wash+ Comfort, a laundry service for lodging facilities developed by wash-plus (Headquarters: Urayasu, Chiba; Representative Director: Kentaro Takanashi), has been adopted by GOOD NATURE HOTEL KYOTO.

Laundry Developed from Hotel Staff Feedback

'wash+ Comfort,' a laundry service for hotels and other lodging facilities, was developed in 2022 by incorporating feedback from hotel staff.

It addresses the rise in inbound demand and long-term guests, achieves labor reduction for staff, and contributes to facility value by meeting 10 SDG criteria.

Realizing Staff Labor Reduction and Efficiency

- Standard inclusion of cashless payment, eliminating the need for currency exchange. - Multilingual support (English, Korean, Chinese/Taiwanese) reduces time spent explaining usage. - Online sales and operational management significantly reduce administrative burdens. - Separate washing and drying machines improve utilization and reduce front-desk inquiries. - Compact, easy-to-maintain equipment designed to fit standard laundry pans.

Contributing to Facility Value Enhancement

- Allergen-free, as it uses no detergents. - Reduces environmental impact by preventing drainage pollution. - Significant water savings compared to top-loading washers (High-end model approx. 70%, Standard model approx. 50%). - Contributes to utility cost reductions by operating only as needed. - Black-toned design harmonizes with the luxury and non-daily atmosphere of the hotel.
