COMMERCIAL LAUNDRY
Still Going Strong
As they celebrate 35 years of service in the commercial laundry sector, we hear from Ideal Manufacturing, who give us the inside scoop on their company and explain how they have continued to deliver results throughout their history.
After being founded by Dr Mike Kalli back in 1980, Ideal Manufacturing is celebrating 35 years as a supplier to the laundry industry. Dr Kalli’s revolutionary principle to formulate fully built powder detergents to boost commercial laundry plant efficiency using new concepts in detergent chemistry soon established the company as a pioneer in British laundry chemical manufacture, and they are still going strong today.
According to Dr Kalli’s philosophy, the best way to solve problems is to get out there and see them for yourself, then to go back to the lab and create products that genuinely perform. That’s how Ideal started and we continue this tradition today.
We still make everything in our Northamptonshire HQ, and are proud to be an independent, family- run British manufacturer. Our product range includes laundry liquids, powders, emulsifiers, starches, boosters, bleaches, dry cleaning detergents, wet cleaning chemicals, spotters, sanitisers and special use additives.
As well as offering a laundry detergent solution for every type of laundry, from the smallest high street outfit to the largest commercial, our experienced technical personnel can help select the most appropriate automatic dosing solution and the correct product mix.

Powder For The People The trend in large commercials has leaned more and more towards liquid products, with the supply of a wide range of different products – detergents, boosters, oxidising agents, emulsifiers, softeners and sours (sometimes you’ll even see injection of enzymatic solutions and optical brighteners) and finally starches and antichlor.
Sure, it’s important to have the correct balance of products to achieve excellent results, but our experience has taken us along another route to ensure the correct chemistry in certain situations. We can supply the whole range too, but with our new ‘Professional Plus’ (Pp) laundry powder we are now leading customers to what initially appears to be an outmoded concept, the use of powder technology.
Tests at a large independent laundry in London have proved that we can achieve excellent and consistent quality by engineering an efficient, reliable powder injection system and by simplifying the product requirement to just a single concentrated fully built powder. We also apply a gentle sour for the majority of classifications. Wherever there is specific or heavier soiling we can inject additional products (if absolutely necessary) to enable the highest standard of soil removal at far greater economy and in a simplified manner that makes stock management easier than before.
Our experience in professional laundry and textile care enables us to formulate, manufacture and supply completely bespoke laundry and textile care products for sale under private label to some of the industry’s most successful supply companies.
We can help our partners crystallise a product range they wish to take to market, and we can also develop tailor-made laundry formulations to resolve specific issues. In this way, we have helped to create a number of successful laundry brands and product lines in the UK and overseas.
In addition, we will supply processing guides, suggested methods of application, detailed product information and up-to-date regulatory paperwork so that customers can be confident in the accuracy of supporting literature. We can even help with the creation of private label branding and labelling.
We can produce liquid or powder formulations and we can package in a spectrum of containers. Wherever required, we can also develop laundry products for the retail shelf. We are also able to offer concentrates that can be shipped in bulk containers for dilution and re-packing at site.
