Revolutionizing Hotel Laundry Services with Wash+ Comfort

In a remarkable stride towards sustainability, the "wash+ Comfort" laundry solution, developed by Wash-plus Co., Ltd., has been introduced at the Toyoko Inn Sendai East Entrance. This innovative laundry service not only meets the demands of modern travelers but also aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), contributing positively to the environment and guest satisfaction.

A Response to Industry Needs

Launched in 2022, wash+ Comfort was born from the insights gathered from hotel staff, reflecting their experiences and challenges. With the increasing demand from inbound foreign tourists and the rise in long-term stays, the system is designed to reduce labor intensity and introduce automation in laundry management. This aligns perfectly with ten key SDGs, enhancing the value of facilities while minimizing environmental impact.

Key Features of Wash+ Comfort

1. Labor Efficiency: The system features integrated cashless payment options, eliminating the need for currency exchange. This allows hotel staff to focus on providing better service rather than managing cash transactions.
2. Multilingual Support: It offers standard support in four languages: English, Korean, Chinese, and Taiwanese, significantly reducing the time spent on customer inquiries.
3. Online Management: Laundry operations are managed online, which streamlines workload management for hotel staff.
4. Compact Design: The hardware of wash+ Comfort is designed to fit standard laundry pans, ensuring a hassle-free installation process and easy maintenance.
5. Improved Communication: By segregating washers and dryers, guest inquiries at the front desk related to laundry usage have decreased.

Enhancing Environmental Responsibility

The wash+ Comfort system stands out by eliminating the use of detergents, creating an allergen-free environment for guests. This innovative approach significantly reduces water pollution and conserves water resources, allowing for a water-saving of approximately 70% in high-end models and 50% in standard models when compared to conventional vertical washers.

Additionally, as the machines operate only as needed, there’s a clear reduction in utility costs for the hotel, contributing to greater overall efficiency.

Luxury and Comfort Combined

The equipment’s sleek black design blends seamlessly with the hotel’s luxurious atmosphere, enhancing the guest experience through both functionality and aesthetics.
