#### The Benefits of Choosing a Laundry Franchise

#### Exploring Different Machines
This guide explores features and benefits of different machines, covering cost-effectiveness, energy efficiency, and durability. By the end, you'll know which machine suits your business.
#### Understanding the Different Types of Commercial Laundry Machines
There are 3 main types: commercial washers, dryers, and laundromats. Washers measure 36-42 inches, depending on if standalone or stacked. They endure constant use, are made to be serviced cost-effectively, and spin faster, producing crisp, clean clothes.
Twin tub machines suit high volume laundries. Key considerations include:
- Size
- Capacity
- Fabric type
Large businesses need more capacity, delicate fabrics require gentle cycles, and heavy fabric needs durable construction.
#### Choosing the Right Brand and Features
Top brands like Maytag, Speed Queen, and Whirlpool are proven. An experienced dealer helps select the perfect machine for your needs and budget. Key features to look for are durability and heavy-duty construction to withstand constant use.
### Laundromat Essentials
What washing machines do laundromats use? Laundromats typically use commercial front-load washers which use less water and allow more machines per space. Match machine size and wash cycle to the load.
Tide Pods can be used in laundromat washers. Laundromats usually have amenities like money-changing and soap dispenser machines and seating.
Laundromat machines conserve utilities, using only 15 gallons per wash while home washers use 30 gallons. They are found in cities and offer a variety of features and benefits.
#### Advancements in Washing Machine Technology
High-efficiency models now use 40% less water. Xeros makes a virtually waterless washer using cleaning pellets, inspired by home dry cleaning techniques. Energy Star washers save electricity, with both front load and top loaders having unique benefits.
#### Portability Option
Portable washers, which weigh under 20 pounds, use a sink or buckets of water to wash and rinse. Compact enough to store and save money, space, water, and electricity, they require more physical effort but clean clothes effectively.
