What is on-premise laundry equipment?

On-premise laundry equipment refers to commercial washers, dryers, and related systems installed directly within a business or facility. Instead of outsourcing laundry to a third-party provider, organizations process linens, towels, uniforms, and other laundry items in-house.

What types of businesses use on-premise laundry equipment?

On-premise laundry systems are commonly used by hotels, healthcare facilities, senior living communities, veterinary clinics, fitness centers, spas, restaurants, and other organizations that process laundry on a regular basis. Any business that depends on clean linens, towels, uniforms, or reusable materials can benefit from an on-premise laundry operation.

Why do businesses choose on-premise laundry instead of outsourcing?

Many businesses choose on-premise laundry because it provides greater control over operations, turnaround times, sanitation standards, and inventory management. An on-premise system also eliminates dependence on outside pickup and delivery schedules, allowing businesses to respond more quickly to operational needs.
