UK dairy farms are moving away from disposable udder wipes and making significant financial savings by using re-usable wipes and laundering them in-house.  This represents an environmentally friendly solution that eliminates waste and streamlines the process. However, it is essential that the appropriate commercial laundry equipment is employed in order to maintain stringent hygiene standards. 

Our Miele commercial washers and dryers are robust and durable enough to handle the requisite high through-put of a busy dairy farm whilst providing sluice and thermal disinfection for infection control.  Highly programmable and user friendly, our machines can be set to retain residual moisture levels for the point of use.  To complement our industrial laundry equipment we provide a range of auto-dosing equipment, as well as on-going detergent provision.

The emergency services have very unique laundry requirements and uniforms need to be kept in pristine condition despite the challenging working conditions. An on-site laundry facility allows for the necessary re-proofing and ensures that delicate items are processed appropriately.

Our commercial laundry equipment is highly programmable, extremely durable and built to meet the most stringent hygiene requirements. 

Forbes Professional provides a wide range of commercial laundry machines, auto-dosing equipment and chemical detergents to equestrian and animal centres.  

For a livery, cattery or kennels or dog grooming business, keeping animal blankets, rugs and bedding clean and free from disease is of paramount importance. Domestic machines simply cannot provide the disinfection cycles or wash capacity that is required within an animal care setting. Our range of commercial laundry solutions for pet care operations ranges from small, stackable units to large capacity Miele commercial washers and dryers. Equestrian laundry is a very specialist area that necessitates commercial washing machines that can handle large horse rugs as well as saddlecloths, girths and halters. As with all animal care laundry, it also raises the issue of animal hair and mud. As a result, some commercial laundries are unable to accept this type of equestrian equipment.

Laundering in-house can deliver can give back financial and logistical control to the animal centre, but it is essential to make the right procurement decisions. The efficient processing of saddle covers, blankets and sweat rugs is key to reducing the risk of skin infections such as equine fungal conditions, and immaculately sanitised equestrian textiles are essential for creating the right impression at competitions. Our Miele professional machines are heavy-duty, durable and robust enough to handle the laundry generated in any animal care environment.  With industry-specific functionality and programmes to rid animal blankets, bedding and other equipment from hair and bacteria,  our commercial washing machines and tumble dryers deliver an optimum clean whilst being highly energy and water-efficient.
