The private laundry of the residents, staff workwear as well as table linen, towels and bed linen and curtains from the 85 rooms and the cafeteria weigh in at around 1,800 kg each week. In addition to its own laundry, the nursing home processes flat laundry from another old people’s home twice a week (about 50 kg a month) as well as laundry from a non-profit organisation (about 80 to 100 kg a month). For Head of Economics Elisa Pereira, the most important features of the washing machines are that they are easy to use, that they work with a direct detergent dosing system and that they have a disinfection programme. The home has been a satisfied Schulthess customer since 2008. Elisa Pereira also appreciates the excellent quality and the elegant uniform line of the machines, as well as good cooperation with the Schulthess salesperson. Fast and expert customer service is also important to her. This is because the nursing home is dependent on having machines that are always in working order so that the laundry can be returned to the residents on time.
