efficient equipment. Continually preventing infection and prioritising hygiene are essential to ensure that people who use health and social care services receive safe and effective care. It is a challenge that Healthcare providers face on a daily basis. As a leading laundry equipment provider to the care and health sector, Electrolux is committed to reducing diseases and infections, and is continually developing equipment to tackle the problem more efficiently as well as producing the lowest cost in use machines in the market.
Using the best equipment available is a primary factor, but a well designed laundry can also offer significant cost savings. Electrolux Professional offers a free laundry audit to determine the overall requirements. For example, where the laundry is located, the different levels of care being offered and the functions of the equipment to be installed. Getting this right at the beginning will reduce the need to make good the facilities at a later date. As well as the Good Laundry Practice Guide, the information pack contains a laundry poster, a service reminder sticker and a training dvd.
