Young adults admit their inability to do their own washing!

Date: 26/03/2010

A recent survey shockingly revealed that over 80 per cent of 18-25 year olds still don’t understand the washing instructions on their clothing.
In addition to this, many also admitted that they didn’t even bother to read the labels before they put items in the wash!

Many factors have been blamed on the fact that many young adults don’t know how to deal with their own washing, and it is a running joke amongst many that those in their twenties still take their washing home to their parents. However, Kim Woodburn- of How Clean Is Your House? fame- doesn’t feel that it’s any laughing matter!

Shocked at the results of the survey she fumed:

''Young adults are too pampered these days and are used to their parents doing their washing while they are at university and even still living at home.

''When they are dropped into the real world they haven't a clue about washing so they buy new clothes instead of getting the stains out of the ones they already have. It's ridiculous that they can't use a washing machine properly at that age."

A good tip for any young adults who are confused about washing instructions and how to use a washing machine, is to take a trip down to the local launderette. Once the art of using commercial laundry equipment has been mastered, using the machine at home should be a piece of cake!

Save time and effort with industrial washing machines

Date: 22/03/2010

There are many different industries where high volumes of laundry are dealt with on a regular basis- including hotels, restaurants, care homes and spas. Using a standard domestic washing machine is generally not the best option in these circumstances, as they are not designed to deal with bulky items and extremely frequent usage.

This is where industrial washing machines come in very handy. These units have been specifically tailored to cope with the demands of commercial environments, and offer a range of benefits.

Large items, such as bedding often require more than one spin to get rid of excess water- which can put even more of a strain on a standard washing machine and add to electricity costs. However, industrial washing machines have a high spin feature- which quickly and effectively gets rid of water, which ultimately results in reduced drying time.

Industrial washing machines are strong and durable- so they can handle constant large and heavy loads without performance or reliability being compromised.

Stop struggling with an unsuitable standard washing machine and make commercial laundry tasks quick and easy.

Get your clothing ready for spring

Date: 03/03/2010

Although the weather only seems to have slightly improved, March means that spring is finally on its way, and after long months of being wrapped up in our winter woollies, it’s nearly time to start sorting out our clothes for spring again.

There’s no better feeling than banishing our winter woollies to the back of the wardrobe and pulling out our more flattering clothes. However, if your clothes have been hung at the back of the wardrobe for months, waiting for spring to make an appearance, they could smell a little on the musty side.

Once you have decided on your essentials for spring, the best way of getting them looking (and smelling!) their best again is by taking them down to your local launderette and giving them a thorough clean.

Gone are the days when launderettes owned old fashioned and slow washing machines and tumble dryers, the commercial laundry equipment that is used in launderettes today will have your clothes looking the best that they have in a very long time.

Spring clean your clothes and treat them to a new lease of life.
