‘If Australian laundries stop, Australia stops’
In a recent submission to Federal Parliament with the aforementioned title, the Laundry Association of Australia noted that ‘without the work of professional laundries, Australian hospitals, hotels, aged care and other sectors, literally could not remain operational.’
Efficient linen management, for instance, can significantly impact hotel operations. A shortage of fresh linen can delay room turnover, affecting occupancy and customer satisfaction. Maintaining proper inventory levels can also extend linen life by 20-30%, enhancing operational efficiency and cost management.
As a key player in the industry, CLS is an essential service provider to Queensland’s largest economic sectors, ensuring everything from tablecloths and napkins in restaurants, bed sheets in hospitals and aged-care facilities, towels in hotels, and uniforms in mining towns remain clean and functional.
Through times of hardship such as floods and ongoing cost of living pressures, CLS plays a vital role in keeping businesses open, Queenslanders employed, and the economy moving.
