When it comes to running a busy laundry facility, efficiency is everything.
The smoother the workflow, the better the outcomes – from faster turnaround times to improved quality and reduced operating costs. But achieving this doesn’t always mean investing in expensive new equipment or major infrastructure changes. In many cases, targeted adjustments can deliver significant improvements. At JayChem, we’ve seen first-hand how simple changes can transform day-to-day laundry operations. Here are some practical strategies to improve workflow without major upgrades.
Streamline chemical dosing
Manual dosing often leads to inconsistent results, wasted product and extra time rewashing. By integrating an automated dosing system, you can ensure the right amount of chemical is delivered every time. This not only saves time for staff, but also improves wash quality and reduces overall chemical consumption.
Optimise load sizes
Overloading or underloading machines can impact wash results and increase wear-and-tear on equipment. Training staff to load machines correctly, and using simple monitoring systems to track usage, can go a long way in improving both efficiency and linen longevity.
Standardise procedures
Workflow bottlenecks often come from inconsistent processes between team members. Standardising steps – from sorting and loading to finishing and folding – ensures staff can work more effectively, while maintaining compliance with hygiene standards.
Use data to guide laundry workflow improvements
Cloud-based monitoring tools such as JayCloud provide real-time visibility over chemical use, machine performance and wash quality. These insights help managers identify inefficiencies and implement data-backed improvements without trial and error.
Focus on preventative maintenance
Unexpected downtime can throw a workflow into chaos. Regularly servicing existing equipment and keeping on top of maintenance schedules prevents small issues from becoming major disruptions.
Partner with an experienced chemicals provider
Beyond products, the right partner provides ongoing support, staff training and tailored advice. With JayChem’s expertise, facilities can identify workflow issues and implement simple, effective solutions that make a measurable difference. Improving your laundry workflow doesn’t need to mean major investments. With the right systems, staff training and reliable support, facilities of all sizes can operate more efficiently and provide better results for their customers.
