Industrial Laundry Service in DFW

Industrial laundry is not restaurant laundry or hotel laundry. It's ground-in oil, hydraulic fluid, metal shavings, diesel, solvents, grease, and soil that regular commercial washers can't touch. Mix heavy-soil industrial textiles with light-soil accounts and you contaminate every load. Do it yourself and you burn out commercial equipment in two years.

What We Clean

What We Clean for Industrial Accounts

We handle every heavy-soil textile your operation uses:

Shop towels and cleaning rags

Red shop towels, white shop rags, absorbent wipes, oil-absorbent cloths, and industrial cleaning rags.

Industrial industry service

Dedicated Heavy-Soil Wash Lanes

The biggest difference between industrial laundry and general commercial laundry is separation. Heavy-soil industrial textiles can't be processed on the same wash lanes as restaurant napkins or hotel linens. The oil, solvent, and metal particulate contamination ruins other accounts' inventory.

Here's how we handle industrial soil:

Dedicated industrial wash lanes

Industrial accounts run on separate equipment from hospitality, medical, and light-commercial accounts. Your coveralls never touch another industry's linens, and no other industry's residue ends up on your textiles.

Multi-stage pre-treatment

Heavy-soil textiles go through a pre-wash cycle with industrial degreasers before the main wash. Motor oil, hydraulic fluid, machine oil, and petroleum-based soil get broken down in dedicated pre-treatment.

High-temperature wash with heavy-duty detergents

Industrial wash cycles run at 160°F and above with commercial-grade detergents formulated for heavy organic and inorganic soil. Standard laundry detergents can't cut through industrial contamination.

Metal particulate filtration

Our industrial wash lanes include particulate filtration so metal shavings, grit, and machine debris don't recirculate through the wash water or embed back into your textiles.

Solvent and odor neutralization

Diesel, solvent, and chemical odors get neutralized in the wash cycle with commercial deodorizers. Your textiles come back fresh, not carrying last shift's smells.

Shop Towel Service

Shop towels are a consumable for most industrial operations, but they don't have to be. Most DFW shops go through 300-500 shop towels per week, throwing out towels that could be cleaned and reused for months. Disposable towel programs cost $0.25-$0.45 per towel. Our cleaning service runs closer to $0.08-$0.12 per towel per cleaning cycle.

Here's what we handle for shop towel accounts:

1

Volume cleaning

We process hundreds to thousands of shop towels per account per week. No limits on volume.

2

Heavy-soil cycle

Shop towels soaked with motor oil, grease, solvents, and machine oil go through the industrial pre-treatment cycle. They come back absorbent and ready for another shift.

3

Consistent returns

You send dirty, you get the same count back clean. Account-specific sorting means your towels come back to you, not mixed with another shop's inventory.

4

Branded towel programs

If you use branded shop towels or custom-color towels for your operation, we preserve your inventory and return it as-is.

FR Clothing and Safety Apparel

Flame-resistant (FR) clothing and arc-rated garments require specific cleaning protocols. The wrong detergent, fabric softener, or chlorine bleach can compromise FR ratings and put your crew at risk on the job site.

Here's how we handle FR:

FR-compliant detergents

We use detergents approved for FR clothing care. No chlorine bleach, no fabric softener, no surfactants that degrade FR treatments.

Temperature-controlled cycles

FR garments get modified wash and dry cycles to preserve fabric integrity and FR ratings across repeated wash cycles.

Separate processing

FR clothing gets processed separately from standard industrial uniforms to prevent contamination from non-FR garments.

Rating preservation documentation

We can provide documentation of our FR care protocols for OSHA compliance files and safety audits.

Minimums depend on your location and service frequency, but most commercial accounts start with a practical weekly volume that fits their operation. We will recommend a starting point during your quote—there is no one-size-fits-all requirement.
