When it comes to caring for personal laundry and clothing, it's about much more than just cleanliness: many residents consider a meticulously ironed blouse or a freshly laundered pullover a sign of appreciation.

And yet items of clothing made from a wide range of materials are not the only challenge facing the laundry team. Each and every day there are piles of bedsheets, towels and cleaning textiles to contend with – even contaminated laundry is not a rare occurrence.

Miele Professional offers a range of dependable and high-performance laundry machines to cater for individual requirements. Thanks to numerous special programmes, these machines rise to the challenge of all types of textiles and soiling.

Alongside frontloading models, barrier machines for installation in a diaphragm wall are an ideal proposition for retirement and care homes: loading and unloading on the unclean and clean sides respectively, together with the use of the disinfection programmes, guarantees the highest of hygiene standards as stipulated by the Association for Applied Hygiene and the Robert Koch Institute.

Ironers, ironing stations and tables as well as finishers for outerwear neatly round off the range.

Self service

Little Giants, maximum performance, great quality of life

Folding laundry, putting crockery into cupboards or simply making a cup of coffee: residents in sheltered housing always strive to do as much without assistance as possible – just like at home. And Miele is more than willing to support such self-sufficiency with user-friendly products.

Miele Professional accommodates this desire for autonomy: with washing machines, dishwashers and tumble dryers whose user-friendly touch displays are an open invitation to get involved.

With the new Little Giants, Miele Professional has also developed a generation of machines designed to perfectly match the needs of smaller homes and groups. Thanks to their robust commercial-grade technology, they offer short cycles, requiring only 49 minutes for washing and a further 36 minutes for drying.
“Hygiene” model versions of the Little Giants feature a newly developed set of controls with a text display in multiple languages. The rotary control provides for maximum operating safety, plus washing machines and tumble dryers can be equipped with payment systems. So residents in sheltered housing can still play an active part in doing their own laundry, should they so wish.

Central dishwashing room

Spotlessly clean cutlery and crockery

Clean crockery should be just as much a matter of course as starters being followed by a main course and a dessert. Miele Professional ensures a smooth cleaning process.

No matter how many persons you care for: at meal times, a convivial atmosphere is all part and parcel of ensuring residents feel comfortable. This includes sparkling plates, cups and glasses as well as immaculately laundered table linen.

The highest hygiene standards are non-negotiable in the institutional care sector – and not only in areas where numerous frail persons congregate. Even at peak times, everything runs smoothly with Miele Professional. Wherever large quantities of crockery need to be turned around in a very short space of time, a tank dishwasher is the system of choice.

No matter whether a passthrough dishwasher with tabling or a frontloading machine – with cycles that can be as fast as 47 seconds, crockery is ready for use again in next to no time. In combination with matching cleaning agents, perfect results are guaranteed – and all in that legendary Miele quality.

Decentral kitchenette

Efficient and comfortable

Decentral kitchenettes in retirement and care homes have a dual purpose: they ensure that meals are provided without a hitch and they are also places where residents like to meet and socialise.

By installing professional dishwashers in your kitchenettes, you will always keep on top of the daily mountains of washing up created by your residents and make sure they always have access to clean crockery. The machines have really simple controls, so they can even be used by the residents themselves.

What’s more, residents can actively help out in the kitchenette, for instance by preparing vegetables or baking biscuits together.

Not only are meals made in the main kitchen served up onto individual plates here, but the kitchenette is also a space where small celebrations can be held and provides various opportunities for residents to get involved with little jobs.

Fresh water dishwashers that meet high standards of hygiene do great work here in ensuring load items are ready for use again quickly. A great feeling for both residents and staff.

Contract cleaning

Helping hands clean surfaces and floors

Retirement and care homes have lots of visitors, with people coming and going all the time – which poses significant challenges each day for the facility management team.
With Miele Professional, the reception area, corridors and rooms are always a home’s pride.

All too easily, drinks are spilled, making floors a real slip hazard. This is where professionalism is called for. Specially developed for contract cleaning, Mop Star is particularly suited to the demanding task of cleaning and preparing mops and cleaning cloths.

Immediately after the start of the programme, textiles are first subjected to a patented dewatering process. This removes coarse soil and dirty water.

This is followed by a combination of a washing process and the application of disinfectant or cleaning agent in one single cycle. This saves valuable time and the contract cleaning team gains crucial support.

Service

Did you know that Miele Customer Service has been repeatedly awarded top marks over the years for outstanding performance?

Regular maintenance and inspections as well as professional care also ensure maximum operating reliability. Thanks to the quality of Miele products “Made in Germany”, our clients profit from extreme longevity and the availability of spare parts for up to 15 years – even if a machine is no longer listed.
