UV Light Sanitisation — A Deeper Clean for Every Load
Our commercial washers use built-in UV-C lighting to inactivate bacteria, viruses, and mold at the DNA level. It's not just clean — it's sanitised. Available with every wash at Highlander Laundromat.
What Is UV Light Sanitisation & Why Does It Matter?
Ultraviolet-C light is the same technology used in hospitals, water treatment plants, and food processing facilities to eliminate harmful microorganisms. Our washers are equipped with UV-C lighting that disrupts the DNA and RNA of bacteria, viruses, and mold spores — rendering them unable to reproduce or cause illness. It’s a chemical-free layer of protection that works alongside your detergent, not instead of it.
For families, vacation rental operators, and anyone who cares about hygiene, this means every load that goes through our machines gets a level of sanitisation that standard laundromats simply can’t match. Towels, sheets, baby clothes, gym gear — everything comes out cleaner and safer.
How Does UV Sanitisation Work in Our Washers?
UV-C light sits inside the washer drum and activates during the wash cycle. The short-wavelength ultraviolet light penetrates the cell walls of bacteria, viruses, and mold, breaking apart their DNA so they can’t survive or spread. This process is automatic — you don’t need to do anything extra. Every load that runs through our UV-equipped machines gets this added layer of sanitisation at no additional cost.
