We’re going to need a bigger laundry …

squeeky commercial linin and laundry in wiltshire

Well we’ve only gone and done it. Squeeky Linen and Laundry Services (and Squeeky Cleaners) have now moved to a new much bigger site (still in Chippenham though).

Madly done in August 2021 during our busiest time ever post lockdown!!. Wanted to do it sooner, but just couldn’t get the new site lined up any earlier.

Now settled in and fully operational with or old equipment and some new toys to increase capacity. A new 3.2m full length folder iron, 60Kg Washer and 60Kg Dryer.

Actively looking for new customers now to make use of the capacity. So if you are in need of professional local commercial linen and laundry services for your hotel, B&B, air B&B or restaurant then why not give us a call.

(we also do cleaning and changeovers for B&Bs, so can provide a one stop shop.)

Van Livery

Our van finally has its new livery. Looking very smart and a great advert for us Squeekies as it drives around the area

Feel free to wave if you see it going by, and give us a call if you are interested in any of our services. Cleaning, Laundry or products in the shop.

Sign of the Times

Our new sign board has finally gone up, giving our offices in Chippenham a bit more bling, and helping customers find us!.

Here you can see Gareth, our Laundry delivery driver/logistics manager/Amazon web shop administrator (we all have many hats here at the Squeekies) putting it up.

Note the clever use of the laundry service delivery van tail gate!

Gigabit Switch

Squeeky IT here, commandeering the blog today to give you a break from laundry machines and tell you about something more exciting… our new Smart Gigabit Switch!

As our laundry expands our IT network must as-well, so we’ve got ourselves a new Smart Gigabit Switch. Prior to this we were running our office PCs and IP phones through an unmanaged 100Mb Switch, so this will now allow us to separate out the phones and speed things up the on the network, especially access to the NAS drive which we use for all files. Woohoo!

We’re going to need a bigger iron …

3.2m commercial roller iron

Ironing was still a bottleneck after our last purchase, so it was time to go large and get a bigger roller iron.

Here’s our new 3.2m Electrolux roller iron, installed and ready to go. You can see the size difference to its smaller sibling next to it.

The big advantage with this is that large king size or greater sheets and duvet covers do not need to be folded to go through, unlike the smaller version. When large duvet covers are folded they also often needed to go through twice, to do both sides, which is not needed now.

Already making a big impact on ironing throughput.

Linen delivery

More and more customers coming on-line here at Squeeky Linen and Laundry Services. This is the latest delivery of new linen for one of our new customers.

All got to be unpacked, washed and packed ready for the first delivery.

If you are interested in our linen hire services see ore details here.

Commercial Laundry Water Softer and Boiler

To Improve efficiency, reduce cycle times and reduce energy usage we have now fitted a Commercial Laundry Water Softer and boiler.

This means the washing machines use less energy as they don’t have to heat up water. It’s provided from the boiler instead which does it more efficiently, thus reducing overall energy usage. Cycle times in the machines are also shorter allowing more throughput.

The Softener means less water, detergents and chemicals are needed, especially as we are in a very hard water area.

Along with our solar panels this helps our ongoing quest to be more energy efficient and eco friendly.

Full Steam Ahead …

A busy day in the commercial laundry today so all washing machines and dryers turning, that’s what we like to see.

We still need more capacity for yet more customers though, so the engineers are in fitting this new washing machine. There’s a new dryer on the way as well.

New Roller iron

To increase capacity in our linen and laundry service we needed another roller iron. So here it is installed and ready to go.

It’s an Electrolux 2 meter roller iron, brand new. The teams are getting up to speed on it now.

Will allow much more daily throughput as ironing was becoming a bottleneck.
