Eco Friendly Laundry Tips
Below are several eco-friendly laundry tips you can easily put into practice the very next time you visit the laundromat!
The more water you use when doing laundry, the more energy you use and the more water you waste! While most washers have small load options that use less water than a full load, you still use more water using these settings than if you combine more of your clothes into one big washer! This is where going to the laundromat wins out over doing laundry at home. In fact, some of our customers have washing machines at home but still come to our laundromats so they can throw all their clothes, sheets, towels, etc into one big machine. Not only is this a more convenient, you can lower your carbon footprint considerably by doing so! We are proud that we offer our customers high capacity front loading washing machines that allow for this eco-friendly practice. Keep in mind too that front loading washing machines use far less water than top loading washing machines in general. In fact, they use only thirty to fifty percent of the water that top loading machines use, yet they can hold two to three times more clothes!
Use Less Energy and Water By Using Bigger Washing Machines
Coin Laundry Vs. Card System Laundry
Coin-operated and card-operated laundromats differ in several ways, including:
-
Payment
Coin laundromats only accept quarters, while card-operated laundromats can accept bills, debit cards, and credit cards.
-
Customer experience
Card-operated laundromats are more convenient for customers, who can swipe or tap to start their laundry cycle.
-
Business management
Card-operated laundromats are easier to manage for owners, who don't need to collect coins from each machine or fill bill changers.
-
Data collection
Card-operated laundromats allow owners to gather data on customer usage, which can help with business decisions.
-
Cost
Coin-operated machines are less expensive than card-operated machines.
-
Future-proofing
Card-operated laundromats are better suited to a world that is becoming less cash-dependent.
-
Promotions
Card-operated laundromats can offer promotions such as time-of-day specials and big bill bonuses.
Laundromats can also use hybrid systems that accept multiple payment methods, including coins, debit cards, and credit cards.
