Picture this: You’ve made the swap to reusables and now need to wash them. Sounds simple, right? You could just wash them within your venue. We hate to break the bad news to you, but there are so many reasons NOT to wash your reusables in-house. Wash centres are equipped to clean reusable packaging to high standards, ensuring they are suitable for continued use.
At Circulayo, our Flow Centres provide wash and dry services for reusable packaging in Derby and surrounding areas. Our partner, Blue Planet Washing Solutions, provides the same services to businesses in southern England.
There are several key reasons why professional cleaning through a specialised wash centre is recommended for your reusable packaging:
Thorough Cleaning Process
A variety of cleaning materials and chemicals are used to thoroughly clean different types of reusable items. It is important to select the correct cleaning products and follow the recommended temperature guidelines to ensure that bacteria and germs are effectively eliminated during the washing process.
Constant monitoring is necessary to maintain the correct temperature. Following the washing process, rigorous quality checks are conducted to ensure each item meets the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene.
These checks ensure that only thoroughly cleaned and sanitised items are reintroduced for use, with strict protocols in place to prevent cross-contamination and mixing with allergens.
Quality Assurance
Quality checks play a vital role in guaranteeing the safety of packaging intended for reuse at events. These tests are designed to ensure that only thoroughly cleaned and sanitised items are reintroduced into circulation, otherwise, they are rewashed. Strict protocols are in place to ensure that reusable items undergo thorough washing processes to prevent cross-contamination and potential mixing with allergens.
With the growing emphasis on sustainability and health-conscious choices among consumers, the significance of wash centres in upholding these standards has become increasingly pronounced.
Wash Centre Training and Accreditations
One of the primary reasons to use a dedicated wash centre for reusable packaging and products is the expertise and training of the staff. This training ensures that staff members are well-versed in hygiene protocols and can handle the washing process with precision and care.
Certified wash centres are equipped with the necessary training and adherence to industry standards for packaging sanitation. This certification ensures compliance with hygiene and safety standards, offering assurance to both businesses and consumers. Wash centres follow guidelines to clean, sanitise, and render packaging ready for reuse, effectively mitigating the possibility of contamination.
Regular maintenance and inspection of the washing and drying machines are crucial to ensure they are working effectively. These machines are essential for ensuring that packaging is washed and dried thoroughly and efficiently. Routine checks and maintenance help prevent malfunctions and ensure that the machines operate at peak performance.
