Spring Cleaning for Commercial Laundry- Optimising Efficiency & Performance

Spring is the perfect time for a deep clean and maintenance check on your commercial laundry equipment. Regular upkeep not only ensures hygiene and performance but also improves efficiency, reduces energy consumption, and extends appliance lifespan. At Forbes Professional, we support businesses with user training, maintenance guidance, and periodic servicing to help keep laundry operations running smoothly.

Optimising Performance -  Simple Steps for Users

The day-to-day upkeep of laundry appliances plays a crucial role in efficiency. That’s why we provide clear digital and poster signage to remind users of key steps, such as:

✅ Emptying lint filters after every cycle -  This ensures dryers run efficiently, reducing drying times and energy consumption.

✅ Loading machines correctly - Overloading can strain the motor, while underloading wastes energy.

✅ Checking detergent use - Using too much detergent can cause residue build- up, affecting wash quality and machine efficiency.

By following these simple habits, users can help optimise cycle times, reduce costs, and prolong appliance life.

Deep Cleaning & Preventative Maintenance

Whilst daily care is essential, commercial laundry equipment also requires periodic deep cleaning and professional servicing to maintain peak performance. At Forbes Professional, we offer:

🔹 User Training for Maintenance Staff -We provide on-site guidance for cleaning plinth filters, ensuring staff understand how to maintain the equipment properly.

🔹 Digital & Poster Signage - Our signage helps reinforce best practices for users, ensuring they follow maintenance steps that improve efficiency and reduce running costs.

🔹 Scheduled Maintenance Callouts - Our expert technicians conduct preventative maintenance checks, allowing for proactive action before issues arise.

🔹 Ducting Cleaning Services - We can clean dryer ducting up to 3 metres, helping to prevent blockages that can reduce airflow and efficiency.

A preventative approach to maintenance not only extends the life of appliances but also reduces unexpected downtime - ensuring that our clients can keep up with demand without disruption.

Why Staff Training and User Guidance Matter

Commercial laundry efficiency relies not just on high-quality equipment but also on proper user operation and maintenance. That’s why we prioritise staff training, digital and poster signage, and ongoing support, ensuring:

✔️ Users and maintenance teams understand best practices for daily care.

✔️ Facilities teams can identify early warning signs of issues.

✔️ Maintenance schedules are followed consistently to prevent breakdowns.

With Forbes, organisations benefit from reliable, expert-backed maintenance and training, helping to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve sustainability.

Spring cleaning isn’t just about freshening up your space - it’s about enhancing performance and efficiency. By maintaining commercial laundry appliances properly, businesses can ensure optimal functionality, lower energy consumption, and longer machine life.
