Setting up a commercial laundry business is a great idea as there will always be a demand for clean clothes. However, it’s important to put thoughtful consideration into setting up your commercial laundry operations, especially when it comes to servicing hotels, hospitals, aged care facilities and the hospitality industry. Below we look at some key considerations from commercial laundry equipment to what potential client businesses are looking for.
What Your Clients Will Look For
All key industries that utilise commercial laundry services will be looking for the following in an outsourced solution:
- Affordability – Organisations using outsourced commercial laundry are looking to spend less on utilities, machinery, upkeep and labour compared to doing laundry in-house. Outsourced commercial laundry service costs must be guaranteed to be lower than doing it themselves.
- Effectiveness – Fabrics must be cleaned to a high standard, ensuring the disinfection processes destroy all bacteria and viruses while delivering clean laundry.
- Efficiency – Most laundry services pick up and return laundry within a stipulated time frame. This can also include personalised turnaround times. That can range between a weekly or daily pick up and drop off. However, an emergency order might require you to speed up the process.
- Convenience – Organisations want an outsourced laundry solution they can rely on to deliver consistent, timely, high quality services.
In order to deliver all of the above, your commercial laundry business must have the right equipment and processes in place.
Commercial Laundry Equipment
The equipment you use is key to your ability to deliver a high quality, affordable, efficient and convenient service. There are a few options, from commercial laundry rental equipment to having your own plant and equipment.
The latter is preferable in order to ensure you have the right special features in place, like precision water temperature control, precise and computerised detergent release, automated wash cycles, energy-efficient operation and high cleanliness and safety standards.
Benefits of Ozone Laundry Systems
The revolutionary OTEK laundry system by Ozone Technologies employs ozone gas as a cleansing and disinfection booster, enabling you to deliver clean laundry efficiently and at scale. It works by exploiting ozone’s highly active energy state to replace the use of hot water and increase the effectiveness of detergents and cleaning chemicals, speeding up the destruction of soil and microorganisms.
With the OTEK System, your commercial laundry business can:
- Reduce energy use by up to 90%
- Reduce water use by up to 40% with shorter wash cycles
- Increase productivity by up to 30%
- Reduce chemical costs by using fewer detergents
