A Look into Laundry Practices in Educational Institutions

It’s safe to say a lot of educational institutions aren’t generally geared towards requiring laundry frequently, if at all, in some cases. However, for institutions like boarding schools, or larger schools that provide uniforms/ clothing for extracurricular activities such as sport, or drama, it could be more frequent.

So how exactly do they get their laundry done? Let’s have a look at an educational institute that would likely deal with their own laundry, boarding schools.

Boarding schools

Boarding schools deal with a large amount of laundry including bedsheets, towels, uniforms and more. So it would make sense that a boarding school would likely have their own in-house laundry procedure/system.

For the sake of hygiene, not only must the wash cycles be appropriate to the items being cleaned, but the detergents, powders must be considered too. Additionally, they would require their own washers and dryers.

By committing to an in-house laundry procedure, they may very well be able to clean their items at a time that suits them, but using a laundry service may actually be a better idea. A laundry service like Love2Laundry saves the costs you would have to pay for the detergents and powders, in addition to the energy bills that the washing contributed to.

Not only does a laundry service save you from long-term additional costs, they also work to the schedule that you set. It is all done at your convenience. What’s more is that the industrial grade machines a laundry service uses, in conjunction with their detergents and general expertise, results in hygienically clean and spotless items.

Why don’t children wash their laundry at home?

In a vast majority of cases, this is already done with their regular school uniforms.

However, In the case of certain sport uniforms or costumes for a drama or dance performance. If the clothing is provided by the school and not bought by the student, it would not be fair to burden the child with an extra responsibility.

Additionally, with a frequent necessity to clean their current uniforms, or clothes, it could prove to be a little too much. This is before we can even consider their home lives and if they even have easy access to cleaning facilities. This becomes even more delicate when we begin to understand the impact that the cost of living crisis has had on families.

Can a laundry service remove tough stains?

Yes. In a vast majority of cases, they can. This is especially helpful to know if you are part of a school that provides sport uniforms for outdoor sports such as football. It’s no secret that a game on a wet and windy football pitch isn’t going to see you walk away spotless.

If you don’t have the right machine, detergents, or powders etc, you may fail to clean the tough stains made by mud, even some in-house school cleaning facilities may struggle for a spotless clean. Laundry services have not only seen stains like that before, but maybe even worse.

It is also worth noting that some laundry services may refuse to clean items if the stains on it have the potential to be a health hazard. Always check the stipulations of the laundry service you use, or get in contact for complete clarity.
