Whether day or boarding, special schools will share the requirements of mainstream schools but may have additional requirements for compliance.
Our range of washing machines has WRAS 5 accreditation and flexible programming allowing us to work with you to develop bespoke cycles which meet your needs.
If you’re thinking about reviewing your laundry it can be daunting.
We recommend that your first step is to review the capacity of your laundry. Is it still at the right level for your school and are the machines the right size for your location? It might be that the capacity is correct, but it’s split between too few machines, leading to operational inefficiencies.
How much space do you have?
Is this an opportunity to change the layout and iron out some of the issues caused by the current floor plan? Is it for a boarding house or incidental loads? If yes, you might want to consider a small chassis option such as Miele Little Giants.
Would it help to have better visibility of the machines?
If the answer’s yes, you might want to consider machines which have IoT connectivity, such as WASHCONNECT, providing you with all the visibility you could need. This includes infection control tracking for both thermal disinfection and ozone.
Are you managing flatwork in-house?
The latest rotary ironers in our range are 20% smaller than previous models with no compromise on productivity. This gives you the opportunity to review your laundry’s layout and ensure it’s as efficient as possible.
We know that it be daunting which is why we’re on hand to help you through the process. We understand every school is different and will work with you to find the solution which works for you. If you’d like some specialist advice then please get in touch.
