The nearly $125 Billion (USD) global linen, uniform and textile services industry serves businesses, retailers, hospitals and long-term care facilities, hotels, restaurants and other organizations to help enhance their image and provide clean, safe environments for their employees and customers. The industry employees more 1 million professionals worldwide and offers a sustainable alternative to home laundering and disposable products by leveraging expertise and volume to more cost-effective, efficiently and environmentally friendly processes.

The International Textile Services Alliance (ITSA) was established as a global forum to promote the value of textile, linen and uniform services and facilitate the exchange of information to further professionalize and improve cleanliness, safety and operations.

Rented Textiles services commend EU Commission for promoting safe measures. Let's wear reusable masks and follow hand hygiene and drying with hygienically cleaned textiles to help reduce the spread of the virus.

European Commission 🇪🇺@EU_Commission

Let's each do our part: wearing masks, sticking to hand hygiene, and avoiding the three C's:
• Crowds
• Close contacts
• Closed spaces with poor ventilation.

Only by protecting ourselves and each other can we reduce the spread of the virus. #StrongerTogether
