Why First Garment Rental?

WE DO IT ALL

From design and manufacture to laundering, maintaining and repairing of garments, your business will never have to worry about clean work wear again. Our garments range from top-quality overalls to highly specialised items in a wide range of styles and colours. We can even customise garments to include name badges, company logos (embroidery and heat seal), badges and reflector tape, plus we offer personal assessments and tailor-made uniforms to suit each individual.

WE OFFER A SEAMLESS SYSTEM

With First Garment Rental, your work wear needs are our priority. Garments are collected weekly for laundering in our advanced laundry facilities. Each garment receives a final quality check and any necessary replacements or mending is done at no extra charge. Clean garments are returned to your door and a new load of soiled work wear is collected for the laundry. A client liaison is assigned to every customer to respond to their needs quickly and efficiently.

WE HAVE A BACK-UP PLAN

Back-up generators, compressors, boilers and water storage facilities help eliminate downtime in the event of unscheduled disruptions and breakdowns.

WE PRACTICE STRINGENT PROCESSES

Our vast range of PPE and specialised garments assist our customers in adhering to the various compliancy standards. Our laundries conform to stringent wash processes, which ensures the elimination of any bacterial infection and the possibility of re-contamination. Our wash process follows strict guidelines, therefore guaranteeing that your garments get washed at the correct temperatures to ensure thermal disinfection and steam dried at temperatures to destroy pathogens. Only approved chemicals and detergents are used in the laundering process to ensure optimum hygiene standards. We also perform regular swab tests and offer clean room facilities where required.

About RFID scanning

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a system that transmits the unique serial number of an object or a person via radio waves. RFID uses special tags which are heat sealed onto each garment and consequently, these tags transmit the unique serial number of each garment to tag readers. This system allows us to automate a number of key processes, including collecting, sorting and tracking garments. It’s very accurate, ensuring that garments are seldomly misplaced or assigned to the wrong person. It’s also very efficient and helps cut down on the time and labour needed to process a customer’s laundry.

Green Initiatives

First Garment Rental actively works on reducing our impact to the environment through an ongoing resource sustainability plan. We do this through the continuous monitoring and active improvement of water and power consumption, fuel regulation, chemical efficiencies and productivity.
