TDS Commercial’s managing director, Rona Tait explains; “We’ve recently won a very large spa towel contract. The towels belong to the Spa and they come to us having been misused and not washed properly for many years and one of the reasons that we won it was because we were able to take them a sample wash back that showed that we got rid of residual oil that had been in the towels for a long time.”

Hayley Blackwell, operations manager at TDS said, “the Hydrofinity machine gives us excellent results and we can put laundry that we thought was otherwise for the rag pile back into use.” Rona backs up this point by explaining why their clients are looking for a high-quality finish. “We work on a dedicated stock system so we are able to offer a high quality finish to clients. We have a very varied client list from a racing team to top end spas and boutique hotels. Clients are looking for a better service rather than a lot of laundry in a short space of time.”

Another huge benefit the laundry has seen since this new machine was installed is the reduction of water (and therefore lower water bills).

The Hydrofinity machine uses up to 80 per cent less water than conventional machines and in just six months, TDS have saved over one million litres of water! This is enough water to last an adult in the UK 18 years!

To add to their impressive savings, this equates to over £9k savings and 35,000kWh of electricity! Blackwell continues TDS is loving the savings. “I would recommend the Hydrofinity system to other laundries, it really has been a great investment for us. Just to get the results we are seeing, it’s definitely worth it.”
