How NYC Hotels and Care Facilities Can Reduce Rewash Rates and Save Thousands

Rewashing is one of the most expensive hidden problems in commercial laundry.

In NYC hotels, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and rehabilitation centers, rewashing linens leads to:

• Higher labor costs
• Increased utility bills
• Excess chemical usage
• Faster linen wear
• Slower turnaround times

And many facilities don’t even realize how much it’s costing them.

At Sani Wash, we help facilities reduce rewash rates by optimizing:
➡️ Chemistry
➡️ Workflow
➡️ Equipment performance
➡️ Staff processes

➡️ The Real Cost of Rewashing

Every rewash cycle means:

• Washing the same linen twice
• Drying it twice
• Handling it twice
• Folding it twice

That means:
➡️ Double labor
➡️ Double water usage
➡️ Double energy consumption

Across thousands of pounds of laundry, costs add up quickly.

➡️ The Most Common Causes of Rewash

1️⃣ Incorrect Chemical Usage

Too much or too little detergent causes:

• Poor stain removal
• Residue buildup
• Inconsistent results

2️⃣ Poor Wash Formula Design

Improper:

• Cycle length
• Water temperature
• Rinse stages

Can leave linens looking or smelling unclean.

3️⃣ Overloaded Machines

Overloading prevents:

• Proper water circulation
• Effective chemical distribution
• Thorough rinsing

4️⃣ Hard Water Issues

Mineral buildup can:

• Reduce detergent effectiveness
• Trap soils in fabric
• Cause dingy linens

5️⃣ Poor Stain Treatment Procedures

Without proper pre-treatment:

• Stains set permanently
• Linens require multiple washes
