Maayan operates a recurring weekly laundry program for a medical manufacturing company in northern Israel, handling approximately 200 ESD cleanroom garments per cycle.
The service was built around the garment type, care requirements and the client’s QA requirements, with a repeatable process covering receiving and sorting, laundering and drying according to specification, handling of exceptions, final sorting and preparation for return.
This case study shows how an ESD garment laundry service can become part of a manufacturer’s recurring operational routine rather than remain a series of isolated laundry orders.

Laundry for an organized travel program becomes a logistics operation when hundreds of participants, multiple groups, fixed collection times and strict return deadlines are involved.
At that scale, washing is only one part of the service.
Selecting a laundry provider for ESD garments should not begin with one question:
“What is your price per garment?”
Price matters, but an ESD garment program can also involve manufacturer care instructions, static-control requirements, weekly garment availability, sorting, packing, exception handling, QA procedures and business continuity.
A supplier that can wash a garment once is not necessarily a supplier that can operate a reliable garment program every week.
For Operations, Procurement, QA and ESD teams, the better question is:
Can this supplier repeatedly process and return our garments according to the requirements of our factory?
This checklist is designed to help manufacturers evaluate that question before approving a laundry provider, launching a pilot or moving a recurring garment program from one supplier to another.
The objective is not to determine whether a laundry provider is “good” or “bad” in general.
The objective is to determine whether the supplier is suitable for your specific garment program.
The evaluation should consider four areas:
Can the supplier process the actual garments according to manufacturer and factory requirements?
Can the supplier reproduce an agreed washing, drying, sorting and packing process?
Can enough garments be returned on time every service cycle?
Are responsibilities for garment inspection, electrical verification, exceptions and documentation clearly defined?
A supplier qualification should address all four.
Do not begin supplier qualification with the generic description:
“We have ESD coats.”
Collect the actual garment information.
For each garment model, identify where possible:
manufacturer
model
fabric composition
garment construction
conductive or dissipative components
care label
permitted wash temperature
permitted drying conditions
prohibited chemicals
restrictions on bleach
restrictions on fabric softeners
recommended garment life or laundering limitations, if specified
relevant ESD characteristics
cleanroom requirements, if applicable
Different ESD garments may require different processes.
A supplier should therefore qualify the actual garment, not simply the category “ESD clothing”.
This distinction should be made early.
An ESD garment is used as part of an electrostatic-control program.
Its construction may include conductive or static-dissipative materials.
A cleanroom garment is used where contamination or particle control is part of the production environment.
Some facilities use garments that must satisfy requirements from both systems.
This distinction matters because:
ESD performance and cleanroom cleanliness are not the same requirement.
A laundry process suitable for an ESD garment does not automatically qualify as a specialized cleanroom decontamination or sterile process.
Likewise, a cleanroom garment process does not automatically prove that the garment continues to meet the electrical requirements of an ESD control program.
If both requirements exist, both must be defined during supplier qualification.
For additional information on controlled-environment garments:
Cleanroom Garment Laundry Service
This is one of the most important questions in ESD garment management.
Laundry is not automatically an electrical performance test.
IEC 61340-4-9:2024 provides test methods for evaluating the electrical resistance of garments containing conductive or static-dissipative components used for electrostatic-discharge control.
ANSI/ESD STM2.1 is technically equivalent to IEC 61340-4-9.
If your ESD control program requires periodic verification of garments, define separately:
which test method is required
which garments are tested
test frequency
acceptance criteria
responsibility for testing
documentation requirements
rejection criteria
what happens when a garment fails
Do not leave this responsibility ambiguous.
A factory should know whether:
the laundry supplier washes only
or whether:
laundering and electrical verification are provided through a separately defined arrangement.
Those are different services.
Ask the supplier how a process is selected for a new garment.
Good supplier qualification questions include:
Do you review manufacturer care instructions?
How is the wash temperature selected?
How is detergent selected?
Are chemical restrictions documented?
How are different garment models separated?
Can customer-specific instructions be incorporated?
How is a process changed if the garment manufacturer updates its instructions?
Who approves exceptions?
Be cautious if the answer is:
“We use the same ESD wash for everything.”
Different manufacturers and garment constructions may have different requirements.
The supplier should be able to explain how the process is connected to the garment specification.
Cleaning effectiveness is only one consideration.
The factory should also know whether the products and treatments used are compatible with the garment.
Ask:
Which detergent is used?
Is fabric softener used?
Is bleach used?
Are stain-removal chemicals used?
Are different chemicals used for exceptional items?
Are manufacturer restrictions reviewed?
Can a customer define prohibited chemicals?
For ESD garments, stronger treatment should not automatically be considered better treatment.
The objective is to clean the garment while staying within the approved maintenance requirements.
Industrial garment loads are rarely identical every week.
Some garments may arrive with:
food stains
body oils
collar contamination
biological stains
production-related contamination
unusual dirt
physical damage
A supplier qualification should establish what happens to these items.
Possible classifications include:
Processed according to the normal program.
Require additional treatment before the standard process.
Require inspection or customer approval before further processing.
Separated for review rather than automatically returned to use.
Ask the supplier:
How will we know when a garment did not follow the standard workflow?
Exception management should be part of the service specification.
Drying should be treated as part of garment processing, not merely the final machine cycle.
There are two requirements that must work together.
Drying temperature and conditions must remain compatible with the garment specification.
A garment should not be packed while meaningful residual moisture remains.
Moisture inside a sealed bag, storage container, locker or garment-distribution system can create operational problems including:
unpleasant odor
microbial growth
damp garments reaching employees
in severe cases, mold
Ask:
What drying limitations are followed?
How does the supplier determine that garments are ready for packing?
What happens if a garment remains damp?
Are garments allowed to cool or finish drying before enclosed packing?
The objective is:
complete drying without unnecessarily exposing the garment to unsuitable conditions.
For a factory using hundreds of garments, sorting can become as important as washing.
Before approving the supplier, define:
how garments are received
whether garments are counted
how garment types are separated
whether sorting is required by size
whether sorting is required by employee
whether sorting is required by department
how exceptional garments are identified
how lost or unidentified garments are handled
The correct sorting method depends on the customer's internal garment-distribution system.
Possible structures include:
By garment type
By size
By employee
By department
By production area
The supplier should return garments in a format that reduces additional work at the factory.
Packing should also be defined before routine service begins.
Ask whether the factory requires:
bulk packing
packing by size
packing by department
grouped packing
individual garment packing
identification labels
preparation for garment lockers
preparation for automated garment-distribution systems
A good laundry process can still create problems if hundreds of clean garments return in a format that the factory cannot efficiently distribute.
The return format should be part of supplier qualification.
Do not qualify a supplier only on the volume handled during the first pilot.
Ask:
Can the supplier handle our normal weekly quantity repeatedly?
Then ask the more important question:
What happens if our volume increases?
Define:
normal garments per week
expected seasonal variation
maximum likely volume
emergency demand
available garment inventory
required turnaround
frequency of collection
For example, a factory processing 500 garments weekly should not qualify a supplier based only on a successful test involving 20 garments.
A small pilot can prove process compatibility.
It does not automatically prove full operational capacity.
Capacity should be evaluated separately.
Recurring industrial laundry is a logistics system.
A typical weekly cycle may look like:
Clean garments returned → used garments collected → processing → sorting and packing → next return
The supplier should understand:
collection day
collection time
return day
turnaround expectations
factory receiving hours
holidays
shutdowns
emergency changes
communication procedures
For Operations, predictable logistics can be just as important as wash quality.
Business continuity should be part of supplier qualification.
Ask:
What happens if volume increases 25%?
What happens if it doubles?
Is extra processing capacity available?
Can additional collection be arranged?
What happens if normal transportation is disrupted?
How are customers prioritized during periods of unusual demand?
Industrial environments are not always predictable.
Production can increase.
Staffing can change.
Emergency conditions can affect garment consumption.
A recurring supplier should have an answer for situations outside the normal weekly cycle.
A supplier qualification should make responsibilities clear.
Questions for QA may include:
Who approves the process?
Who controls garment specifications?
Who approves changes?
How are nonconforming garments handled?
What records are required?
What is the rejection process?
Who communicates exceptions?
Are manufacturer instructions retained?
Are customer-specific work instructions used?
How often should the program be reviewed?
The objective is not unnecessary paperwork.
The objective is to prevent situations where responsibility becomes unclear after a problem occurs.
Once a recurring program is working, changes should not happen casually.
Examples include:
new garment model
new fabric
manufacturer change
new detergent
altered washing temperature
different packing method
new stain treatment
new production department
increased quantity
changed ESD requirements
Ask:
What happens when something in the approved process changes?
Depending on the importance of the change, it may require:
document review
QA approval
new pilot
new garment testing
updated process instructions
Documentation requirements should match the risk and operating environment.
Possible records include:
garment specification
care instructions
agreed laundry procedure
service schedule
packing specification
exception procedure
supplier contact
pilot results
electrical verification records, where required
QA approval
A supplier should not invent unnecessary documentation simply to look sophisticated.
But when documentation is important to the customer, it should be clearly defined before service begins.
A simple internal scorecard can make supplier comparisons more objective.
| Qualification Area | Suggested Weight |
|---|---|
| Garment/specification understanding | 15 |
| Washing-process compatibility | 10 |
| Drying process | 10 |
| Sorting and packing capability | 10 |
| Weekly capacity | 15 |
| Collection and return logistics | 10 |
| QA/process discipline | 10 |
| Exception handling | 5 |
| Business continuity | 10 |
| Pilot capability | 5 |
| Total | 100 |
The weighting should be adjusted to your factory.
For example, a facility with highly complex employee-specific sorting may increase the importance of garment identification and sorting.
A facility with limited garment inventory may assign a higher weight to turnaround and business continuity.
Before approving a supplier, consider asking:
Do you review the actual garment model before routine service begins?
Do you work according to manufacturer care instructions?
How do you select washing temperature?
How do you select detergent?
How do you manage chemical restrictions?
How do you handle difficult stains?
What happens to damaged garments?
How do you ensure garments are dry before packing?
Can you sort by size?
Can you sort by employee or department?
Can garments be individually packed if required?
How are exceptional garments identified?
What weekly quantity can you support?
What happens if our quantity increases unexpectedly?
What is the collection and return cycle?
Can you work according to a customer QA procedure?
How are process changes approved?
Do you provide electrical garment verification, or is that a separate responsibility?
Can we begin with a pilot?
Can you operate as a backup supplier before we move the full program?
If the supplier cannot clearly answer these questions, the factory may not yet have enough information to approve a recurring program.
Several answers should trigger additional questions.
Not necessarily.
Manufacturer and garment requirements should be reviewed.
That may conflict with garment-care requirements.
The relevant question is whether garments are appropriately dried before packing.
Ask exactly what test is being performed, according to which method, by whom and with what acceptance criteria.
Laundry and electrical verification are separate activities.
Ask for evidence of recurring operational capacity.
For a large or technically sensitive garment program, a pilot can reduce risk for both parties.
A pilot should be small enough to control but large enough to produce useful information.
Before starting, define:
Which exact garment will be evaluated?
How many items will enter the pilot?
Which laundering and drying requirements apply?
How should garments return?
How should processed garments be packed?
When are garments collected and returned?
What happens to stained or damaged garments?
What will the customer inspect?
If required, when and how will garment performance be tested?
What must happen for the pilot to be considered successful?
After several defined service cycles, Operations and QA can review the result before expanding the program.
The first cycle can confirm that a process is technically possible.
A recurring supplier must prove something more:
repeatability.
A better evaluation may include several cycles so the customer can see:
whether timing remains consistent
whether sorting remains accurate
whether packing remains consistent
whether communication works
how exceptions are handled
whether the process is stable from week to week
A supplier program becomes valuable when it stops depending on improvisation.
Not necessarily.
A manufacturer can qualify another laundry provider as a backup supplier before changing the primary supplier.
This may be useful when:
the existing provider has limited spare capacity
the factory requires business continuity
production volumes are increasing
another geographic route is needed
one garment group requires different handling
management wants an approved alternative available
The new supplier can first demonstrate performance on a limited program.
The customer can then decide whether to:
keep the supplier as backup
split volume
transfer a specific garment category
gradually expand the program
move the full service
Supplier qualification does not have to be an all-or-nothing decision.
When evaluating a laundry provider, ask for evidence of recurring operations.
Useful evidence may include:
years of recurring service
typical weekly volumes
examples of sorting complexity
experience with customer-specific procedures
experience operating with QA requirements
examples of handling increased demand
pilot methodology
recurring collection and delivery experience
A supplier does not necessarily need to disclose confidential customer names.
Operational evidence can still demonstrate whether the company has experience managing recurring industrial programs.
For a detailed example:
Industrial Garment Laundry Case Study – Recurring Weekly Service
At Maayan, we prefer not to begin a new ESD garment program by asking a factory to move its entire garment inventory immediately.
The first step is usually to understand:
the garment
manufacturer instructions
weekly quantity
factory location
sorting requirements
packing requirements
QA requirements
ESD requirements
current service cycle
If there is a potential fit, the next stage can be a defined pilot or backup-supplier evaluation.
The objective is to determine whether a repeatable operational process can be built before expanding the relationship.
For details about the service itself:
ESD & Cleanroom Garment Laundry Service in Israel
Before approving a supplier, confirm that you can answer yes to the relevant questions:
The garment model has been identified.
Manufacturer care instructions have been reviewed.
Washing requirements have been defined.
Chemical restrictions have been defined.
Drying requirements have been defined.
Stain and exception handling has been agreed.
Sorting requirements are clear.
Packing requirements are clear.
Weekly capacity has been reviewed.
Collection and return timing is defined.
QA responsibilities are clear.
Electrical verification responsibilities are clear.
Change-control expectations are understood.
Business-continuity expectations have been discussed.
Pilot success criteria are defined.
If several of these items remain unclear, the program may not yet be ready for full implementation.
If you are currently reviewing an ESD laundry provider, changing suppliers or qualifying a backup supplier, you can use this checklist internally with Operations, Procurement and QA before requesting a full proposal.
If you would like Maayan to review whether your garment program may be suitable for our service, send:
garment model or photograph
manufacturer care instructions
approximate weekly quantity
factory location
sorting and packing requirements
relevant QA or ESD requirements
We can review the initial service fit and, where appropriate, define a controlled pilot before discussing a full recurring program.

Industrial laundry is not primarily a washing problem.
It is an operational continuity problem.

Organizing a tour, delegation, educational program, camp or large group traveling through Israel?
Laundry becomes a very different operation when you are responsible for 50, 100, 200 or even 400 participants moving between hotels, hostels, kibbutzim and destinations on a fixed itinerary.
You do not need dozens of participants looking for washing machines.
You need one organized operational solution.
Maayan provides large-group laundry service throughout Israel for organized groups of 50 participants or more, including pickup, washing, drying, folding, sorting and scheduled delivery.
Our laundry facility is based in northern Israel, but our logistics are not limited to the north.
Depending on the project, route, volume and timetable, we can:
Pick up in northern Israel and deliver later in central or southern Israel.
Or:
Pick up in Jerusalem, central Israel or southern Israel, process the laundry at our facility, and return it later in the north, center or south.
The pickup point and delivery point do not have to be the same.
The group can keep moving. The laundry moves separately and meets the group again at the agreed destination.
