5 Reasons You Should Upgrade Your Hospitality Laundry During A Crisis

With today’s occupancy rates and revenue at an all-time low, property enhancements in the hospitality sector may seem unrealistic. However, now may be the best time to think about improving the property to prepare it for success in a post-COVID-19 world.  Take advantage of low-interest rates on laundry industry-leading machines to enhance the customer experience, increase cleanliness, and improve safety.

The current state may not be an anomaly

COVID has changed businesses forever, causing hoteliers to consider new levels of cleanliness and safety. If the current state is how companies will operate in the future, then your laundry operation needs to examine those aspects of the facility not considered previously. Equipment sizes, features, technologies, and chemicals that may not have been factors before may now be must-haves for your laundry operation in the future.

By now, most are familiar with the CARES Act, signed into law by the President in the spring.  Included in that act are incentive programs such as a Qualified Improvement Property (QIP) allowance that focuses on improvements to a building’s interior. This opens up an excellent opportunity to explore the upgrades you have been considering. Read further to learn about essential keys to success as we adapt to the dynamics faced due to COVID-19.

5 On-premise Laundry technologies and service offerings you need for success

Although the path to an uncertain future is not always a transparent one, new technologies, service offerings, and chemical treatments can provide you the tools you need to get there. Below are just a few of what is available to help you run a successful hospitality laundry during a crisis.

1. High-speed washing machine – A high-speed machine creates g-forces and faster spin with more significant pressure during the final cycle to remove water from linens. As g-force increases, a more substantial amount of water is removed. Less water in the cloth at cycle completion, the shorter the drying period. This is a saving in both time and cost of utilities.
2. Moisture Sensing Technology – Moisture-sensing is a valuable feature of commercial dryers. With CDC guidelines recommending high drying temperatures, moisture-sensing technology eliminates the need for attendants to monitor the dryness of the load. This technology dries loads to pre-programmed moisture levels and stops the tumbler. By reducing over-drying, this system extends linen life, saves on utilities, reduces labor, and increases throughput.
3. Ironers and Finishing Equipment – Flatwork ironers are designed to provide the ability for laundries process table linen, bed linen, and napkins with maximum productivity. Express ironers properly finish linens without the need for dryer conditioning and messy wax application and removal.
4. Service – Costs and time can be reduced by adequately troubleshooting and addressing needs faster and with fewer call-backs. With service calls, we know convenience is essential. AAdvantage Laundry Systems employs more service technicians and master technicians than any other commercial laundry company in the South.
