Why Domestic Machines Are Not Suitable for Care Homes: Critical Risks and Compliance Issues
While they may have less-intensive capacity requirements than, say, hospitals or healthcare facilities, even the smallest care homes have unique laundry processing requirements. That’s why you need a commercial laundry equipment that’s designed to meet these needs, not a domestic model that’s underpowered and ill-equipped.
Large Capacity Commercial Washing Machines
Large washing machines have a capacity of 20kg+, with some XL units capable of processing loads of up to 180kg. Of course, size isn’t everything, which is why you can expect the same levels of efficiency, durability and performance from these machines as you can from other JLA commercial laundry appliances.
What Makes a Washing Machine “Commercial” or “Industrial”?
The main difference between commercial and industrial washers is the load capacity they’re capable of handling, coupled with their expected daily usage.
Typically, commercial washers handle smaller cycles less frequently, though they’re still a powerful ally for your business. JLA offers commercial washing machines for sale across a variety of sectors, including care homes, hospitality businesses and launderettes.
