Vischpa Textilreinigung AG: Five ladies bet on Schulthess!
Spruce, fresh-smelling laundry with wetClean
Suitable for extreme situations
Christine Albrecht has been familiar with Schulthess appliances for a long time; she has a Schulthess eMotion washing machine at home. She first came into contact with Schulthess commercial machines and wetClean in autumn 2012 and her interest was immediately aroused. The young entrepreneurs definitely wanted to wash in an environmentally friendly and energy-efficient way, but they would not have believed at the time that the results would be so convincing. ‘When we visited an existing wetClean operation, we knew there was nothing else for us: It smelt like fresh laundry and not like chemicals,’ she says enthusiastically. Schulthess machines clean gently with water and EU-certified soaps, which are excellent dirt removers. This also pleases allergy sufferers, because where no aggressive agents are used, none of them remain in the clothes and odours are also eliminated deep into the fibres. By the way, the fabrics are protected and cared for and their life is extended.
Today, vischpa Textilreinigung AG has two washing machines, a Spirit industrial WSI 100 and a Spirit industrial WSI 200, and a Spirit proLine TRI 9550 dryer: ‘The incredibly easy programme selection, individualised for all needs, makes washing even easier,’ she says. The latest acquisition is a Schulthess impregnation tank. This can be used to make demanding fabrics impervious to water again. A wise investment in a place like Visp, where all the skiers from the surrounding ski regions like Zermatt, Saas-Fee, Goms, etc., meet at some point. The special programmes also solve these requirements extremely reliably and in an energy-efficient way: ‘The first electricity bill came as a nice surprise. We expected to double our energy consumption or, to put it another way, we’re saving up to 50% energy and therefore money,’ says Christine Albrecht, delighted.
