A look inside the Dependable Laundry Solutions scoping process for your laundry room.

Not every machine is right for every job — and getting it wrong can cost more than you think. Breakdowns, inefficiencies, short equipment lifespans and compliance risks often come back to one simple issue: the system wasn’t scoped properly, and your laundry room will fail. 

At Dependable Laundry Solutions, we’ve spent over 55 years helping Australian businesses build smarter, more reliable laundry operations. As the exclusive distributor of Maytag Commercial equipment in Australia, we combine built-to-last machines with the structured support needed to make them perform long-term.

Here’s how we make sure the equipment we recommend is the right fit, and why that pays off long after installation.

Step 1: We ask the right questions about your laundry room.

Every engagement starts with a scoping conversation. Before we talk part numbers or prices, we need to find out: 

• What are you washing? (Linen, uniforms, towels, heavily soiled items?)
• How often are you washing? (Per day, per week, by season?)
• Who’s using the equipment? (Staff? Guests? Students? FIFO?)
• What space, utilities, and layout constraints are in play?
• Are there compliance or hygiene requirements that must be met?

These answers shape everything that comes next

Step 2: We find what actually fits. Your laundry room is different.

From here, we apply our experience to match equipment to your reality. That means assessing whether you need a commercial or industrial solution, and which features will save you time, money, and stress over the system’s lifetime. Your laundry room should be made to suit your needs. 

For example: 

• For aged care and health facilities requiring consistent disinfection temperatures, we may recommend our industrial-grade soft-mount washers, which are designed to hit thermal hygiene benchmarks while maintaining high load throughput
  
• For student villages, boarding houses and communal laundries. The AD-30x2Ri Industrial Stack Dryer delivers durable performance in a compact footprint — with dual 13.6kg pockets, reversing drums, and payment flexibility for guest use
  
• For high-frequency use in tough environments like minesites, we focus on ease of servicing, robust performance and usage efficiency. The MHN33PN Maytag Commercial Front Load Washer delivers durable performance with low water use (~40L/cycle) and a DuraCore™ drive tested to over 15,000 cycles
  
• And for sites being directly accessed by guests or residents, we offer fully integrated cashless payment solutions, including retrofitting to existing equipment to boost efficiency and profits 

Step 3: We support it properly.

Every system we supply is backed by:

• Structured installation and commissioning by our team or trusted partners
• On-site training and handover where required
• Preventative maintenance plans to keep you ahead of problems
• Real-time troubleshooting and fast part replacement

We’re not here to disappear after install. We’re here to make sure your laundry works now, next season and five years from now!

The Dependable Promise

We’ve seen what happens when machines are misapplied. Over-specced machines that cost more than they save. Under-specced ones that burn out early. Poor layouts that bottleneck workflow or fail to meet compliance.

That’s why our scoping process is built around making sure your system fits your operation — not the other way around.

If you’re planning a new laundry fit-out, reviewing an old one, or just need advice that goes beyond “off the shelf” options, let’s talk.
