How it works
Our Washlab is the washing-as-a-service side of ShareWares. We serve Vancouver-based businesses that need or already have reusable containers and are looking for a washing partner on a commercial scale.
So how does it work? Once products are received into our facility, they are cleaned of debris, soaked, and put into racks to be washed and fully sanitation in our commercial-grade EcoLab dishwasher. Next, they are dried, meticulously inspected for cleanliness, and packed into cases ready for delivery!
We use EcoLab's premium detergents to ensure products are fully sanitized and our washing equipment undergoes daily inspection and testing to guarantee health and safety for our customers.
What we wash
Here are the preferred specifications of the reusable containers we can wash safely and efficiently:
-
No risk of shattering during washing, handling, or transport
-
Washable with soap, water, and commercial washing agents
-
Fits in a commercial kitchen dish rack (max 20” x 20” x 17")
-
Stackable and can nest into one another
