Vended laundry refers to self-service laundry facilities where customers pay to use commercial grade washing machines and dryers. These coin-operated or card-operated facilities allow users to complete their laundry independently in a facility that is open to the public, or to residents of a residential community, such as an apartment complex or university housing. These facilities also serve businesses like Airbnbs, hotels, spas, gyms, medical professionals, salons and restaurants who may use them as backup solutions during peak periods or regularly for specialized cleaning needs.
Household laundry uses residential machines designed for 8-12 lbs. capacity and limited daily use. Commercial laundry utilizes industrial-grade equipment handling 20-100 plus lbs. per load. Commercial laundry machines, in addition to greater load capacity, are built for continuous operation, faster cycle times and durability to withstand different load types and multiple use cycles.
A typical apartment complex provides 1 washing machine per 10 units, though ratios vary based on property size and tenant demographics. Larger complexes might maintain multiple laundry rooms strategically positioned throughout the property for resident convenience.
Not likely. While possible, the risk of bed bug transmission in communal laundry is relatively low when proper precautions are taken. Bed bugs typically die at temperatures above 120°F, which washing machines and dryers exceed. Using sealed bags for transport reduces risk.
While hot water and detergent eliminate most contaminants during cycles, management must ensure the machines are regularly cleaned and sanitized to avoid the possibility of the machines harboring bacteria or residue in gaskets and dispensers. Some laundromats utilize Ozone technology to disinfect the equipment between cycles.
