There are many commercial sectors in which obtaining impeccable washing of the linen used for the relevant professional activity is of enormous importance to ensure that cleanliness and hygiene translate into a better service for customers.
Whether you’re purchasing professional laundry machinery for a hotel, gym, healthcare facility, laundromat, or anywhere else outside your home, choosing the best equipment will increase productivity, quality, efficiency, and value for a long time term for your business.
As a business owner it is essential to consider all the tools that help your business increase profits. Professional laundry machinery represents an investment for your business and it is essential to choose the best washing machines and dryers that are durable, reliable and built to last.
However, the term “professional” has no accepted industry standard for laundry equipment; therefore any machine can be marketed as professional grade regardless of its design, components and longevity. Just because a washing machine has a coin-op or is sold as commercial laundry equipment, doesn’t mean it was built to withstand the rigors of coin-op laundry and on-premise laundry (OPL) service.
When selecting machines for your laundry room, consider these factors to determine whether the equipment is suitable for a professional environment.
Criteria for real commercial laundry equipment
Designed for professional use
Most professional laundry equipment starts with residential equipment that is modified and disguised as professional-grade equipment. True professional laundry equipment should be designed from the ground up and be able to withstand the demands of high-volume, heavy-use environments.
Highest quality components
A machine is only as good as its parts; Professional laundry equipment cannot be considered high quality as a whole unless it is built with sturdy, durable and wear-resistant parts. Many machines that companies advertise as professional contain the components of a home machine.

Longevity
Equipment sold as commercial often exhibits longevity in terms of expected years of service. However, this calculation is often based on a low average number of loads per year.
For example, a machine used once a day in a residential environment may last many years: but subject to the high volume demands of commercial use, the expected years of service will decrease dramatically. Instead, look for a machine that measures longevity in terms of cycles:

Less maintenance
True professional laundry equipment can meet commercial needs without the need for frequent maintenance and repairs. The direct and indirect costs of repairs and out-of-service equipment can directly impact your bottom line, making it even more important to ensure from the outset that the laundry equipment you choose is truly professional.
Sustained rotation
The G-force rating is used to describe how fast a washing machine spins during the final spin cycle, where the faster the spin, the better it extracts water. Higher G-force is better; however, a more critical factor in water extraction is the machine’s high spin cycle time. In a true water-efficient professional washing machine, high G-force combined with an extended spin cycle ensures maximum water extraction to save time, money and service.

Choosing the right equipment for your laundry room
Understanding the difference between equipment advertised as professional and equipment that is truly professional is a critical factor in selecting the best machines for your business. A longer life designed and built for professional use with high quality components, will allow you to provide excellent service.
