Cost management of an industrial laundry is one of the sector's highest priorities, with the analysis of washing costs per kg of laundry being crucial.
There are important factors that clearly contribute to assisting in this cost management, namely the choice of the most suitable chemical products and precise, reliable, and safe automated dosing systems.
These systems ensure the use of the strictly necessary chemical load with maximum performance from the solutions used, reducing the level of rejection and process repetition to a minimum. It is thus possible to promote efficient use, avoiding the excessive use of chemicals, water, electricity, and operational time. Another factor is the definition of procedures for the laundry circuit, specifically regarding the sorting and separation of items, in order to reduce rejection rates as well as choosing appropriate programs depending on the type and soil level of the laundry.
The role of water and the importance of its treatment
Water plays an important role in the world of detergency. Hardness, as a natural characteristic of water, is essentially related to the presence of calcium and magnesium salts that dissolve in water through contact with rocks, being considered hard when there are significant values of these salts.
The impact of its hardness on the washing process is an aspect that should not be underestimated, as it can compromise the effective performance of detergents, having effects on both washing quality and the durability of equipment.
Thus, it is essential to be aware of and sensitive to the importance of carrying out a diagnosis and potentially implementing water treatment systems in order to maximize the profitability of washing processes, with the main goal of reducing costs.
Preventing the impact of water hardness also lies in considering detergents whose formulation is equipped with chelating agents suitable for combating the hardness caused by ions. Chelating agents have the ability to complex and inactivate metal ions, such as calcium, iron, copper, and magnesium originating from the water and/or other raw materials present in the formulation, thus allowing surfactants to act fully on dirt and stains, avoiding the precipitation of detergent components and preventing the formation and deposit of salts from the water in machines and textiles.
Importance of softening in this sector
For an industrial laundry, softening is one of the essential stages of washing and is crucial during the drying process, as it aims to ensure that clothes come out with the quality and comfort expected by the customer. The use of fabric softener in the process provides laundry with treatment and a finish with several functional, but also emotional advantages, thanks to the various ingredients in its formulation. Fabric softener facilitates the ironing process, making it faster and more efficient, helps to soften and smooth fabric fibers, and is responsible for forming a protective layer on the fibers, reducing friction, protecting them from wear, and making clothes softer and more comfortable.
Functional advantages:
- Faster drying;
- Softness;
- Protection of fibers and colors;
- Reduction of creases;
- Anti-static effect;
- Safety in industrial laundry.
