Assess Your Unique Laundry Requirements
It’s crucial to evaluate the laundry requirements of your nursing home or long-term healthcare facility. Consider factors such as the number of residents, average daily laundry loads, types of items to be laundered (bed linens, towels, clothing), and any specialized needs (e.g., infection control protocols). By understanding your laundry needs, you can make informed decisions when choosing the right commercial laundry equipment. H-M will help you analyze your needs and arrive at a solution that will provide you with the optimal mix of laundry machines.
For example, a large facility with a high volume of laundry might require a mix of large capacity and smaller capacity washers and dryers to handle varying size loads efficiently.
