Our Four Business Cornerstones

One Less Thing to Worry About

Convenience. Clients save valuable time and the hassle of cleaning, repair, and inventory with our delivery of fresh, clean textile items on a regular schedule.

Quality. Our experts specify the best fabrics and sturdiest construction to ensure optimal performance with repeated use.

Appearance. General Linen Service's merchandise is clean and crisp, offering our clients a professional image combined with a feeling of comfort that pleases patients, guests, and customers.

Cleanliness. Our plant processes all of our merchandise to be non-allergenic and hygienically clean to satisfy the most discerning organizations. Additionally, each piece is manually inspected prior to customer delivery.

Safety. General Linen Service is OSHA and JCAHO compliant to ensure all of our customers meet specific legal and environmental workplace standards.

Savings. Because our customers don't have to spend money on labor, laundry equipment, supplies, merchandise, utilities, or storage, they can focus their attention on other areas to help grow their business.

We're large enough to handle the biggest orders, and small enough to do it personally.
