HISTORY
Garden Route Laundry was the first commercial laundry in the Southern Cape
Garden Route Laundry was the first commercial laundry in the Southern Cape that fully complied with the SABS – SANS10146 standards & procedures (SABS – SANS10146 has been designed to eliminate any cross infection between linen and garments). Considering the Health and Safety aspects of infection control we make it our first priority to adhere to strict processes and linen management as prescribed by SABS – SANS 10146 and HACCP.
Garden Route Laundry was originally known as George Laundry Centre and underwent a change of ownership and name to Garden Route Laundry in 2012. Matthew Luckman breathed new vibrant, youthful life into a company that has, for more than three decades now, serviced some of the Garden Route’s most prestigious establishments. The laundering market within the Garden Route was in dire need of a professional laundry service with a trustworthy reputation which conducts business in an ethical manner. With this knowledge we made it our mission to identify the Garden Route’s clientele needs and so quickly became the preferred Industrial Laundry in the Western Cape.
