Athletic laundry rooms work hard every day. From uniforms and towels to practice apparel and training room items, your washers and dryers handle heavy loads and demanding conditions that can lead to unexpected breakdowns if equipment isn’t properly maintained.
Fortunately, a few simple steps can help keep your operation running smoothly.
Small Maintenance Tasks Prevent Big Problems
Daily habits like cleaning lint screens, checking airflow, inspecting door seals and watching for unusual noises or slow drain times can help identify issues before they become costly repairs.
Proper load sizes also play an important role. Overloading machines can place unnecessary stress on motors, bearings and suspension systems, shortening equipment life and increasing downtime.
Equipment Downtime Impacts Your Entire Program
When laundry equipment isn’t performing properly, practices, travel schedules and game-day operations can all be affected. Longer wash and dry times also increase labor, water and energy costs.
Set Up a Preventative Maintenance Schedule with Your Distributor
The best way to maximize equipment life and avoid unexpected failures is to partner with your local distributor for regular preventative maintenance.
Scheduled service can help:
- Identify issues before they lead to breakdowns
- Improve washer and dryer performance
- Extend equipment life
- Reduce repair costs
- Minimize disruptions during peak seasons
Your distributor can inspect machine operation, check controls and bearings, verify chemical systems and clean critical components to keep your laundry running at its best.
