On August 9, we celebrate International Laundry and Textile Service Day!
Infinite Laundry has teamed up with TRSA to promote International Linen & Uniform Service Day (ILUD) on August 9th. This day is celebrated by professionals in the textile service industry all over the world.
On August 9, the very first electrically powered washing machine was patented
On August 9, 1910, “Thor”, the very first electric washing machine, was patented by Alva J. Fisher. This marked a turning point for use worldwide. Since then, laundry and textile services have become invaluable pieces of the puzzle in logistics chains worldwide.
Make the industry visible
The idea of ILUD is to draw attention to the profession, the people and the place that textile service has in our global society, and in this way make customers appreciate and demand our services. As well as expanding their use with additional hygienically clean and reusable textile solutions for the future. Coral Undzis, social media director at Infinite Laundry, conceptualized ILUD.
“It’s time we celebrate our industry’s work with and recognize the ‘heroes-behind-the-heroes’ for their important work throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond,” said Undzis.
Many thanks to our friends at Infinite Laundry – Steve, Jeff and Mitchell. Read more at infinitelaundry.com
