A Proud Installation at Hotel Verde, Cape Town

We are excited to share our latest installation at Hotel Verde, Cape Town's iconic carbon-neutral 4-star hotel. Renowned for its commitment to sustainability and green living, Hotel Verde sets the standard for eco-conscious hospitality in South Africa, and we are proud to be part of that journey with a full Electrolux Professional laundry solution.

The WH6-27 washers are designed to deliver outstanding wash performance while reducing water and energy consumption, helping businesses improve efficiency and lower operational costs, a perfect match for Hotel Verde's green ethos.

Installed alongside the washers is the Electrolux Smart Dosing system, an intelligent automatic dosing solution that weighs each wash load and precisely dispenses the correct amount of detergent, softener, and chemicals accordingly. This eliminates overdosing, protects linen quality, and can reduce chemical costs by up to 40%. Smart Dosing also conserves water and energy by fine-tuning intake based on load weight and integrates seamlessly with the machine's interface to provide usage and cost reporting, making it an ideal addition for an eco-conscious operation like Hotel Verde.

Paired with the TD6-37 dryers, known as one of the most energy-efficient dryers in its category, this laundry setup ensures faster drying times, reduced utility usage, and consistent drying results for high-volume operations.

Completing the installation is the IC63320 hot cylinder ironer, engineered to provide professional finishing results with increased productivity, smooth linen quality, and reliable daily performance.

Together, this advanced laundry solution enhances workflow efficiency, linen presentation, and overall operational productivity, purpose-built for a demanding commercial environment like Hotel Verde.
