It’s Blue Monday on January 19, the day that carries a reputation for being the most depressing of the year.

This is linked with depleted motivation and a post-holiday slump. Cold weather, shorter daylight hours, and pressure to stick to resolutions can all contribute.

Blue Monday is used by charities, employers, schools, and communities to encourage conversation about mental health and emotional wellbeing.

But did you know the third Monday in January gained its moniker as a marketing gimmick by a holiday company – that’s you, Sky Travel – looking to highlight the mood-lifting possibilities of booking summer holidays right now?

As individuals, couples and families think past Blue Monday to blue skies and blue seas in the months ahead, this is good news for the hospitality industry as reservations start to roll in.

And that in turn will work out nicely for laundries servicing those hotels and holiday lets getting ready to welcome spring and summer funseekers.

So, are you reservation ready? As in, is your linen stock in tip-top condition ready to grace those many thousands of inviting holiday beds, bathrooms and dining tables? And, if you deal in staff uniforms, make those workers look their pristine best?

If the answer is anything other than an affirmative ‘yes!’ it’s time to sort out anything stained, marked or discoloured – not ripped or torn, we can’t rescue those for you – and give Regenex a call.

We can take delivery of your lacklustre linens and process them using our patented, multi-bath system rooted in textile coloration technology. Our success rate for the heaviest-stained items you thought were only fit for the bin is up to 85%.

Using Regenex is significantly cheaper than buying top-up stock and is good for your corporate low carbon ideals, making the most of resources and minimising textile waste.

When talking about clothing, sustainable fashion guru Orsola de Castro famously said that the most sustainable piece is one that you already own – and the same can be said of sheets, pillow cases, duvet covers, towels and tablecloths.

So get in touch and see how we can work together.
