The team at Wolf Laundry has shared a case study of a recent installation at Herncliffe Care Home who provide dementia, residential and nursing care in Keighley, West Yorkshire.

The family-run care home was founded 30 years ago and has 115 beds spread over six care units, and 200 members of staff. It has established a great reputation which is testament to the excellent care provided by its professional team. Herncliffe has a four-strong laundry team operating the onsite launderette from 7.30am until 3.30pm, seven days a week. The laundry provides personal laundry for residents and bed linen for up to 115 beds at any one time. The challenge that Herncliffe Care Home had was that they used the same machines and tumble dryers for a number of years, and they were experiencing a number of issues, with machines frequently breaking down and the high volumes of laundry the care home produced backing up. They approached Wolf Laundry for a solution which came in the form of five Schulthess proLine W-Series machines. The five machines facilitate large washing loads in less time and fast washing programmes, saving Herncliffe Care Home time and money. Importantly, even more so for a care home, is the disinfection programmes and hygiene monitoring the machines boast which guarantee hygienic, clean and germ-free laundry. They’re also designed for low energy consumption and offer environmentally friendly wetcleaning.

Excerpt taken from Wolf Laundry website:

“After spotting a gap in the market, Wolf Laundry was founded in 2012 as a small business with just 4 employees. In 2015 Wolf had began to cover the North of England and the team began to grow. In 2022 Wolf invested £500k into purpose built premises and made several senior appointments. Wolf Laundry are now one of the UK’s leading suppliers of commercial laundry equipment understanding the need for reliable laundry services.”
