What our customers have to say....
"May I take this opportunity to congratulate you on your towels"
"May I take this opportunity to congratulate you on your towels. We last ordered from you in 2005 and they are only just getting to the stage where they need replacing. I can only say yes, you can buy towels for a lesser (not by much though) price, but in the long run your products would outlast anything else out there,and we can definately vouch for that, add to that, the reduction in laundering costs your towels are a bargain."
"We here at 'The Burleigh' would like to thank you and your staff for the friendly and helpfull service we have received and look forward to doing business with you again (in another six years!!!!)"

"Hartdean EcoKnit towels give us tremendous results in both laundering costs and customer feedback"
"We have been using 'EcoKnit' towels for 2 years now and have a full range in the 450GSM, 500GSM and the 550GSM"
"Over the past 2 years just by using these towels we have noticed tremendous results in both laundering costs and customer feedback. The laundering and purchase costs reduced greatly due to the greater usage of the towels as they can be washed and dried more often than a woven towel and very rarely, if at all, will get ragged, giving it a longer time span. EcoKnit towels are quick drying which saves energy, speeds up our production time and increases productivity"
"I would highly recommend these towels to other customers and will continue buying these towels from Hartdean"

"We estimate the drying time to be about half the time of our previous cotton towels"
"We have now had the new towels in use for about a month and have been extremely pleased with them. We have had absolutely no adverse comments from any of our clients and would estimate the drying time to be about half the time of our previous cotton towels."

" EcoKnit Towel Performs Exceptionally In Tests"
A Technical Assessment was carried out with JLA laundering systems to determine the Drying Characteristics of Commercially Available Towels and OTEX (OZONE Disinfection Laundering System). Two types of towels were assessed for comparison purposes:
Hartdean's EcoKnit Towel - 80% Cotton and 20% Polyester
Industry STD Woven Towel - 100% Cotton
OTEX System
The OTEX system developed by JLA incorporates the second strongest disinfectant called Ozone. This is introduced automatically into the water using patented interfusor technology allowing laundering to be carried out at much lower wash temperatures yet still providing superior disinfection. OTEX is currently installed in over 1500 sites.
Methodology
A standard cold OTEX wash cycle in a JLA HC100 10KG washing machine with and without the addition of ozonated water was used. Towels were dried at 140°F using a JLA T30 gas dryer.
| Towel Characteristics | OTEX Wash Cycle | Conventional Wash Cycle | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Knitted | Woven | Knitted | Woven | |
| % Moisture retained after laundering Time taken to dry (mins) |
51 25 |
60 34 |
55 30 |
66 43 |

Savings derived from using EcoKnit rather than Woven on OTEX system 26.5%

"More Than Double Life Span"
"I process 500,000 towels each week. 80% go to branded hotels, including Crown Plaza, Hotel Inne, Ramada, Quality Hotels, Clarion and Intercontinental groups."
The knitted towel definitely has a life span of more than double that of a similar weight woven towel."
"I would definitely stay with the EcoKnit towels in the future"
