Benefits of Using a Laundry Route Operator
Partnering with Nina’s Laundrette as your laundry route operator offers numerous benefits for your organisation:
- No Capital Expense: Avoid the huge upfront cost of purchasing commercial washers and dryers. Outfitting a shared laundry with vended commercial equipment can cost tens of thousands of dollars, but outsourcing to a route operator lets you avoid that expense and invest those funds elsewhere. You get a fully equipped laundry room without spending a cent on equipment.
- Free Equipment & Installation: We provide and install professional-grade laundry machines at no cost to you. Our team works with you to select the right mix of washers and dryers for your space and ensures they are installed safely and efficiently.
- Ongoing Maintenance & Servicing: Say goodbye to repair bills and upkeep headaches. Nina’s Laundrette handles all maintenance, servicing, and repairs for the machines under our management. If a washer or dryer ever needs service, you won’t have to lift a finger. – our team will take care of it promptly. Every machine has a QR code for users to easily report any issues directly to us so we can address them quickly.
- Cashless Payment Systems: Forget about coin collection and jammed coin slots. Our equipment arrives with cashless payments installed – residents and guests can pay with credit/debit cards, mobile payments, or app payments. This cashless system is more convenient for users and eliminates the security and maintenance issues that come with keeping coins in machines (no more coin theft or coin jams). We can also enable coin payment if required, offering flexible options.
- Reliable, Durable Commercial-Grade Machines: Our washers and dryers are built for heavy use; they are the same machines that are installed in laundromats. Unlike domestic washers that can be overused and break down in communal settings, our commercial laundry washing machines and dryers are highly durable and have faster cycle times. The equipment is also energy-efficient and water-efficient, which helps reduce utility consumption and costs.
- Enhanced Satisfaction & Lower Utility Costs: By upgrading to commercial vended laundry equipment, you’ll improve resident/guest satisfaction. Reliable machines and quick wash/dry times lead to a better experience and fewer complaints from users. At the same time, you’ll likely see lower utility bills – because users pay per use, they tend to use the laundry as needed (no more overuse that comes with providing free domestic machines), preventing wasted water and electricity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
A laundry route operator is a company that provides, manages, and maintains commercial laundry equipment for shared laundry rooms
In practical terms, route operators like Nina’s Laundrette handle everything needed to run a communal laundry facility. We supply the washers and dryers (often at no upfront cost to the client), install the machines, set up payment systems, perform all maintenance and repairs, and manage customer service for the laundry room users. Essentially, we operate the laundry room on your behalf, so you don’t have to worry about purchasing machines, collecting coins, fixing breakdowns, or any day-to-day issues. It’s a way to outsource your laundry room management to experts who ensure it runs smoothly and efficiently.
Yes, your building or business pays nothing for the laundry equipment, installation or maintenance. There is no catch or hidden fee. We’re able to offer this because the revenue generated when residents/guests pay for their laundry cycles is how we recoup our costs over time. We carefully set a vend price that balances affordability for users while covering the equipment and service expenses. This means you never receive a bill for the machines or their maintenance.
The only upfront costs you may need to consider are any upgrades to utilities required to accommodate our machines. While most laundries have the existing utilities required to support our laundry equipment, some older buildings don’t have a 20 amp powerpoint that we need to power our electric dryers.
In most cases, no – it can actually help control or reduce utility costs compared to other setups. Our commercial machines are high-efficiency, using less water and energy per load than older or domestic models. Additionally, because users have to pay per use, they tend to use the laundry equipment only when necessary, rather than wasting water/electricity on many small or unnecessary loads (a common issue when laundry is provided for free).
Many property managers find that switching from free-to-use domestic washers to pay-per-use commercial machines significantly reduces overuse and utility waste. While your property will cover the water and electricity for the laundry room (as is standard), the efficient equipment and moderated usage mean any impact on utilities is minimal and often offset by the elimination of having to purchase machines or handle frequent repairs.
We offer flexible payment options to make it easy for everyone. All of our machines come equipped with cashless payment systems, allowing users to pay with a tap of their credit or debit card, mobile phone (Apple Pay/Google Pay).
With a cashless payment system nobody has to hunt for coins or deal with coin-operated machine issues. For communities that still prefer coin operation, we can outfit machines that accept coins as well – but we generally recommend cashless for convenience and security.
Nina’s Laundrette also provides customer support for any payment issues and can easily refund a resident or guest if a machine isn’t working as it should.
If any machine requires servicing or maintenence, Nina’s takes care of it promptly and at no cost to you. We have a support process in place to address issues fast. When we install the equipment, we also install a QR code on each machine. If a washer or dryer isn’t working properly, a resident/guest can scan the QR code to instantly report an issue. We are committed to responding to communications we receive within 24 hours.
If required, we will send a qualified laundry technician to troubleshoot and fix the issue as soon as possible. All maintenance and repair costs are covered by us (except in the case of deliberate misuse or vandalism), so you won’t be invoiced for any service calls or parts. Our goal is to keep every machine running smoothly so that users always find a working washer and dryer available. And if users have any difficulties (like a refund request for a cycle, questions on how to use the machine, etc.), our customer service is ready to assist them directly – taking that burden off you.
Getting started is easy. Simply complete the enquiry form to arrange a free consultation. We’ll discuss your specific needs, answer any other questions you might have, and walk you through the process.
