Hotels produce a lot of laundry and are certainly well placed to enjoy the savings that OPL provides. With high weekly savings available when compared to an industrial linen service, OPL seems like the obvious choice; but many hotel managers will still have questions regarding utility costs, staff training, and the space required to bring your laundry in-house.

Electrolux and Wascomat commercial washers and dryers are packed with innovative features that keep water and energy use to a minimum, and help businesses keep utility costs low. And with the Compass Pro control panel, you can create individual wash programs for the different items you launder. This makes it easy for staff to operate your machines; they simply select the program for bedsheets, towels, uniforms, tablecloths, etc; and with multi language display, operation is simple, regardless of french/english proficiency. Electrolux ironers come with automatic feeding and folding features which make them easy to operate as well.

Many hotel operators in high-value downtown locations have concerns about the space requirements of in-house laundry. Laveuse has experience turning unused basement areas into compact and efficient laundry rooms. And for those with no basement space available, soft-mount washers remove up to 97% of free vibration, meaning they can be installed on above-basement floors.

An often overlooked benefit of OPL is the savings your business will make on replacing linens. With quality commercial laundry equipment, your sheets and towels won’t yellow or grey because of overdrying, and with a much quicker turnaround, you won’t need to keep such a high stock of linens, nor will you need to store soiled sheets and towels while you wait for them to be collected by your linen service.

While the cost savings of OPL are important, when it comes to laundry in health care facilities, hygiene is paramount. On-site barrier washers from Electrolux give hospitals and care homes complete control over their laundry operations. With Electrolux Hygiene Watchdog (HW) ensuring the best defense against the spreading of microorganisms and cross infections, hospital and care home staff can be sure that they are doing the utmost to protect their patients and residents.

Firefighter’s garments need specific laundry care to provide a quality clean without negatively impacting upon fire retardant coatings. The Electrolux Professional Laundry Solution restores protective garments as part of the overall cleaning process, ensuring full protection and comfort to fire garments after every wash.

Any business or facility which uses large numbers of towels can benefit from OPL. Because they do not need to be ironed, towels are one of the least labour-intensive garments to launder. They are also the garment that is most prone to yellowing or greying if laundered incorrectly. Electrolux and Wascomat commercial laundry equipment features technology to extend the life of your linens.

The fast turnaround time from OPL is also beneficial to these businesses. Towels in fitness centers, spas, and pools are used once before being thrown in the laundry basket. This means your business will have a large volume of lightly soiled items. Allowing these towels to stack up while you wait for your laundry service pick up would require a very large number of towels and a large space to store them. With OPL, the same towel can be used and laundered many times in one day, allowing you to keep a much smaller stock, and ensuring you never run low because of a late delivery.

Many small businesses will choose to send out their laundry or will make do with home appliances on their premises because they believe they are too small to benefit from commercial laundry. Crossover commercial laundry machines are made specifically for this in-between market. With Crossover, your small business can get the reliability and quality of commercial equipment at a price much closer to a home appliance.
