Love Laundry finalists announced

2024 Love Laundry Awards finalists revealed

We are proud to reveal the finalists of the 2024 Love Laundry Awards.  

Since 2021, the Love Laundry Awards have been celebrating the care home laundry heroes whose dedication and hard work contribute to the well-being and safety of residents.

Once again, this year’s nominations have demonstrated the sheer commitment of laundry staff around the country to deliver best-in-class standards, no matter the challenges they face.

The number of entries and heart-warming stories have made it difficult to shortlist the nominees in the three categories: Laundry Hero Award, Laundry Team Award and Care Home Group Award.

WASHCO’s Marketing Director, Emily Stoten, said: “Every year, it gets more difficult to shortlist the nominees. Reading about the dedication and determination of our laundry heroes is humbling. No matter whether they are shortlisted or not, they are all heroes worthy of our recognition.”
