CINCINNATI — The Tide® Professional Coldwater Laundry System has been named a 2015 Award Winner by the internationally renowned Edison Awards™, according to P&G Professional™, the away-from-home division of Procter & Gamble.
“We’re proud to receive the Silver Edison Green Award for our Tide Professional Coldwater System,” says Carrie Rathod, brand manager, P&G Professional. “Tide Professional Coldwater offers a host of environmental benefits to hotel operators and guests. It’s designed to use significantly less water at colder temperatures compared to traditional on-premise laundry systems, yet still delivers the clean, white, soft linens and towels customers and guests expect from Tide.”
This, according to Rathod, helps hotels reduce their energy and water costs, as well as reduce reliance on limited resources made increasingly important by drought.
The company claims the laundry system enables hotel facilities to reduce the energy needed to heat the water in a commercial washer by as much as 75% and to reduce the amount of water used in a commercial washer by up to 40%.
The Edison Awards, inspired by Thomas Edison’s persistence and inventiveness, recognize innovation, creativity and ingenuity in the global economy. Specifically, the Edison Green Award is designed as a platform to recognize efforts by an organization to reduce carbon footprint, create “Green Collar” jobs through new innovation methods, and improve community health and self-sufficiency.
