Garment Care

As laundry professionals we often get questions from people on how to care for their garments. The most important advice that we give to them is to direct them to the garment care tag. These tags provide the percentage of each raw material that the item is made of, the printed garment care instructions, and the textile care symbols that allow a laundry professional to quickly determine how best to care for the item.

Garment manufacturers provide these tags because they recognize that the laundering process can damage garments if they aren’t properly cared for. Improper laundering can lead to bleeding of fabric dyes, color fading, pilling of fabrics, or shrinkage to name a few, all of which can tragically shorten the life of a garment.  At Laundry Reimagined we launder your items using our proprietary system.   We pay close attention to garment care tags and we use them every day in caring for your garments. We air dry the garments that call for it. We use only low heat for tumble dried items. These practices require more time for items to dry but they require much less energy and are much easier on the garment and the environment.  Our gentle treatment of your items results in better quality laundry and longer garment life.

When you consider how much money you have invested in your wardrobe it certainly makes good economic sense for you to protect your investment by caring for it properly.  Our proprietary process allows us to consistently produce very high-quality laundry and make it available to you at an affordable cost.  Our main objective is to enrich your life by allowing you more time to live it. Treat yourself to our service and you’ll have a happier time on this planet!

Help for Aging Seniors

As seniors live out their golden years many are looking for ways to live independently in their homes for as long as they possibly can.  At some point the task of doing the laundry, which was once easily performed, becomes too rigorous for them to engage in safely.  The National Council on Aging reports that every 11 seconds, an older adult is treated in an emergency room for a fall.*    Seniors are particularly vulnerable to falls if they are living in a home in which the laundry appliances are not on the same floor as their bedroom.  This arrangement requires them to go up and down stairways with loads of laundry in their hands, at a time in their life when their reduced mobility increases the likelihood of a serious fall.

A serious fall can leave an older adult physically disabled and financially strained. Sometimes it is hard for our seniors to recognize that they need help when they have done their own laundry for so many years.  Some may see laundry service as an unnecessary expense. However, the personal and financial costs of a serious fall far exceed the cost of laundry service.

At Laundry Reimagined we are proud to serve our elderly clients who are living independently in their homes.  Our laundry service allows them to get their laundry done in a safe and cost-effective manner and help extend the time that they can live independently in their homes.

After doing laundry for all of their life, shouldn’t there be a time when seniors are able to retire from the task of doing laundry? We think it makes a lot of sense to get our seniors the help they need. We at Laundry Reimagined understand the needs of our seniors and are happy to provide the service they need to live out their golden years in style!
