If you are starting a new laundromat or looking to make some upgrades on your existing one, water-efficient machines are the way to go. Keeping your overhead costs low can be difficult, and water waste is a big one.
Making improvements to enhance your customer’s experience while improving your business is just good business sense. Efficient machines that are easy to use will keep your customers coming back.
Why Your Laundromat Needs to Invest in Water-Efficient Machines
Technology has made incredible advancements with laundry equipment, both for use at home and commercial equipment. For your laundromat, they can save you a lot of money and keep your customers happy.
Cut Back on Utilities
Replacing your old machines with water-efficient machines will help you cut way back on your utility bill. The water usage alone can be extremely high for a busy laundromat that is in constant use.
Less energy is needed to heat the water, not as much water is required to complete the load, and that will make a big difference on your monthly bill. Most water-efficient machines require less than half the energy needed compared to standard machines.
Larger machines can handle more items and still perform very well. Smart machines have sensors that can detect the size of the load and they will perform accordingly.
New smart machines can be programmed to complete a pre-soak, which means the cycle doesn’t need to be as long or vigorous. Adjustable water levels and load sizes can also help considerably with conserving water usage and energy used.
Some smart machines have sensors that can detect how dirty the clothes are, detect the amount of detergent used, and can get the stains out without undue wear and tear on the fabrics.
Using more water doesn’t get your clothes cleaner. In fact, the clothes in less water are agitated more and rub up against other items which helps them get cleaner.
Automation
Water-efficient machines are automated which helps save time and costs. People can pre-set their cycles and not have to wait around. Your customers want the new technology for the convenience it gives them.
Settings for load size, temperature, and types of fabric allow people to program the machines to do exactly what they need. This can save a lot of money and time. Plus, there is far less waste.
Machines with sensors can weigh the loads and make adjustments to the amount of water needed. Less water used equates to less energy needed to heat the water and saves your electricity or gas.
Environment
Less waste and less energy needed from the water-efficient machines means less impact on the environment. There is an appeal to many green-thinking customers, as well, as they will prefer to use machines that are less harmful to the environment.
Less energy is needed and less water is wasted which is important. This is a smart move for your business as it will be less harmful and attract more environmentally-conscience customers.
People are looking for eco-friendly machines in their lives and when you offer them, people will be more willing to visit your business. Less energy, less waste, less water.
