The Caritas Textile Care Bonn-Rhein-Sieg gGmbH It is located in Haus Elisabeth, a retirement home in Niederkassel. The textile care company employs people with and without disabilities. Since the company was founded in 2016, the laundry has relied on professional machines from STAHL.
In the past, the facilities operated by the Caritas organizations in Bonn and Rhein-Sieg had the linens and outerwear of their nursing home residents cleaned by an outside laundry service. However, the quality was not satisfactory. The Caritas organizations in Bonn and Rhein-Sieg therefore decided to Caritas Textile Care Bonn-Rhein-Sieg gGmbH Founded: In the central laundry facility Laundry from several buildings can be washed here. Currently, laundry comes from six facilities in the region.
Caritas Textilpflege processes hygiene-sensitive laundry. To ensure a hygienic laundry cycle, clean and soiled laundry are kept separate at the laundry facility in Niederkassel. The partitioned washing machines from STAHL used there, a DIVIMAT D 350 and two DIVIMAT D 600, are loaded on the soiled side and unloaded on the clean side. The quality and cleanliness of the laundry are of paramount importance in hygiene-sensitive areas. „Strict hygiene regulations apply in the laundry. This ensures that pathogens do not spread throughout the facility,“ says Andrea Blaß, director of Caritas Textilpflege Bonn-Rhein-Sieg gGmbH. In addition to the washing machines, the laundry facility also uses three dryers from STAHL, two T 246 and a T 254, as well as a Disinfection gate, which cleans laundry carts and wire baskets safely and hygienically.
Caritas Textilpflege uses fixed programs that all employees can easily operate. The fact that STAHL machines can be freely and manually programmed offers the textile care company additional Flexibility. The company also uses the Customer Service From STAHL: „If something goes wrong, we usually don’t have to wait more than a day for the replacement part to arrive. “The technician listens, works quickly and professionally,„ says Andrea Blaß, “but you can also take care of minor issues yourself.” Since their purchase in 2016, the STAHL machines have been running reliably and without extended downtime.
