Quality, flexible equipment is non-negotiable for sports teams 

Every laundry operation faces a unique set of challenges. While it might be easy to look at a laundry serving a sports team as the simplest of all operations – just a lot of towels – the reality is quite different.  

Whether it is a pro sports team or the local high school squad, every player’s uniform is a representation of the school, franchise, or club reputation. So, anything less than impeccable finished quality is not an option under the bright lights of sports fields, arenas, and gyms. That quality, however, is no small feat. Uniforms, particularly those seen in professional sports, can be made of many quite different fabrics. Add into the equation the complex mix of stains ranging from blood, field paint, dirt (of varying types), grass, and more, and the laundry challenges stack up. 

This is why programmable controls are necessary to tailor wash cycles to specific fabric types and soil (soil level). In addition, sorting loads by soil level also helps ensure pieces get the proper formula. Equally important is working with your chemical company representative to dial in the proper chemical dosages and wash formulas. 

All this adds up to a tall order for locker room staff and is why many look to UniMac to deliver exceptional quality. To see what a day in the life of these professionals with the Toronto Raptors looks like, click here (sharp-eyed viewers will see UniMac equipment).
