MOVING TO IN-HOUSE LAUNDRY SAVES A$92,327* PER YEAR

HIGHLIGHTS• 47%* cheaper per year compared to outsourcing• 23%** reduction on Cost Per Occupied Room (CPOR)• Happier guests due to fluffier, brighter towels• Prolonged linen life, saving on replacement costs• Less than one year for a return on investment

CHALLENGEHigh outsource costs due to remote locationAfter outsourcing towels for many years, the DoubleTree by Hilton Sonoma decided to

take back control. The rural location of the hotel led to high processing costs and

inflexible turnaround times. The property also became frustrated with having to replace

towels and robes damaged by the harsh chemicals used in the mass cleaning process.

SOLUTIONQuality and control improvements with 47% cost savingsSwitching to a Xeros on-premise laundry has delivered cleaner, fluffier, and brighter towels and reduced costs substantially. The gentler fabric care has also prolonged towel and robe life meaning less money is spent on replacing damaged stock.

The management and housekeeping teams are both delighted with the Xeros system; the managers enjoy adding thousands of dollars to their bottom line and housekeepers admire that the system removes even the toughest of stains the first time.

REPLACES WATER WITH BEADS

Instead of using bathfuls of water for each laundry load, a Xeros machine uses millions of small polymer beads, reducing water use by up to 80% per load.

The beads are added to the drum to provide mechanical action and to attract and absorb stains, leading to a superior clean. To minimize environmental impact, the beads are reusable, lasting for hundreds of washes.

REDUCES ENERGY USE

A substantial cost of operating an in-house laundry is the energy used to heat the water. The advantage of the Xeros machine over traditional machines is twofold:

• It uses less water, so there is less liquid to heat

• It gets fabrics clean at lower temperatures,reducing the need to heat the water

USES LESS DETERGENT

The Xeros system uses a proprietary detergent formula that takes full advantage of the unique cleaning properties of the Xeros polymer beads. With this unique combination of beads and detergent, a Xeros machine washes fabrics with up to half the chemicals, which results in savings and less effluent from any given wash cycle.
