Business of Laundry

Do you have an estimate on the amount of laundry that can be expected to be completed per hour or per shift using the Laundry University method?

Well, your question got stuck into an “approval system” that I never knew existed. Darn it.
Here’s what we know from our time studies – it takes 1/3 less time to process our way using the same amount of laundry as compared to traditional “normal” methods.
With practice it goes even faster.
The uniformity between employees or launderers is huge deal as well.
We stear away from “pound per hour” to “time to completion.”
I feel so bad you did not get an answer- argh. Colleen

Thanks Colleen!

I have been practicing but pre-treatment has really slowed me down compared to my normal productivity. Just curious if that is the norm or if I just need more practice 😉

Cheers,

The pretreatment is often the “slow part” – the trick to increase speed…once you have a feel for the soaps and how to make your own pre-measured mixes you can leave some stains for the washer…just like you do with whites. Sport Wash can take out a lot of normal body soil/dirt eliminating the need to pretreat every shirt.
