Types of Laundry Business

Hi friends, this time I will share information about the types of laundry businesses according to what I have learned from various resource persons that I have learned before running a laundry business at home. Let's get started.

In its development, the laundry business is also subdivided into several categories according to the designation, the type of goods in the laundry, and also the laundry capacity charged by each entrepreneur. Here are some types of laundry businesses that you should know so that later you can choose which one suits your abilities and target market.

1. Laundry Kiloan

The kilogram laundry business allows you to wash large amounts of clothes at once. This makes it easier for laundry entrepreneurs to wash because they can directly carry out the washing process in one machine and not mix with other customers. It is also considered cheaper because it saves time and effort. For customers, they must first collect dirty clothes until they reach the minimum set weight to get a cheap price. The equipment needed to open a kilogram laundry business is an automatic washing machine that can also dry clothes.

2. Coin Laundry (Laundromat)

Coin laundry is a laundry that applies a washing process with a machine that is run through the purchase of coins. Usually customers will buy coins to run the machine and do the washing independently from the beginning until the clothes are dry and ready to be folded. The price for this coin laundry business is cheaper than conventional laundry or kilogram laundry because customers are directly involved in the washing process. Laundry entrepreneurs only rent washing machines and dryers and are not responsible for clothes washed by customers. Customers who use this coin laundry service usually maintain privacy for the clothes they wash. However, the capital to open a coin laundry business is quite large because the machines needed are quite expensive.

3. Shoe Laundry

In addition to washing daily clothes, there is also a shoe laundry specially made for washing shoes. It seems like a trivial business, but in big cities washing shoes clean with professional staff is quite in demand. Especially for collectors of antique shoes and hobbies. Of course, a shoe laundry with advanced skills and equipment is a guarantee so that expensive shoes and hobbies are well maintained.

4. Conventional Laundry

Conventional laundry is the most common and is often used as a laundry business in several places because it targets people who want to wash specifically. For example, there are those who want to dry clean, or clothes with more detailed washing conditions and special handling. Of course the price offered is also more expensive compared to coin laundry or kilogram laundry. Even so, the costs required to open a conventional laundry business are also greater.

5. Business Laundry

Different from conventional laundry which serves individual customers, business laundry serves laundry for a business or corporation. Usually the customer of a business laundry is a company to wash the uniforms of its employees. To open a business laundry business, of course, requires large capital because usually companies that use laundry services wash dozens and hundreds of uniforms at the same time. Plus each company has different standards that must be met by laundry entrepreneurs.

6. Hotel Laundry

From the name we can know that hotel laundry focuses on providing laundry services for the needs of a hotel. Cooperation with hotels is of course a burden in itself but also has potential. Almost the same as business laundry services, you need to prepare a special machine to wash hotel room equipment such as bed linen, bed covers, curtains, and so on. Not to mention the varied clothing of hotel guests, so you have to be prepared with various types of textiles.

7. Express Laundry

This type of express laundry promises speed in the process. A customer is willing to pay a high price for clothes that are washed and have to be ready to wear in a short time. To open this express laundry service, it means that you need a fast washing machine and also employees with high expertise and dedication to be able to prepare everything quickly according to predetermined standards.

So, those are some kinds and reviews about the laundry business. After I studied and got the knowledge, I finally chose to run a laundry business in kilos and shoes.

Determine the market, take the moment, do it and reap the results.
