The laundry process is one of the factors that assess the quality of laundry services and the credibility of the laundry unit. At Thai Tuan LMS, the laundry process is a one-way system that not only enhances washing efficiency but also prevents cross-contamination. Below are the detailed steps of the high-tech laundry process currently applied at Thai Tuan LMS.
High-Tech Laundry Process at Thai Tuan LMS
To avoid cross-contamination of linens, the washing process at Thai Tuan LMS operates as a one-way system, ensuring that the path of linens moves in one direction—from the dirty area to the clean area.
Diagram of the high-tech laundry process at Thai Tuan LMS:
1. Collection of dirty items and transportation to the factory
Dedicated vehicles for transporting dirty laundry at Thai Tuan LMS will collect and conduct a preliminary sorting of dirty laundry at the laundry unit. After this, items are transported back to the factory.
During the collection of dirty items, it is important to note:
- Adherence to safety regulations when lifting heavy items
- Dirty items must be placed in designated bags
- Do not drag or pull items on the floor; use suitable carts for transporting dirty items
- Ensure that clean items are isolated from dirty items to prevent contamination
- Observe traffic laws while transporting
2. Dirty Linens Sorting
After the transportation vehicle delivers the dirty laundry, it will be taken to the dirty laundry area of the factory for sorting. This step is crucial as it affects the choice of washing program, washing chemicals, temperature, washing time, and mechanical action used in the laundry process to achieve optimal washing effectiveness.
At Thai Tuan LMS, dirty linens sorting is based on the following criteria:
- Sort by item type: towels, sheets, bathrobes, pillowcases, etc.
- Sort by fabric type: each fabric has a suitable washing temperature; this step requires sorting by fabric type: linen, cotton, silk, etc.
Example:
Wool or silk items are only suitable for washing at low temperatures with neutral pH.
Cotton items can be washed at high temperatures but are susceptible to chemical effects if not handled carefully.
- Sort by the level of dirtiness and type of stain: different dirt levels require different handling methods. Common stains include inorganic and organic substances.
Inorganic stains include rust, pen marks, synthetic colors, paint, etc.
Organic stains include blood, mud, food stains, etc.
- Sort by color: white items are always washed separately to avoid color transfer.
- Sort by size of fabric items.
3. Washing
Based on the classified dirty fabric items, either tunnel washing machines or two-door washing machines and suitable washing programs will be selected to achieve the highest efficiency.
- Tunnel washing machines: used when there is a large volume of laundry, light stains, and fabrics without decorative materials.
- Two-door washing machines: used when the amount of laundry is small, lighter or smaller items, or heavily soiled items that have been pre-treated.
At Thai Tuan LMS, the machinery and equipment system is fully imported from Kannegiesser, Germany, including 4 tunnel washing machines and 8 two-door washing machines, with a washing capacity of up to 150 tons per day/night, ensuring all laundry needs of customers are met.

The main factors affecting washing efficiency have been researched by the R&D team at Thai Tuan to develop specific washing programs for different types of stains and fabrics.
- Temperature
- Chemicals
- Washing time
- Mechanical action
- Human factors
The combination of modern equipment and expertise ensures the best washing results.
4. Pressing and Drying
After washing, the items will be transferred to the pressing and drying machines. Depending on the type of linen, the pressing and drying program will be set with appropriate time settings to ensure that the linen does not become overly dry shrink, or get burned.
5. Quality Inspection
In this step, the QC team will check the quality of the linens based on the following criteria:
- Appearance of the finished fabric: whether it is torn or has color bleeding, and if the stains have been cleaned.
- Indicators: moisture content, brightness, pH level.
Note: If customers need to check for mold, microorganisms, or bacteria, these assessments must be conducted by a third-party unit and will incur additional costs.
Linens that pass the quality check will be sent for ironing and folded according to high-tech laundry procedures. Linens with defects will be sent to the repair area for adjustments. Linens still containing stains will be treated accordingly based on the extent of the staining.
6. Ironing
Linens that meet the quality requirements will be moved to the ironing area. This process uses high-temperature steam, which also helps in sterilization.
At Thai Tuan LMS, the ironing system is carried out through a high-tech and automated machinery line, thereby enhancing ironing efficiency and shortening the overall laundry process compared to manual methods.
7. Folding
Depending on the type of linen, the folding method will vary. After ironing and folding, the items will be checked for quantity and packaged manually according to the required specifications.
8. Linen Packaging
Depending on the specific customers, the packaging method will vary. Typically, the basic packaging for linen items is as follows:
- Bed covers and sheets (5 pieces per bundle)
- Bath towels (10 pieces per bundle)
- Bath mats (20 pieces per bundle)
- Hand towels, washcloths, and pillowcases (30 pieces per bundle)
9. Delivery to Customers
Once the high-tech laundry process is completed, and the linens have passed quality checks, a delivery vehicle will pick up the cleaned linens from the clean laundry area and deliver them to the customers, ensuring timely delivery, correct quantities, and quality.
