Tips For Laundries

Fact

Reusing water from the washing machine’s final rinse cycle in the next load can cut water consumption by up to 30 per cent.

Ways to Save

Educate users about reducing washing requirements. For example, hotels may minimise water usage by asking patrons to hang up towels rather than leaving them to be washed every day.

Replace old equipment. Replace your conventional washer-extractor with a continuous batch washer of similar capacity. A batch washer uses a counter-current flow and can save up to 70 per cent of water and steam. The automation also reduces labour costs. Ensure your machine is rated 4-star or higher.

Set up a recycling system. Water recycling technology for laundries is now common practice. Water savings of up to 85 per cent can be achieved with these systems.
