Good company to contact if you are serious about setting up a coin or card laundry business. They do much more than sell equipment. They sell Dexter as well as other brands that are great for coin laundry businesses.

Coin Laundry Business Maintenance

Washers, Dryers, coin machines, etc. need to be maintained and fixed

You should have the idea that time or money will be needed for regular maintenance and unexpected breakdowns. Parts will cost money and so will labor.


Decisions:

• Do it yourself
• Have a distributor do it
• Hire a maintenance employee

I chose to go with a coin laundry equipment distributor that offered warranty parts processing, OEM parts, and factory trained service technicians. They even offer annual service schools, where factory personnel and their service manager teach a class on proper preventative maintenance and repair of Dexter products. I also purchased customized maintenance training where a factory service technician spent a day teaching me  how to maintain my laundry equipment.

What Brand of Washer and Dryer for a Coin Laundry?

Two big name brands to consider are Continental and Dexter.

I chose a Dexter coin washer for my needs and I wasn't totally scientific about it. The front loading Dexter Washers weigh less than a similar type Continental and are a bit smaller.

factors to consider:

- interior space or capacity of the washer
- size
- weight - did anyone say shipping?
- speed of how fast the washer spins - can mean less dry time and cleaner clothes if it spins fast
