As a hotel owner or manager, you know that laundry is a major cost consideration for your facility. An inefficient washing operation can cost you time, money, and customer satisfaction. You need to create a system in which your housekeeping staff can thoroughly wash all linens in less time.
Of course, that goal may seem easier said than done. However, a few small changes can make a significant impact on your laundry and bottom line. Below are three ways you can improve your on-premise laundry system.
1. Perform Routine Maintenance
Just like with your car or personal health, preventative maintenance is vital to keeping your laundry operation efficient. You can call experienced technicians to come to your facility to look for any hidden problems from time to time. This call could save you money on repair in the future and keep your hotel’s linens perfectly cozy.
2. Choose Energy-Efficient Machines
Even with routine maintenance, laundry equipment can sometimes break down beyond repair. When the time comes to replace a washing or drying machine, choose an energy-efficient model. Over time, this can save your hotel lots of money on energy bills in the long run. You may also be entitled to certain tax credits, depending on your location and the unit you purchase.
3. Create Ideal Washing Conditions
Even the best detergents can be ineffective if the housekeeping staff doesn’t operate the machines correctly. Make sure that you properly train your employees on your machine. Time, temperature, and other settings should be correct with every wash. Otherwise, you may waste time and money rewashing linens.
