The Common Laundry Room Goes High Tech

By: Joann Charamuga Home | Home-and-Family | Landscaping-Gardening


Everyone knows the feeling of needing that special outfit clean for that special occasion and trying desperately to find enough loose change to wash it at the laundromat. Thankfully, this scenario is soon to be obsolete with the introduction of the new high tech laundry rooms.

Both laundry room owners and customers will enjoy the benefits of this remarkable new technology. Electronic laundry room facilities have evolved significantly over conventional coin-operated laundromats by eliminating cash and providing more security and ease of use.

An AccessCard, which you may have heard called a "smart-card", is used to access cashless, coinless laundry machines. Value can be added to the AccessCard at any time through the use of a credit card or bank ATM card, resolving the problem of finding enough coins to do one's laundry or hoarding rolls of quarters for this purpose. Prepaying via check to increase the balance on their AccessCard for laundry charges can be an option for residents.

Only actual residents who use the smart-card system will be permitted into the laundry area from a security point of view. This helps provide security to the individual user, as well as for the equipment. It would be a waste of resources for thieves to break into and damage expensive equipment just to get the coins.

Furthermore, for convenience, some laundry room service providers offer remote laundry monitors. It is possible for the residents to avoid many trips to the laundry room, by being able to check the availability status of the washers and dryers on their personal computer. This same information could also be sent via voice-based messages directly to residents' telephones or cell phones.

Additionally, they can retrieve information as to when their laundry cycle is over, or when a certain number of machines become available. Certain remote monitoring devices are even able to predict the number of minutes remaining before the laundry is finished. Now, is that cool, or what?

This may appear to be a bigger benefit to the user than to the provider, but there are many reasons to recommend an investment in high tech laundry facilities. Beyond the benefit of not having coins to collect and to risk losing, some laundry service companies also maintain accountability systems that report totals both periodically and year to date. Furthermore, if you are offering tenants at your apartment complex, condo, dormitory, or hotel, this latest advancement technology for their laundry, you will be a step above the competition.

If your company is considering innovative technology in laundry operations, consider using a service company that employs both the latest technology and high-quality equipment, such as that offered by Whirlpool or Maytag. Pick a company that offers in-depth revenue information and coinless, cashless machines with remote monitoring abilities that make sure you are a satisfied user. The company you choose should offer unsurpassed maintenance and repair, and high tech solutions such as GPS systems on its service vehicles for speedy calls.

You won't get taken to the cleaners if you select a quality company that is capable of providing all the high tech services and equipment that you require.
