A Hotel Laundry Born from the Voices of Hotel Staff

The hotel laundry service for accommodation facilities, "wash+ Comfort," was developed in 2022, reflecting the feedback from hotel staff.

It responds to the increasing inbound demand and the rise in long-staying guests, reduces staff workload and labor, and contributes to improving facility value by achieving 10 SDGs.

◎ Reduces Staff Workload and Labor

- Cashless payment is standard, eliminating the need for change.

- Multilingual support (English, Korean, Chinese, Taiwanese) is standard, reducing the need for usage explanations.

- Online sales and operation management significantly reduce laundry management tasks.

- Separating washing machines and dryers improves operation and reduces inquiries to the front desk.

- Compact and easy-to-maintain equipment that can be installed in standard washing machine pan sizes reduces maintenance effort.

◎ Contributes to Improving Facility Value

- Allergen-free as no detergent is used.

- Reduces wastewater pollution and environmental impact as no detergent is used.

- Significantly conserves water resources by using less water compared to vertical washing machines (approx. 70% for High-end models, approx. 50% for Standard models).

- Contributes to reduced utility costs by operating washing machines and dryers only as needed.

- Blends with the hotel's luxurious and extraordinary atmosphere with our original calm exterior design, primarily in black.
