The Ljuba Voda home for the elderly, located in the peaceful village of Ljubešćica, takes care of 63 residents. To maintain high hygiene standards and make daily work easier, they decided to open their own laundry instead of using external services.
"Our residents need special care because they are older, and we wash a lot of laundry every day. Using an external service would be too expensive and slow. With our own laundry, everything is much faster and more convenient," explained Mr. Dejan, the home’s manager.
The challenge: keeping hygiene high while reducing costs
Before setting up their laundry, the home had trouble keeping up with washing needs using regular household machines.
"We were always fixing or replacing washing machines because they were not made for so much use. It was a waste of time and money, and the washing quality wasn’t good enough," said Dejan.
With so many laundry to wash every day – including residents’ clothes, bedding, and towels – they realized they needed professional machines to work more efficiently and save money.
"When we used household machines, we had to replace them every 6-7 months, which cost us even more. Also, they needed frequent repairs. In the end, we figured out that instead of using 6-7 small machines, we could do everything with just two professional 15 kg washing machines," Dejan explained.
The solution: professional LG laundry equipment and detergent dosing pumps
After careful planning, the Ljuba Voda home chose LG Titan washing machines and dryers with automatic detergent dosing pumps. This equipment turned out to be the perfect choice for their needs.
"These machines are easy to use, save electricity, and have automatic detergent dosing. That helps us reduce costs and makes work easier for our staff," said Dejan.
They had planned the laundry room from the start when the home was being built, so setting up the equipment was simple. Also, one staff member is responsible for running the laundry, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
Mr. Dejan was especially happy with the automatic detergent dosing:
"The dosing system is great. We save a lot because the machine uses the exact amount of detergent needed. The staff is happy too because there’s no mess or wasted detergent," he added.
Delivered equipment:
- 2 x LG Titan MAX washing machines (15 kg)
- 2 x LG Titan C Light electric dryers
- 2 x BW dosing 3 pumps for detergents
Delivered services:
- Installation
- Training
The results: saving time and handling large amounts of laundry
With professional machines in their laundry, the home now enjoys many benefits. The LG 15+ kg washing machines can handle large amounts of laundry with just a few cycles per day.
"Now we do only four big washes a day, while before we had to do up to twenty! Household machines would run all day. Now, employees can do other work while the laundry is being washed," said Dejan.
Besides saving time, the home also reduced costs because the automatic detergent dosing system prevents waste. The quality of washing has improved too, which is very important for elderly residents who need high hygiene standards.
Today, the Ljuba Voda nursing home cannot imagine working without its in-house laundry. Thanks to professional washing machines and dryers, they have improved their service and made daily work much easier.
"If we had known how much easier this would make our job, we would have done it much sooner. I strongly recommend other homes like ours to consider setting up their own laundry because, in the long run, it saves time, money, and energy," Dejan concluded.
