Current Challenges for Food and Beverage Laundry

Vegetable Oils

The ban of trans fats has ushered in the use of natural, unsaturated liquid vegetable oils, which are more difficult to clean from fabric.

Polyester

When it comes to food and beverage uniforms, spun polyester is the fabric of choice. This material dislikes the high temps of traditional food processing laundry cycles, making disinfection a challenge.

NPE Ban

Nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs) have been phased out of laundry detergents. The new chemistries need to be safer for people and the environment, and outperform the old technology.

Dramatically reduce oil stains on spun polyester linen with PolyVantage, Ecolab’s low-temperature, low-alkali sustainable detergent for food and beverage linen.
