Manchester, NH – June 3, 2015 – Xeros, the innovator of an ultra-low water laundry system, announced today that it is helping five California-based businesses reduce water usage by up to 80% in their laundry operations. To put this in context, laundry operations in hotels represent 20% of their overall water usage. The California Althletic Club, Stanford Park Hotel, Quality Inn Petaluma, Fairfield Inn Sebastopol, and Hilton Universal are all using the Xeros® polymer bead laundry systems. Xeros has also signed eight pioneering commercial laundry equipment distributors in California. These pioneering flagship partners are now selling, installing and servicing Xeros’ near-waterless laundry systems.
In addition to the significant water savings, California-based businesses may be eligible for financial incentives from Liberty Utilities and Pacific Gas and Electric Company subject to qualification criteria established by the utility company. The program awards financial incentives under the Federal Energy Management Program’s Energy Incentive Program after specific pre-determined energy savings milestones are met.
The Xeros laundry system uses polymer bead technology to provide superior cleaning results as compared to conventional aqueous washing methods. By combining the beads’ molecular structure with a proprietary detergent solution, dirt from soiled items is attracted and absorbed by the beads, producing cleaner results. The reusable beads have a lifespan of hundreds of washes before being collected and recycled for reintroduction into the polymer supply chain. The patented, award-winning system uses 80% less water, up to 50% less energy, and approximately 50% less detergent than traditional systems.
