About Sanico

Where is Sanico located?

Sanico is headquartered in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, with laundry centers and depots serving Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, and the Gulf Coast. If you're in the Southeast, there's a good chance we already have a driver near you.

How long has Sanico been in business?

We've been on these routes since 1988. Our founders started the company with a van and a pallet of mats, and we've grown almost entirely through word of mouth and referrals ever since.

What makes Sanico different from the national uniform companies?

The big nationals are good at signing contracts. After that, you're often dealing with a call center, rotating reps, and billing surprises. Sanico is locally owned and Southeast-based. When you call, someone who knows your account picks up. When something's wrong, we fix it.

What industries does Sanico work with?

We work with automotive shops, restaurants, food processing facilities, schools, healthcare facilities, manufacturers, and most other businesses across the Southeast. If your team needs to look professional and your facility needs to stay clean, we can build a program around you.

Uniform Rental, Facility & Chemical Services

What is a uniform rental program?
A uniform rental program means a service provider supplies, launders, and delivers your work uniforms on a regular schedule. Instead of purchasing and managing workwear yourself, you pay a weekly service fee, and clean uniforms show up at your door: no purchasing, no laundry, no inventory tracking on your end.
How does a managed uniform service work?

A managed uniform service handles everything from garment selection and fitting to weekly pickup, laundering, and delivery. Your provider tracks inventory, handles repairs, and keeps your team stocked. All you do is wear them

What is the difference between buying and renting work uniforms?

When you buy uniforms, you're responsible for purchasing, laundering, replacing, and tracking everything. When you rent, your provider handles all of that on a weekly basis. Most businesses find renting saves time, reduces costs, and keeps their team looking more consistent.

Do I have to purchase uniforms or products upfront?

No. Sanico owns the inventory. You pay for the weekly service. There's no upfront investment required to get started.

What facility services does Sanico provide?

We provide mats, shop towels, mop heads, restroom supplies, and more, all professionally laundered and restocked on a weekly schedule. No separate vendors, no extra orders.

What chemical solutions does Sanico offer?

We carry the cleaning and hygiene products your facility actually needs, including restroom chemicals, sanitizers, and more, delivered on the same route as your uniforms and facility products.

How does Sanico clean uniforms and linens?

Everything goes through our processing facilities where it's laundered professionally, inspected piece by piece, and returned ready to use. We launder restaurant and food processing uniforms above 140 degrees using commercial-grade chemicals to meet food safety standards.

Can Sanico handle uniforms for a large workforce?

Yes. We work with businesses of all sizes. Whether you have five employees or five hundred, we build a program scaled to your operation and adjust it as your team grows.

What happens if something is wrong with my service?

Call us. You'll reach someone who knows your account. We'll make it right on the next delivery, or sooner if it's urgent.

Does Sanico service my area?

We run routes across Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Kentucky, and the Gulf Coast. If you're in the Southeast, reach out and we'll confirm coverage for your location.
