Whether it’s hotels and spas needing soft towels, or care homes looking to improve their residents’ comfort, commercial fabric conditioner is a powerful tool in any commercial laundry setup.
But what makes it work, and why is it a good idea to choose commercial-grade for your organisation? Here’s everything you need to know.

What is commercial fabric conditioner – and how does it help?
If commercial detergent removes dirt and stains from your laundry, then fabric conditioner adds the finishing touch – leaving garments soft, bright and smelling great. By reducing friction during a wash, conditioner also helps fabrics last longer, which could save you more in the long run.
JLA’s Ultra Stay Fresh fabric conditioner, as an example, uses advanced encapsulation technology to reduce static, drying and ironing times while softening items like towels and linens and adding a long-lasting fragrance. This makes it the ideal choice for customers who want to prioritise finish quality as well as speed and efficiency – think busy hotels or upmarket spas.
Commercial or domestic fabric conditioner – what’s best?
Commercial-grade fabric conditioners are specifically designed for businesses. From small care homes to large hotel chains and contract cleaning businesses to luxury spas, they have been specifically formulated for consistent use.
Commercial fabric conditioners often have more concentration and along with larger sized bottles, are more suitable for handling consistent wash loads in commercial laundry rooms.
Off-the-shelf domestic fabric conditioners and detergents can generate too much foam, which can compromise the way a commercial washing machine runs. So, using domestic conditioner doesn’t just affect wash quality, but actually has the potential to cause damage in the long term and costly downtime.
Using higher-grade commercial products shouldn’t affect your sustainability goals, either. JLA and its chemical manufacturers are accredited to ISO 14001, so our customers enjoy the assurance that all materials come from sustainable sources, and that our products have minimal impact on the environment.
