One of the top priorities of laundry business owners is the efficient performance of their laundry equipment. This requires regular maintenance to minimise downtime and deliver a seamless customer experience. The following maintenance tips will help upkeep your laundry equipment for better performance and profitability:
Washer maintenance
- Wipe down the drum and door seal regularly to prevent mold and mildew. Use a damp cloth and mild detergent.
- Clean the detergent dispenser drawer to avoid buildup of soap and softener residue.
- Check water inlet hoses regularly for any signs of wear or leaks. Replace them immediately if necessary.
- Clean the water inlet filters to prevent clogs and maintain water flow.
- Periodically run an empty wash cycle with a washing machine cleaner to remove detergent buildup and odours.
- Leave the loading door open at the end of each day to allow moisture to evaporate to prevent mold growth.
Dryer maintenance
- Clean the lint filter daily to ensure efficient airflow and prevent overheating.
- Check and clean the dryer’s exhaust vent and duct monthly to avoid lint buildup or blockages.
- Check cylinder daily for foreign objects to avoid damage to clothing and equipment.
General maintenance
- Schedule professional servicing for your washers and dryers at least once a year to ensure they are in good working condition.
- Always refer to the manufacturer’s manual for specific maintenance guidelines and troubleshooting tips.
