A complete guide to commercial fabric conditioners

  • Laundry
  • February 16, 2026
  • Jack Murray
  • Detergents expert

Commercial fabric conditioners are a staple of laundry rooms up and down the country.

However, what are the benefits beyond keeping laundry fresh, how can fabric conditioner improve efficiency and why does it improve the quality of linen in your laundry room?

We also showcase the different options and outline why should you use commercial-grade fabric conditioners over domestic alternatives.

The benefits of fabric conditioner

Some of the benefits of fabric conditioners seem obvious, but there are a wide variety of lesser-known advantages to incorpoating commercial fabric conditioners into your laundry operations.

Softer fabrics
Using a commercial fabric conditioner in your laundry room can improve the experience for customers, as it keeps fabrics feeling soft. This enhances the experience in customers in settings ranging from towels and bedding in care homes through to staff uniforms and tablecloths in a hospitality business.
They help linen and garments feel consistently high quality even for sensitive skin.

Extends the life of your linen
Commercial conditioners also help extend the life of your textiles by coating the fibres, so they experience less friction during the washing and drying processes. This helps to reduce wear, fading and fibre breakage over time resulting in longer-lasting linen and potential long term cost savings.

Faster drying times
Conditioned fabrics usually dry more quickly, as the fibres hold less static along with creasing less to make ironing easier and faster. For organisations handling moderate to high volumes of laundry, this can improve operational efficiencies, save time and use up fewer resources.

Fresher garments
Many commercial fabric conditioners, including the JLA Ultra range, include ingredients that neutralise odours and maintain freshness for longer periods. This is particularly helpful in sectors where hygiene and aesthetics are critical, such as hotels and healthcare environments.

Commercial vs domestic fabric conditioner

Commercial fabric conditioners are key in maintaining the quality, lifespan and overall presentation of linens in professional or demanding environments. They are formulated to withstand frequent wash cycles, are specialised for larger machines and in the case of the JLA Ultra range, ensures environmental compliance with ISO 14001 standards.

For sectors such as hospitality, healthcare and commercial laundry services, using a reliable commercial fabric conditioner is essential for meeting professional standards and ensuring a high quality experience for every customer.

How JLA’s commercial fabric conditioners can help

Here at JLA, we have a range of fabric conditioners for different applications, different laundry room sizes and different industry sectors. With 10L, 20L and 200L options available, we can accommodate the needs of commercial laundry rooms of every size.

Ultra Stay Fresh Fabric Conditioner
The JLA Ultra Stay Fresh Fabric Conditioner improves the softness of fabrics and leaves a light, fresh fragrance on your linens. Its smart formulation helps to reduce static, as well as shortening drying and ironing times.

This makes it an efficient choice for environments where the feel and quality of linen are essential, such as hotels and spas. It is also suitable for use with JLA’s auto-dosing equipment.

OTEX Fabric Conditioner
Give your fabrics and linens a soft, comfortable feel with the OTEX Fabric Conditioner. It is designed to work at its best with our OTEX ozone disinfection system, which destroys bugs such as C. diff and MRSA.

This conditioner offers a fresh scent and performs well at cool temperatures, helping you reduce energy use over time. Shorter drying and ironing times add even more convenience and efficiency to your laundry operation.

Ultra Fabric Conditioner
Our JLA Ultra Fabric Conditioner enhances the softness of fabrics and leaves a light, fresh fragrance on your linens. Its specially developed formula helps to reduce static, drying times and ironing times, making it an excellent choice for sectors where linen quality matters, such as hotels and spas.

When used with auto-dosing equipment, it helps to minimise wastage and maximise cost savings.
