Across Australia, communities are adjusting to drier months with rostered sprinkler days, shorter showers and renewed water wise habits. It’s a reminder that every drop counts — and for industries like hospitality, aged care, and laundromats, the responsibility to conserve water comes with both environmental and financial stakes.

At Dependable Laundry Solutions, we believe commercial laundries can play a bigger role in the greater good while also protecting their bottom line.

Why being water smart matters for businesses

Cutting Operating Cost

Water is one of the largest ongoing expenses in a commercial laundry. With utility bills rising, even small reductions per cycle add up to thousands saved annually.

Protecting Your Reputation

Guests, residents, and customers increasingly expect businesses to demonstrate sustainable practices. Being visibly water-conscious builds trust and brand credibility.

Supporting the Bigger Picture

In times of restriction and heightened awareness, businesses that take proactive steps help ease pressure on community water supplies. It’s good citizenship, as well as good business.

How laundries can save water without compromising results

Invest in efficient machines

Traditional top-load washers use around 100L per cycle. In comparison, Maytag commercial front loaders average just 40L. Over the lifetime of a machine, the difference in water saved and costs avoided, is enormous.

Run full loads

Avoid partial loads wherever possible. Every cycle consumes water, so consolidating laundry into full, balanced loads is one of the simplest ways to reduce waste.

Keep equipment maintained

Poorly serviced machines can run longer cycles or repeat rinses unnecessarily, wasting both water and energy. Regular servicing ensures machines perform at their best, cycle after cycle.

Train your team

Correct loading techniques and cycle selection go a long way to reducing excess usage. Simple operational knowledge can make every wash more efficient.

At Dependable Laundry Solutions, we’ve been helping businesses run smarter, cleaner, and more efficient laundries for over 55 years. As the exclusive distributor of Maytag Commercial Equipment in Australia, our machines are engineered for performance – delivering superior wash results with significantly lower water and energy use.

From remote mining camps to busy hotels and aged care facilities, we help operations of every scale reduce their resource use without compromising reliability. Because every litre saved today strengthens the systems we all depend on tomorrow.
