Running any care home isn’t an easy job. You not only need to provide compassionate, personalised care, but provide a consistently clean and hygienic environment. Everything must run smoothly to ensure your residents feel safe, comfortable, and respected.
One key but often overlooked aspect is laundry- an everyday necessity that directly impacts both on the well-being of residents and helps control infections.
If you’re a busy care home manager in the UK, finding reliable, cost-effective laundry supplies is essential. However, it’s not always easy. That’s where Protec® comes in.
As a family-owned and operated business based in the Southwest of England, Protec has grown into a respected supplier for care homes, hospitals and residential homes across the UK. We specialise in supplying laundry supplies for care homes as part of a comprehensive product range tailored exclusively to the care sector.
So, why do thousands of professionals trust Protec to deliver the laundry supplies? And why choose us for your establishment?
A Specialist Supplier for the Care Sector
Unlike general cleaning or medical suppliers, we focus completely on the care home industry. That means everything we offer has been carefully selected, tested and used in environments just like yours.
Whether you run a small residential home or a large nursing facility, we understand the real, every day challenges care homes face, including the pressure to balance quality, cost and compliance.
We supply a wide range of laundry essentials, including:
Laundry detergents designed for disinfection at healthcare levels
Destainers and sanitisers that meet infection control standards
Laundry bags, trolleys and storage systems to make sorting easy
Our solutions are designed to support hygiene, prolong the life of your linen, and streamline laundry operations, giving your staff more time to focus on caring.
Quality and Compliance First
In places like care homes, laundry does more than clean clothes: it removes pathogens and prevents cross-contamination. That’s why all of our laundry supplies meet rigorous health and safety regulations, including HTM (Health Technical Memorandum) guidelines and CQC compliance.
With our supplies, you can rely on high-quality formulations that:
Effectively kill bacteria, viruses, and spores at low temperatures
Are suitable for sensitive skin and delicate fabrics
Offer excellent value when it comes to cost-per-wash
Work reliably with commercial washing machines
Whether you operate an in-house laundry system or outsource your cleaning, we’ve got the right products to help you deliver the finest services.

Managing multiple suppliers is incredibly time consuming. With Protec, you have a one-stop partner that provides not only laundry supplies but a complete range of products for your care home.
From janitorial and hygiene products to medical equipment, furnishings, and PPE, we stock thousands of lines. You will have everything needed to run a safe, welcoming, and efficient facility.
It’s all backed by our experienced team who are only a phone call, email, or site visit away. No call centres. No stock confusion. Just straight answers and speedy delivery services.
