Floringo's Twin-Star bathrobe has numerous benefits in store for hotels and the textile rental industry. Thanks to a clever construction model featuring cotton on the inside and polyester on the outside, these popular bathrobes are economical to work with and comfortable to wear. A bi-colour look also ensures unchanging beautiful colours, which pays off with a particularly long service life for laundries and textile service providers.
In industrial laundering, washing bathrobes is one of the main energy consumers: cotton terry absorbs large amounts of moisture due to its loop structure, calling for a great deal of heat to be applied during drying. Our Twin-Star quality has enabled us to succeed in substantially reducing the required use of resources and energy costs in the drying process. This became possible due to the fibre mix of 60% polyester and 40% cotton and the construction model used: the outside of the bathrobes is made of quick-drying polyester micro-velour, while the absorbent, skin-friendly cotton terry faces the inside. When exposing these bathrobes to heat, we therefore create a kind of candlewick effect: as the synthetic fibre dries, it virtually draws up the water bound inside the cotton, thus accelerating the evaporation process. In this way, the laundry saves both time and energy.
Two-sided colouring with immense user benefit
Thanks to a sophisticated colour scheme, the company has further enhanced Twin-Star’s economy. Only the polyester portion is dyed with light- and washfast disperse dyes. These do not fade even with boil wash or change colour due to optical brighteners. In addition, since disperse dyes have no affinity whatsoever with cotton, the natural fibre does not discolour either. This means that the fabric appearance remains unchanged even after umpteen washes. Twin-Star bathrobes thus have a long useful life, can be used longer in the rental cycle and need to be replaced less frequently. The bi-colour look therefore leads to further improvements in the economic and ecological scorecard of a laundry operation.
Three models, seven colours, three certificates
Floringo offers its bi-colour bathrobes with the special sandwich construction in various designs, namely in a kimono cut made of a 250 g/m² lightweight fabric from the Twin-Star economy series as well as in a shawl collar and hood variant made of a 320 g/m² heavy fabric (Twin-Star premium). Depending on the model, up to seven colours are available, combined with white, i.e., walnut, elephant grey, slate, fango, lagoon, cream, anthracite. The complete range is certified according to Standard 100 by Oekotex, Made-in Green and the government sustainability seal “Green Button”.
