Commercial laundry operations cover a range of applications from laundromats and apartment common laundry-rooms to on-premises laundries for institutions and commercial operations, such as hotels, nursing homes, hospitals, athletic facilities, and prisons. Industrial laundries offer services for the same set of users as on-premises operations, as well as uniform, diaper, and linen services. Dry- cleaning establishments often have on-premises laundry equipment, as well. Ways to reduce water consumption by conventional laundries vary from the use of more efficient equipment to water recycling and ozone systems. For dry-cleaning operations , carbon-dioxide and silicon-based technologies nearly eliminate water use as compared with the alternative of wet cleaning . These include water-saving technologies such as water recycling and ozone equipment. Coin-operated and multi-family laundries have historically used clothes washers that are similar to home laundry equipment . Based upon information obtained from five of the major manufacturers of laun-dromat equipment, it appears that most laundromats are switching to hard-mount (bolted to the floor) equipment and, increasingly, are installing multi-load- capacity washers. The capacity of multi-load washers can exceed 80 pounds per load as compared with less than 20 for conventional equipment.
