Energy-saving tips for commercial laundry equipment

  • Laundry
  • January 12, 2023

In the current economic environment, everyone is looking for ways to make their operations more efficient. Premises with on-site commercial laundries are no exception to this rule. In fact, these are arguably the businesses that will make the biggest savings by finding extra efficiencies. 

Energy saving tips on commercial laundry

To help these businesses, we’ve created this commercial laundry guide. Below you’ll find the best commercial laundry energy saving tips around. Plus, we’ve also outlined several commercial laundry cost-saving measures you can implement. 

Choose efficient machines

If you’re looking at starting a commercial laundry or you need to upgrade your equipment, then the biggest commercial laundry energy saving tip we can give you is to buy efficient equipment. 

Pieces of high quality and eco-friendly laundry equipment, such as the commercial washers and tumble dryers we provide, have been designed to reduce cycle times, use less water and electricity, and increase overall efficiencies. This is particularly the case with our SMART washing machines, which deliver optimum water, energy and detergent consumption on every cycle.

Efficiency is especially important for any commercial laundry that uses coin-operated washing machines and tumble dryers. After all, the shorter the cycle length and the less energy you use, the more profit you’ll make.

Wash at lower temperatures

If you use the right detergents and wash cycles, then you can wash clothes in cold water and get the same results you’d receive by using hot water. In the process, you can use less energy and spend less money. 

If you can turn the temperature down and receive the same high-quality results, then you’ll see a huge difference in your electricity costs. However, before you change the wash temperature, you should ensure you’re still meeting any standards that your commercial laundry must meet.

Clean dryers more regularly

If your laundry room staff clean lint screens before each use and continually clean each machine regularly, then you’ll find that items dry quicker and your commercial dryers use a lot less energy. 

On top of this, you should make sure that your staff members also regularly clean any ducts. This way, you can ensure that the heated air enters your dryers as efficiently as possible.

Other steps you can take

If you’re attempting to save energy and make your commercial laundry a little greener, then it’s likely you’ll spend most of your time focusing on your machinery. However, you can make other commercial laundry energy saving decisions that will help your mission. 

For example, by making simple modifications to your laundry, such as upgrading your lights to energy-efficient bulbs and setting timers to automatically turn off lights and electronics, you can reduce your carbon footprint and save money on your electricity bill.  

Fancy taking some steps to make your laundry room more energy efficient? Our commercial laundry cost-saving tips will help. If new commercial washers and dryers are the best solution for you, then we’d love to help you find the perfect match. Speak to our laundry experts today. Whatever you need, we’ll take care of it.
