Many of these facilities rely on shared laundry rooms or in-house laundry facilities to provide residents with convenient, reliable access to clean clothing, bedding and towels.

Why Housing Associations Need Commercial Laundry Equipment
Communal laundry facilities play an important role in many housing association properties. From supported living and extra care schemes to sheltered housing, residents rely on laundry equipment that is easy to use, dependable and available whenever it's needed.
Domestic appliances are rarely designed to cope with continuous daily use in shared facilities. On the other hand, commercial laundry equipment offers greater durability, larger capacities and faster cycle times, allowing housing associations to provide a reliable laundry service while reducing maintenance costs and minimising downtime.
Modern commercial machines also help reduce water and energy consumption, supporting sustainability goals while lowering day-to-day operating costs.
With robust construction, simple controls and efficient performance, they provide a long-term solution for communal laundry rooms.

Commercial washing machines form the backbone of any communal laundry facility.
Built to withstand frequent use, they offer larger drum capacities, shorter wash cycles and improved reliability compared with domestic appliances.
At Shaw's Commercial Laundry Solutions, we supply high-quality commercial washing machines from trusted manufacturers including Domus, Electrolux Professional and Primus.
