New Laundry Solutions for Hotels by Wash-plus

In an industry-first initiative, Wash-plus, based in Urayasu, Chiba Prefecture, has announced a special discount plan to coincide with the launch of multi-payment terminals for its hotel laundry service, wash+ Comfort. This new feature will allow users to process payments through touch transactions and barcode scanning, making laundry more convenient and efficient for hospitality establishments.

Special Discount Plans Available

Starting from September 17, 2025, during the Hospitality & Food Week in Kyushu/Okinawa, hotels can access an exclusive discount on the Standard model of the laundry service. This package is uniquely beneficial because it carries zero initial setup costs and charges a fixed monthly fee that includes maintenance costs. This arrangement eases the financial management for hotels, allowing them to focus on improving guest experiences rather than juggling numerous service bills. The multi-payment terminal is part of this flat-rate monthly charge, ensuring transparent monthly payments.

How to Take Advantage of the Discount

The special discount can be accessed through the launch event at the Hospitality & Food Week in Kyushu/Okinawa 2025, taking place at Marine Messe Fukuoka B Hall on September 17-18. Admission to this event is free for pre-registered attendees. For more details on registration, interested parties can visit Wash-plus’s website.

Transforming Hotel Laundry Services

The wash+ Comfort system was developed based on feedback from hotel staff in 2022, aiming to streamline laundry tasks amidst rising inbound demand and increasing long-stay guests. This innovative model plays a significant role in enhancing hotel operations as it supports SDGs initiatives by:

• - Utilizing zero synthetic chemicals and fragrances, ensuring allergen-free solutions that do not compromise hotel ambiance or brand identity.
• - Contributing to water conservation and pollution reduction, aligning with the goals of SDGs.
• - Incorporating cashless payment standard to eliminate the hassle of currency exchanges.
• - Featuring multilingual guidance for better service to international guests.
• - Automating sales and operational management online, significantly reducing the management burden of hotel laundries.

Continuous Expansion Amidst Staff Shortages

Currently adopted by numerous hotels, like the Super Hotel Premier Ginza in Tokyo, this advanced laundry solution reflects the evolving landscape of hotel operations amidst labor shortages and sustainability goals. The incorporation of such technology aligns with the broader commitment to achieving SDGs and supports the operational needs of hotels struggling with staffing issues.

Wash-plus has gained significant recognition for its efforts towards sustainability and innovation. The company received awards such as the Japan Service Award for excellence and numerous IT Innovation accolades for initiatives supporting the integration of technology to solve labor challenges in the hospitality sector. As part of the ongoing commitment to sustainable practices, Wash-plus is recognized by esteemed organizations for their impactful contributions to environmental goals.
