Commercial Print Towel Rental and Laundering Service

Printing equipment demands more from a wiping towel than ordinary cleanup does. Inks, solvents and other materials need to be removed effectively without introducing excessive lint or contaminants that could interfere with sensitive presses, plates and other production equipment.

Clean Uniforms and More! provides specialized commercial print towel rental and laundering service for printing businesses throughout the Northeast. Our high-absorption, low-lint print towels are processed specifically for the graphics and printing industry, with dedicated procedures designed to reduce contamination and responsibly manage towels containing inks, solvents and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).

For printing companies, that means more than receiving clean towels. It means working with a commercial laundry that has made significant investments specifically around the environmental and processing challenges associated with print towels.

Low-Lint Print Towels for Sensitive Printing Equipment

Using the wrong towel around printing equipment can create problems of its own. Excessive lint and contaminants can be transferred onto plates, presses and other surfaces where cleanliness matters to both equipment performance and print quality.

Clean Uniforms and More! print towels are selected for high absorbency and low-lint performance. They are designed to absorb inks, solvents and spills while minimizing the amount of lint left behind during use.

The towels are also durable enough for repeated use and professional laundering, allowing them to remain part of a managed reusable towel program rather than relying exclusively on disposable wiping products.

Specialized Processing for the Printing Industry

Print towels require different handling from ordinary commercial towels. Towels returned from printing operations can contain inks, cleaning solvents and other substances that demand careful processing.

Clean Uniforms and More! launders print towels in separate batches under strict processing guidelines. Keeping these towels isolated helps minimize cross-contamination that could otherwise affect the towels and, ultimately, the printing equipment they are used to clean.

Print towel processing is handled at our own New Bedford, Massachusetts facility rather than outsourced. This gives Clean greater control over the laundering process and allows us to maintain specialized systems specifically designed for this type of industrial towel.

Advanced VOC Capture and Control Technology

Commercial print towels can contain solvents that release Volatile Organic Compounds during sorting, washing, drying and wastewater treatment. Managing those emissions responsibly requires more than a conventional commercial laundry process.

Clean Uniforms and More! has invested in two complementary systems at our New Bedford processing facility:

Advanced Membrane Capture System

Our wastewater treatment process uses membrane technology to capture VOCs from water generated during the laundering of print and furniture towels. This provides an additional level of treatment before wastewater leaves the facility.

Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer

Clean also operates a Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer, or RTO, that captures and treats VOC-containing air generated during the laundering process. The system is designed to remove at least 98.5% of the VOCs that pass through it.

Together, these systems allow Clean to address VOCs in both wastewater and air, creating a more comprehensive approach to the environmental challenges associated with laundering solvent-containing print towels.

A Print Towel Program Designed With Environmental Responsibility in Mind

Environmental requirements surrounding VOCs have become an increasingly important consideration for businesses that use solvent-containing towels. Clean Uniforms and More! has worked with environmental agencies and invested extensively in its processing operation to meet the requirements associated with laundering these specialized products.

Our Air Quality Plan received approval from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, and testing of the completed emissions-control system was observed by representatives of both MassDEP and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

At its current capacity, Clean’s New Bedford operation is approved to process virtually unlimited quantities of VOC-laden print and furniture towels within EPA Region 1.

For printing businesses evaluating a towel service provider, this means the laundering process itself can become part of a more responsible approach to managing solvent-containing reusable towels.

Why a Specialized Print Towel Service Matters

Print towels should not be treated like ordinary cleaning rags. Both the performance requirements of the towel and the materials collected during use make specialized handling important.

A Clean Uniforms and More! print towel program provides:

• High-absorption, low-lint print towels
• Towels designed for inks, solvents and related printing applications
• Separate-batch processing to help reduce contamination
• Professional laundering at Clean’s own processing facility
• Advanced air and wastewater VOC-control technology
• Durable reusable towels designed for repeated commercial use
• A towel program customized around your operation
• Dependable service from a regional, independently owned provider
• Support from a dedicated service representative

The goal is to provide your production team with the towels it needs while giving your business greater confidence in how those towels are handled after they leave your facility.
