When did you last service your commercial washing machine?

When your whole business relies on the running of commercial laundry equipment a breakdown in machinery can be costly both in terms of time and money. With regular servicing and maintenance this can be avoided.

In this blog we’re going to cover the advantages of getting an annual service and ways to maintain your machine in the meantime.

 

What Are The Advantages of an Annual Service 

  • Increased Durability: Regular maintenance increases the durability of your machinery. This prevents further repair costs / diminishing further expenses.
  • Increased Efficiency: Reverse the effects of wear and tear on your machine and restore it to the optimal working conditions.
