Xeros combines digital and polymer technologies into a proven new add-on offering of Xeros Sbeadycare to maximize the life of hotel linens
Manchester, NH & Sheffield, UK – April 4, 2016 – Xeros, the innovator of an ultra-low water laundry system, announced today Xeros Sbeadycare XTEND, a new commercial laundry linen management solution for hotels that has been proven to extend the life of linens and in turn, lowers linen replacement costs as compared with traditional aqueous based washing. Sbeadycare XTEND is a first of its kind product for the laundry industry combining physical and digital technologies into a comprehensive “phygital” solution that utilizes smart, connected washing machines, responsive cleaning programs, and new polymers designed to offer the most gentle and effective cleaning system available.
Xeros Sbeadycare XTEND will enhance the performance of the Xeros washing system that is currently saving customers millions of gallons of water. See today’s related announcement “Hotels save More than 1 Million Gallons of Water with the Xeros Laundry System.”
Xeros customers can choose to seamlessly upgrade their current Xeros System reinforcing the continued and growing benefits of Xeros’ innovative and unique comprehensive business model that focuses on customer-centric support and polymer science to solve the changing challenges facing our world and the commercial laundry industry.
With XTEND, hotel laundries no longer have to choose between cleaning performance or a gentler, less effective wash. Xeros Sbeadycare XTEND works in three ways:
Gentler Cleaning – Linens washed with XTEND are not subjected to excessive mechanical action, harsh chemicals, and hot water–which stress linen fibers and reduce their lifetime–found in traditional washing methods. XTEND leverages polymer bead cleaning that uses predominantly ambient water and proprietary soil removal methods leaving linens cleaner with less negative impact to the integrity of the linens.
Stained Linen Recovery – In recent tests, the Xeros reclaim program achieved more than 50% linen recovery rate when compared with traditional processes. Traditional reclaim processes typically use harsh chemicals and aggressive washing. XTEND offers the gentlest yet most powerful reclaim process available by combining next-generation polymer beads, sophisticated digital programming, and targeted chemistry to remove the widest possible range of stains. XTEND removes tough stains more effectively and at a significantly higher success rate while still being gentle on the linens.
Cloud-Based Monitoring and Measuring – The Xeros Sbeadycare XTEND solution monitors and controls the entire laundry process to ensure each step is optimized to deliver superior yet gentle cleaning performance.
