Price versus Value Looking beyond the price point
‘Buy cheap, buy twice’. Many of us have learnt this lesson the hard way.
Let’s take housekeeping and cleaning chemicals as an example. On the face of it, they all do the same job. So why pay more for professional brand products?
When viewed through the lens of Total Operating Value (TOV), which compares overall savings rather than price alone, the answer is you don’t!
Cheap housekeeping products take more effort to get the results you need, often requiring different products for different tasks. Cleaning with a reduced line-up of professional-formula chemicals takes less effort and product to achieve visible, fresh-smelling cleaning results, with the bonus of reducing plastic waste. Indeed, one care home group saved 259 plastic chemical bottles over just four months!
CareHomeLife’s TOV philosophy helps care homes make better purchasing decisions because it considers not just what you use, but how you use it. Our customers typically see their monthly consumables bill drop by 20% after moving to better-quality products and optimised systems, backed up by our training and support.
SPOTLIGHT ON LAUNDRY
Laundry can be complex and costly to manage. Typically costing £30-£50 per resident, per week, getting good results whilst trying to control overheads is a well-documented tension point.
By looking at the bigger picture of Total Operating Value (TOV), care homes have a golden opportunity to make long-term, sustainable operational laundry cost savings of up to 20%.
TOV in Laundry considers the benefits of using high-performing products that can be trusted to do a better job, alongside other reductions such as electricity, water, waste and wash time.
Example savings A care home group achieved an up to 40% reduction in electricity consumption by moving to an optimised laundry system that gave them confidence to lower wash temperature. First-pass results, eliminating the need for pre-wash and re-wash, led to a 23% reduction in water usage and 28% reduction in wash time. Most importantly, clean, fresh-smelling clothes and soft bedding improved the comfort of residents and garnered the approval of their loved ones.
The secret sauce in realising such savings is chemical quality combined with a proven auto-dosing system that delivers exceptional results first wash, every wash.
ELECTRICITY Up to 40% less
WATER USAGE Up to 23% less
2 WASH TIME Up to 28% less
For care homes, the true meaning of value can be found in saving staff time and effort, reducing energy and waste and, above all, ensuring the comfort and dignity of residents.
