Reasons Why LG’s Commercial Laundry Solutions Matter In Kenya’s Expanding Cities

Kenya is growing at a historic pace. Over the past few years, we have seen towns grow to the level of getting city status. All over the country, it is clear that urbanization is a driving force as residential and commercial developments creep ever higher and industrial areas become denser. While much of the conversation around urbanization focuses on housing and public amenities, there’s a loud surge in the drive for convenience that is driving growth across major urban areas.

Urban residents who are increasingly busy with work and social lives are looking for conveniences that make their lives just a little easier. Efficient and dependable laundry services are emerging as crucial, yet underappreciated, to this drive.

Convenience is King

From residential laundromats to hotels, hospitals, and student hostels, the demand for robust and high capacity washing systems is increasing. And LG is there to serve this market segment with the foundational tools to support the daily rhythm of growing cities and towns.

Traditional washing machines were never built for the realities of dense urban living. With thousands of young professionals spending most of their weekdays hard at work, and their weekends enjoying their hard-earned time off, a growing culture of outsourced cleaning services is putting pressure on laundry providers. Commercial facilities now process more clothes more frequently and with greater consistency and reliability than before.

In this environment, LG’s commercial laundry solutions function as the unseen infrastructure that enables apartment blocks, communal laundromats, and service businesses to operate smoothly.

Reliability and Durability

In places where laundromats run multiple cycles an hour, durability is non-negotiable. LG’s commercial laundry machines are engineered with long-lasting components. The Inverter Direct Drive drums that are directly attached to the motor make LG’s machines more durable and reliable. By eliminating the belt-and-pulley system found in traditional washers, LG have made sure that their machines have fewer moving parts, meaning fewer potential points of failure – a crucial advantage in environments where downtime means lost revenue.

In addition to the fewer moving parts, the ones that are present undergo Multi Heat Treatment in the manufacturing process that improves their durability and resistance to gradual abrasion. This way, LG’s machines have an extended operating life and fewer repairs.

Lower Water Consumption, More Savings

For large-scale laundry operations, water costs can be the difference between a sustainable business and a struggling one. LG’s optimization of water flow and wash cycles lowers overall water usage, which is both good for the environment and the bottom line.

This water savings is further enhanced by a specially-engineered 10-degree slope drum that allows the machine to push more clothes into the back of the drum, where most of the water will flow to. This reduces water usage without sacrificing LG’s superior washing performance.

Quieter, Faster, Better

LG’s advancements in commercial laundry machines also enhance user comfort. The Inverter Direct Drive paired with a Gyro Balancing System, significantly reduces noise and vibration from the machines, allowing users to focus on other tasks as their clothes get clean.

Furthermore, the machines have a Tub Cleaning System that cleans the tubs periodically, ensuring each wash is hygienic and all clothes come out spotless.

The water atomizing and twin spray feature rinses clothes non-stop while spinning, resulting in a speedier wash. For commercial laundry operations, the faster a wash is done, the more customers they can serve.

Perfect Match for Modern Living

Taken together, the durability and efficiency built into LG’s commercial laundry machines makes them perfectly suited for the realities of Kenya’s growing cities. Urban laundromats are looking to scale, institutions seeking high hygiene standards, and so many more people require machines that can handle intensive use while remaining economical to operate.

LG’s technology meets those needs by combining industrial-grade robustness with forward-thinking features.
