FAQs
Commercial laundry equipment is engineered differently, for one. Most commercial washers and dryers have been designed for a longer lifespan, shorter cycle times, and to be compliant with Water Regulations Approval Scheme (WRAS) regulations. In general, they’re far more robust and can handle constant use. As they’re generally used more, commercial machines are available with support packages like JLA Total Care, which guarantees an 8-working-hour response for site repairs in an emergency.
We tend to use laundry agents, sometimes called laundry aids, to achieve better cleaning results. The most common agents are water, stain removers, bleaches and whiteners, but there are also stiffeners, solvents and absorbents, along with acid and alkaline agents used to create certain effects.
Pricing varies on the model of washing machine, tumble dryer or finishing machines, which all serve different purposes. JLA’s Total Care package, which is specially designed to meet your needs, ensures no upfront payments, repair bills or call-out charges – you simply pay a single monthly fee that covers everything from parts to servicing.
Any laundry business will need to invest in commercial-grade washing machines, tumble dryers and finishing equipment. Alongside these essentials, you’re likely to be looking at detergents, chemicals, trolleys, bags, shelving or storge, utilities, customer payment facilities and IT equipment to support the business.
For 50 years, we’ve worked closely with new laundrette managers and other laundry companies, and can provide plenty of advice and support. Plus, we offer an extensive product range through our unique Total Care package. Get in touch if you’d like to know more, or check out our detailed guide on starting a laundry business.
