In an institution of this size, a lot of laundry accumulates every day. A wide variety of fabrics need to be washed: From cashmere jumpers and school and staff uniforms to ski suits, but also bed linen and towels – it all needs to be cared for. Appropriate laundry solutions are needed so that these various fabrics can be cleaned gently, quickly and efficiently. This is exactly where Schulthess washing machines come into play. ‘Schulthess offered us an excellent solution precisely tailored to our school. When the Collège was modernised in 2010 at the behest of Jérôme de Meyer, General Manager, Schulthess gave us the best possible advice and upgraded it with the latest generation of washing machines,’ says Jean-Charles Commandoux, Hotel Service Manager Beau Soleil. The innovative laundry operation is located in the main building of the Collège and is equipped with two models each of the Schulthess washing machine Spirit industrial WSI 300 and the Schulthess dryer Spirit proLine TRI 8550 as well as several ironing stations. Thanks to their low electricity consumption, the appliances fit perfectly into the ecological Beau Soleil concept. A small chip is attached to each item of clothing, which can be used to electronically determine to whom the clothing belongs. This makes it easy to keep track of the clothes at any time. Thus each pupil is provided with freshly laundered clothes in his or her personal laundry bag.
