MANCHESTER, N.H.—Xeros Ltd., the U.K. company responsible for the development of “virtually waterless” laundry cleaning, has set its sights on the North American commercial laundry industry, starting in New England. On August 20, 2012 the Xeros system was installed at Manchester, New Hampshire’s Sterling Linen Services, a high-quality linen processing and rental service for area hotels, hospitals and restaurants.
Best known for its environmentally-friendly polymer bead cleaning system, Xeros’ technology uses a fraction of the water, energy and detergent required for conventional cleaning methods, and provides significant cost-saving and environmental benefits. These benefits include using up to 90 percent less water than traditional washing machines; consuming approximately 50 percent less chemicals than traditional methods; and reducing energy use up to 50 percent.
Through the use of polymer bead technology, this cleaning process has been proven more effective than traditional “soap and water” methods. By combining the beads’ molecular structure with a proprietary detergent solution, the result is a superior cleaning medium that beats even water. The dirt from soiled items is attracted and absorbed by the beads, producing cleaner results than aqueous washing methods.
“Our scientific breakthrough in the U.K. combined with forward-thinking U.S. entrepreneurs is a great example of how our two countries can come together to lessen laundry’s carbon footprint,” said Bill Westwater, CEO of Xeros Ltd.
