Can anyone suggest a good company to use and how long is the average contract and what do they pay for the right to provide service?
Join the Conversation Comments (2)We use this company and I don't like them because: 1. The dryers are disgusting. Whenever I use them I haave to first get a screwdriver so I can remove the lint trap. It is the only way to actually clean the filth out (poor design). I line dry my clothes so I don't have to put my clean items in them to pick up the filth. Their front load washers are no better than a cheap top loader. I do not understand why co-ops rent when the could purchase deluxe and energy efficent machines. That is what I would do if I had any say in the matter.
I too say caution is needed. My building installed machines that recycle water (the last person's rinse is the same water for the first wash for the next person). While this does save water, kind of, (often a second wash is needed to fully clean something). Also, when shareholders in my multi-unit building found out about the water recycling, acceptance was not universal, to put it mildly (however, it might be a great thing for a single family home).
In my opinion, it seems that the laundry companies are taking a rental building mentality and trying to fit it into an owner building reality. Owners expect and are due better services.
We are reviewing the contact again. For use, the biggest issues are:
• Not using recycled water
• Having longer wash cycles
• Having pre-wash cycles that actually work
• Adding washers
• Go for the adding time on the laundry card via the internet.
We have one compliment, we like the gas dryers very much!

Be very careful how you arrange this. Remember that the building has to pay for electricity and water usage. Use the most efficient machines available only(front loaders) and make sure the dryers can be used in intervals (say 25 cents for five minutes) and NOT a set amount of time as they tend to over-dry laundry that way.
