Wash Resources Categories: For Property Owners

Did you know the average family washes their clothes over 300 times a year? That’s a huge number. And, when you’re running a business with a multifamily laundry area like a hotel or apartment, those running costs add up fast!

Plus, the initial outlay on such machines is expensive, not to mention maintenance. But did you know you can lease your machines? This is the preferred option for many, so we’re going to delve deeper. Let’s see why leasing laundry equipment for your facility is a worthwhile investment.

The Importance of Planning and Preparation
Do your research. As a property owner or manager, you’ll know that a lack of preparation most often leads to overspending. The initial outlay on laundry equipment is high, so it’s important to know how much you can expect to save over the long term.

First things first, know your budget. If your budget seems low, increase it. Laundry is essential to everyone’s well-being.

That’s true whether you’re running an apartment laundry service or a hotel service. After all, clean clothes are a basic human right. You’ll soon find yourself out of pocket or with a sea of unhappy customers.

So make sure that if the funds aren’t available, they should be. That’s why leasing laundry machines is so great. It’s much easier to budget month-on-month or set-up a revenue share arrangement than to invest in one big chunk.

When working out what you need, everything comes down to numbers in more ways than one. Let’s break down those numbers for you.

How Many People Are You Serving?
How many people are on your premises at any one time? The bigger your operation is, the greater the number of washes you’ll likely have to perform. But also factor in seasonal changes.

For many, washers and dryers will get used more in the summer regardless of how many people are present. Meanwhile, if you’re operating somewhere that involves outdoor activities, like a campground, your guests will be getting muddy daily, so they may find themselves doing many washes a day.

What Times Are They Using the Machines?
We’ve already mentioned above that most families do almost one wash a day. The question then is, how many cycles will the machine go through in a day?

Divide these two numbers and add a couple of spare appliances for a rough estimate of how many appliances you will need.

It isn’t that simple, as you know, but it gives you a good starting point to work with when working out where all these appliances will go.

Where Will They Use the Machines?
This one is all about strategic planning. Know how your guests or tenants move around the building.

If you’re operating in a high-rise building, the chances are you’ll need units on multiple levels. Or your establishment is flat but covers a large land area. Then you’ll need to scatter the laundry rooms strategically.

The location of the machines plays another pivotal role – Space. If you know you don’t have much space for appliances, good laundry room design is crucial — you might need to lease smaller stackable model washers and dryers.

Alternatively, if you know your clients will be washing a lot at once, such as adventurers, fewer larger drums may be the preferred option.

How Many Appliances Do You Need?
With all this information, how many appliances you need requires careful consideration of all the above. The chances are that even if you’ve scattered the appliances to minimize disruption, one room may need more appliances than another.

The total number can help you work out how many appliances you’ll need – But remember, it’s just a rough guide. So, look at whether that laundry room will become overcrowded or not and where you may need to compromise.

Why Leasing Laundry Appliances Is a No-Brainer
And, so it becomes clear why leasing laundry appliances is a blessing for complex requirements like this.

The great thing when you lease washers and lease dryers it’s the responsibility of laundry leasing company to handle all of the particulars. Expert installers can come and do all the hard work for you.

Otherwise, you might find you’re wasting countless hours on laundry room set-up and maintenance.

That will help you get your maximized return on investment and manage your budget for profitable laundry room operations.

The point is that leasing laundry equipment will save you in the long run. But it’s crucial to get the equipment you need in a way that supports your business model.

Did you know the laundry service at Disney World does 285,000 pounds of laundry a day? Your residents may not have that many dirty clothes to wash! And your laundry room may not be the happiest place on earth, but you know how important a good laundry service is for keeping residents happy.

Whether you own property or are an apartment manager, you know happy tenants are key. And when they can do laundry in a clean, well-appointed space, they’ll be happy.

So, how do you provide the best experience and benefit your bottom line?

You may be wondering what’s the best option for you – should you buy equipment or lease from a partner? Depending on your needs, you’ll want to weigh the benefits and cons of how you run your laundry room.

There are laundry solutions for any multifamily property. You can decide if you want to run it all solo or work with a professional service. Read on to learn the most important points to consider.

For each point, you’ll learn the pros and cons of leasing versus ownership, and which is the best fit for you.

Your Financial Situation
The first thing to consider is your financial situation. Do you have a lump sum ready to go or would you rather spend a little money each month?

Many property owners look into financing options to invest in equipment. This can be a great decision, but you can also opt for leasing if you’re not ready for loans.

When you invest money upfront you have the advantage of paying once. This means you own the equipment yourself. This is a great option for shorter-term investments and properties.

The longer you plan to have the machines, the more you may want to lease. That’s because machines tend to break down the older they get.

Commerical machines tend to start to need more maintenance around five years in. So if you plan to use laundry equipment long-term, leasing may be a better option for you.

Appearances and Upkeep
You’ll want to consider your time and budget for the upkeep of your laundry spaces. Offering a top-notch and professionally run laundry room keeps tenants for longer. Having an on-site laundry facility available is a huge advantage for residents.

Providing multifamily laundry equipment is part of the selling point for properties. It boosts your property’s appeal. Residents want to know their laundry room is clean, safe, and nice to use.

Residents love to know they can do laundry without lugging their dirty clothes off property. They can pay easily and they have more privacy than at the laundromat.

If you buy common-area laundry equipment upfront, you can update whenever you want. But that also means you’ll need to pay for each upgrade. It also means you’re responsible for signage, instructions, and updates to machines, payment management and collections.

The benefit of leasing is that there is often no out-of-pocket costs and you can still get a healthy share of the revenue. Plus, the company you lease with will provide you signage, and instructions.

They will also manage payments and collection for you. They may even be able to help your residents transition to mobile payment options. Your laundry room will be modern and attractive thanks to the leasing agreement.

Repairs and Maintenance
The average family in America does up to ten loads a week. When multiple families use your laundry room, it’s no wonder you’ll need to do some repairs.

If you opt for full ownership, you may still want to opt into a service-only agreement. You can do this even if you purchased the equipment yourself.

If you own the machines, this means you can hire your own repair people or buy parts on your own as per your wishes. This is a great pro if you’re looking for complete control over how you do repairs.

You’ll find a 360 laundry room solution to be a better option for you if you want more support. When you lease machines, then service calls, and repair are part of the lease.

This is a pro for you if you’re busy and want to outsource problem-solving. Residents will know they have prompt help on the way and you don’t have to keep track of all the loose ends.

Also, keep in mind the number of residents you’re managing. The more machines you’re using, the more likely you’ll need repairs and updates. In that case, leasing may be the better fit for you.

Which Laundry Service Should You Choose?
There’s no right answer, only the right choice for your needs. Once you’ve considered the budget, repairs, and upkeep that you have time for, you’ll need to decide.

If you opt for ownership, the biggest pro is your control. You may choose to purchase equipment only or add-on services.

But when it comes to updating machines, putting up signs, payment management, collections, and repair, you’ll be responsible. You pay a bigger expense upfront, but will not pay a monthly leasing fee.

If you opt for professional laundry services, you partner with a company. They’ll take on a lot of day-to-day responsibilities.

Repairs, installation, maintenance, signs, and upkeep of the space will be part of the deal. You don’t have any out-of-pocket costs with this option.

Instead, you share revenue with the professional laundry service via your lease agreement. This provides you more flexibility and less day-to-day responsibility.

Work With an Experienced Partner
Now you know the different aspects of choosing a laundry service to keep in mind. You can make an informed decision based on your business needs. From leasing to purchasing, you can be sure the option you go with will support how you run your properties.

You’ll want to make sure you’re partnering with experienced professionals. Are you looking for repairs and service only, to buy machines? Or do you want more support and a 360 deal for your laundry room?

For property owners or multifamily managers, the purchase of laundry equipment is a major consideration that should not made suddenly or lightly.

When it comes to multifamily properties, the importance of professional laundry room design cannot be overstated. Every aspect of planning and design must be given careful consideration, as each can affect the efficiency and success of your laundry facility – not to mention the satisfaction and safety of your residents. Studies have shown that proper laundry room design will improve resident satisfaction, decrease risk of fire or catastrophe, and allow your facility to stand out as a true amenity to current and potential residents. Many factors, including resident demographics, facility size and more can dramatically alter the formatting and design choices of your laundry room. Continue reading below for our best advice on the subject…

Room Layout
Develop the room layout first, including placement of dryers and their coinciding venting. As with all machines, laundry equipment needs to be serviced regularly to continue operating optimally. Plan your laundry room layout with enough room around and behind equipment to ensure there’s adequate space for a service technician to work. You may choose to include a sink in your laundry room. While not an absolute necessity, a sink can be a very handy fixture in a laundry room.

Machine Placement
If possible, place dryers near outside walls for maximum venting efficiency. Keep in mind the wall behind your dryers must meet the required fire safety ratings for your property. If your facility is on the larger side, or your demographics are mainly families, it’s common to arrange washers and dryers in clusters. However, in a smaller facility, we have found that 2×2 or 4×4 machine groupings can increase usable space and make your facility feel larger and more open. Speaking of washers, install your water heater near washers to minimize travel distance of hot water and maximize efficiency. Be sure to surround your water heater with proper fire-rated walls as well.

Flooring and Seating
The floor of your multifamily laundry facility should be composed of troweled concrete, with a slope to help direct any spills or overflow towards drainage installed in the floors. Nothing holds up to repeated abuse and moisture like concrete. If you chose to include a sink in your room design, be sure to install a drain with accompanying slope to account for misuse or overflow. Even if space is limited, it’s a good idea to provide adequate seating for your residents. If your primary demographic is senior citizens, ample seating becomes a necessity.

Lighting and Safety
Design your facility with safety and security in mind. Installing glass walls, panels and partitions are an excellent way to provide a luxury appeal while improving the personal safety of your residents. Place entryways in highly visible, high-traffic areas when possible. Abundant use of fluorescent lighting or energy efficient LEDs also will improve the safety of your facility through visibility. The goal is to eliminate any personal danger through absolute visibility throughout your laundry area.

Folding Tables and Other Hardware
You must provide a minimum of six square feet of tabletop space per resident for folding clothes. You can approximate the number of simultaneous residents that could potentially fold by examining your resident portfolios cross compared with the number of dryers. Generally, the greater the number of dryers, the greater the amount of folding space required. It is always better to have too much, rather than too little, folding space.

Payment and other vended items also should be considered when finalizing the room design. Bill exchangers or card-reload machines may require direct AC power, as will any other vending device. This is a great time to consider installation of mobile payment hardware as well, to enable your residents to pay contact-free with their cellphones. Besides the essentials, consider what your residents would enjoy having access to while doing laundry. Wifi and televisions are a common request.

Join us as we take an in-depth look into self-operating your common area laundry room, including: the how-and-why of multifamily laundry room design, detailed equipment model information, buying guidelines, and expert management tips so you can run your laundry facility like a professional.

Operating your own common-area or shared laundry room can be a very fulfilling and profitable enterprise when properly established. But what makes a laundry room successful and alluring to residents?

 

1. Multifamily Laundry Room Design Tips

The most important aspect of establishing and running your own laundry room is the design. A well-planned laundry set-up can make a world of difference with resident attraction, as well as affect your laundry room’s energy efficiency. Let’s dive in.

• Place dryers on outside walls for most efficient venting. Adhere to fire and safety codes.
• Arrange washing machines and dryers in clusters or banks to keep things convenient and to improve the room flow.
• Supply clothes-folding areas with a minimum of six feet of table space per expected user.
• Use glass walls and partitions to maximize visibility and security.
• Consider the addition of a sink or two to your layout — they come in handy.
• Floors should have plumbed-in drainage and a slope to encourage liquid towards the drains.
• Install laundry equipment and furnishings with ease of movement in mind. Washing machines and dryers should have enough clearance for a service technician to access it easily.

 

2. Washer and Dryer Availability

If purchasing your laundry machines, look for dependable, high-efficiency top brands like Speed Queen, Maytag and Whirlpool commercial machines – they are designed to endure the heavy use and demands of a busy common-area laundry. Let’s take a closer look at their features.

• Front-Load High Efficiency Washers (Speed Queen SFNNCASP115TW01, Maytag MHN33PDCWW, Whirlpool CHW9160GW) – Use less water during cycles, while extracting more water from clothes, making them quicker to dry.
• Top-Load Washers (Speed Queen SWNNC2HP115TW01, Maytag MAT20PDAWW, Whirlpool CAE2745FQ) – Traditional agitator-style washer. These typically cost less upfront, but use more energy and water, making them pricier in the long run.
• Heavy-Capacity Washers – Has the capacity to handle larger loads.
• Stackable Dryers (Speed Queen SSENCAGW173TW01, Speed Queen SSGNCAGW113TW01, Whirlpool CSP2940HQ) – Stackable dryers are great for small or large laundry rooms, saving floor space.
• Stackable Washer/Dryer Combos (Speed Queen STENCASP175TW01, Speed Queen STENCASP115TW01, Maytag MLE22PDAYW, Maytag MLG27PDBWW, Whirlpool CET9000GQ, Whirlpool CGT9000GQ) – These stackable units are great for saving space, making them ideal for in-unit laundry.

Consider buying from a company that specializes in selling multifamily laundry machines, such as WASH Multifamily Laundry Systems, that has a well-stocked inventory of commercial washers, dryers and parts for immediate delivery. Also, be sure to ask about the option of washer and dryer installation and service.

3. Resident-to-Machine Ratio

Apartment resident demographics can alter this ratio, based on expected usage. See below.

• Families – 1 washer/dryer per 8 to 12 units
• Young Working Adults – 1 washer/dryer per 10 to 15 units
• Older Working Adults – 1 washer/dryer per 15 to 20 units
• Students – 1 washer/dryer per 25 to 40 students
• Senior Citizens – 1 washer/dryer per 25 to 40 units

 

4. Payment Methods and How to Price for Laundry

If you’re self-operating your laundry room, payment and pricing may be a concern. Typically, laundry machines can be outfitted to accept coin or card payment, as well as contact-free mobile payment. While pricing too low can cut into profits, pricing too high can cause residents to go off-site for laundry. Compare against the local competition, including laundromats, and consider commissioning a market analysis to help determine proper vend pricing.

 

5. Common-Area Laundry vs In-Unit

In-unit washers and dryers can be extremely convenient and alluring for residents, allowing them access to a machine when they need it. However, opting for in-unit laundry can have its drawbacks as well. Namely, in-unit machines have the potential to create property damage if misused or not maintained. Running a common-area laundry also has higher profit margins compared to in-unit installations. Plus, shared laundry rooms have the benefit of saving on energy and water usage, decreasing average number of loads per unit, therefore decreasing operational cost and further increasing profitability.

It’s time to switch to cashless payment!

Consumer behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic has created scarcity in surprising ways. It all started with toilet paper. Later, flour and yeast disappeared from shelves. Now the pandemic’s strange patterns of scarcity are coming for your pocket change.

The normal flow of quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies through banks and businesses around the country has slowed to a trickle. People are hanging on to their coins—from a lack of places to spend or redeem them, a fear of spreading the virus and other reasons.

In response, Kroger has stopped giving coins back as change for cash purchases, and Walmart has asked consumers to use a card or pay with correct change. Other stores are following suit. “Spare change” is not what it used to be, and your residents may be hard-pressed to come up with the coins they need to do their laundry.
