Laundry Service providers in hotels, hospitals and care houses have the job of ensuring that fabrics such as bed linen and towels are correctly washed to the best standards of care.
It is in particular essential in facilities where there are people whose age or state of health makes them at risk of infections.
However, any kind of fabric is likely to shed small particles of dust and fibers and in a large laundry these are usually taken away, along with steam, through the extraction duct system.
The particles are usually trapped in filters before the air travels into the extraction ducts, but a significant proportion can still get through and then build up inside the ducting.
There are several reasons why it is important to prevent this build-up in an extraction system.
Firstly it reduces the area in of the vents leading to less productive removal of the hot, moist air, which can affect not only the atmosphere and air quality in the laundry, where people are working but can also add to the energy costs of the system having to work harder. In time it may lead to wear and damage of parts of the system and costly replacement.
Secondly, a build-up of fibers can be a critical fire hazard, and as is the case with kitchen ductwork, laundry extract systems are particularly vulnerable, particularly because of the large volume of laundry that passes through them to be cleaned.
These days’ insurance providers are likely to want to see evidence, such as a certificates, that shows that the building and its ventilation and extraction systems are regularly maintained, serviced and cleaned.
It can be worthwhile to have laundry ventilation cleaning done by a specialist cleaning company that will carry out an on-site inspection of the specific system because every installation differs from the others.
A regular programmer of inspection, maintenance and.
Properly-trained specialists have the information to advice on a programmer designed for its needs and advice on how to most cost-effectively manage the fire risk associated with a laundry system. Usually the particles get trapped in filters before the air travels into the extraction ducts, but a significant proportion can still get through and then build up inside the ducting. Typically it will advise regular inspection, filter maintenance and replacement and a ventilation clean either every six months or annually.
An established company will keep the client informed of every step of the work it has completed, may also advise of any destruction in need of repair and should in addition provide a certificate of achievement of the job that can then provide a formal record of the work and can be supplied to the insurance carrier.
A normal designer of maintenance, examination and washing laundry extract ventilation cleaning can also keep the system functioning as efficiently as possible, keeping operating costs as low as possible as well as ensuring the health and safety of those working there or using the building and their protection from a possible fire hazard.
