The benefits of implementing high-quality commercial laundry solutions in multi-housing properties
How to ensure your laundry room maintains resident satisfaction and efficiency
The laundry room is a crucial space within a multi-housing property. Supporting dozens of residents each day requires commercial laundry equipment that is reliable and durable enough to withstand frequent daily usage. These facilities also need to uphold the high standards of hygiene expected by residents, as laundry services are included in their contract.
Faulty machines and regular breakdowns can be not only expensive for property owners but also disruptive for residents, decreasing their satisfaction and happiness with the place they call home. Therefore, implementing high-quality commercial laundry solutions in multi-housing properties can provide numerous benefits for both property owners and residents.
How to uphold a quality laundry experience
In a multi-housing community, the laundry room provides a variety of diverse benefits. Not only can a laundry room support simpler laundry processes, but it also allows for more space within residents' homes and supports cost savings through shared use. It can also contribute to the overall appeal and functionality of the housing complex, increasing resident satisfaction and retention.
Therefore, creating and upholding a quality laundry experience is key. However, this goes beyond just providing sparkling laundry machines and a well-maintained room. The entire laundry process, from start to finish, should be seamless to ensure a quick and smooth experience for residents during their busy day-to-day lives. At Miele Professional, our self-service solutions for residential homes are designed with the user in mind. This includes our full range of laundry machinery, from washers and dryers to ironers and even detergents!
When it comes to operating laundry equipment, modern machines often come with a variety of settings and programmes that can be difficult to navigate. This may result in residents choosing the wrong cycle, temperature, or detergent, ultimately reducing the effectiveness of the cleaning cycle. At Miele Professional, all our laundry machines include controls to support quick and simple operations, reducing the risk of errors and minimising the need to train residents how to use laundry equipment. The simple to operate controls are clearly structured and include many language options, allowing international residents to feel more welcome and at home.
How to balance costs savings while reducing your environmental impact
In multi-housing properties, which house a significant number of residents, the laundry room will be required daily. This means that the commercial laundry machines you choose for your laundry room is important, as they must be able to reliably process numerous laundry loads on a regular basis without breaking down or needing repairs. Washing machines by Miele Professional provide the perfect solution, as they are tested for up to 30,000 operating hours. This provides peace of mind to property managers and resident alike, reducing lifecycle costs and the likelihood of machines breaking down, so residents can always rely on having clean, fresh laundry available when they need it.
Not only must your laundry machines be reliable, but economical too. Processing multiple loads of laundry each day can consume an excessive amount of water, energy, and detergent, increasing overhead costs and your environmental footprint. At Miele Professional, all our laundry machines are designed for low consumption. For example, thanks to our Little Giant’s extremely short wash cycle times, each load is washed and dried in just 86 minutes, while the precise use of water, electricity, and cleaning agents conserves resources and saves money. Additionally, for properties looking to save space, the Little Giants have a compact footprint of less than 1.5 m².
How to maintain laundry equipment
Residents living in multi-housing properties depend on their laundry facilities day and night. From shift workers needing their uniforms clean again the next day to parents needing soft, freshly washed linens for their babies, laundry rooms cater to a diverse range of needs. If equipment breakdowns should occur and repairs are required, this can disrupt and delay processes within the building. Therefore, a fast and efficient response is essential to get equipment up and running again in no time.
At Miele Professional, our customer service is what sets us apart. To prevent breakdowns from happening in the first place, regular maintenance checks conducted by Miele's specially trained service technicians or our approved network of partners help avoid faults in the machines.
