Washing Machines

At Phuket Laundry, we attach great importance to choice of the right washing machines. Criteria used include quality, production capacity, maintenance requirement and load limit. Phuket Laundry operates a large number of commercial washing machines with a wide range of production capacities from 450 pounds to 200 pounds and to 125 pounds to handle linen from hotel guest room and a wide variety of towels. After washing machine operators perform soil sorting functions and weigh the laundry, each washing machine is loaded according to its load limit. Ecolab laundry chemicals are automatically pumped into the washing machine according to the chosen operation program suitable for each linen type. All linens having received laundry treatment from our professional staff members are whiter, cleaner and brighter.

Aside from conventional commercial washing machine, we also operate commercial washing machines with Lagoon integrated laundry system, and dry cleaning machine. Both fully automated machines are used for processing clothes of all fabric types, from wool, genuine leather, artificial leather, bead-decorated and sequined items etc. Each model of washing machine requires specific chemicals to run effectively and therefore can perform best laundry functions on specific type of fabric as well. Being equipped with various laundry systems allows Phuket Laundry to handle a vast variety of items and meet customer expectations both in terms of quality and satisfaction.

What is Lagoon integrated laundry system?

Lagoon integrated laundry system is endorsed by Woolmark Company as the ideal alternative for the care of delicate garments. The sophisticated laundry system is capable of handling a wide range of fabrics such as wool, silk, genuine leather, artificial leather, bead-decorated and sequined items etc by means of selecting laundry program that best fits with your fabric. The major advantage of the Lagoon integrated laundry system is its capability to substitute dry cleaning treatment although it is designed as a wet cleaning system.

The system uses specially formulated detergents to process laundry and remove from fabrics the dirt usually unable to cope by hydrocarbon-based chemical solvent in dry cleaning treatment. As the system relies heavily on variety of specially formulated chemicals that are expensive, charges for this laundry service are proportionally high.

Dry Cleaning or Cleaning with Petroleum-based Chemical Solvent

Dry cleaning refers to any cleaning process for clothing and textiles using a chemical solvent other than water. As petroleum-based chemical solvent does not penetrate into fiber as aggressively as water does, dry cleaning can well maintain the original color, size and general condition of laundered fabrics.
