This stunning Caravan Park located in the Northern Rivers Region has undergone a remarkable transformation in its laundry operations over the past few years, thanks to the implementation of Aqualogic’s solutions. As a prominent accommodation provider consisting of 52 cabins and 155 campsites, including glamping tents and architecturally designed villas, the park is situated on a sprawling 28-acre property that offers breathtaking views of one of New South Wales’s most beautiful beaches. With such a magnificent holiday destination, it is only fitting that the park’s laundry and linen services match its overall excellence.
Existing Laundry Set Up
Previously, the park’s communal laundry was equipped with outdated machines that were long overdue for replacement. As well, the in-house laundry facility featured a hard-mount rigid washer that lacked heating capabilities. This posed significant challenges for the park’s laundry operations. Firstly, the low spin speed of the rigid mount washer left bulkier linen items significantly wet, resulting in extended drying times. Additionally, the absence of heat compromised the hygiene standards of the laundry, further exacerbating the situation. To make matters worse, the rigid mount washer was not suitable for the flooring on which it was installed. Such washers transmit their powerful vibrations to the floor, making it crucial to have appropriate flooring that can withstand the impact without sustaining damage. Unfortunately, in this case, the vibrations not only affected the laundry area but also vibrated into a nearby cabin, causing discomfort for guests on occasion.
Laundry Upgrade
Fortunately, since 2020, the Caravan Park has taken proactive measures to address these laundry-related issues. They have replaced several of their shared coin-operated washers and dryers with state-of-the-art laundry equipment, including 4 x IPSO CW10 Front Load small commercial washers and 3 x IPSO CS10E stacked small commercial washer-dryers. These robust machines have proven to be highly efficient and reliable, providing superior laundry services to the park’s guests. Additionally, the installation of cashless systems on these machines has enhanced convenience and ease of use for visitors while significantly reducing administrative work for the staff. The IPSO CW10 front-load small commercial washer, a popular choice among caravan and holiday parks, offers exceptional durability and energy efficiency compared to standard domestic washers. Its front-load design not only saves on energy and water but also delivers superior wash results compared to top loader washing machines. Meanwhile, the IPSO CS10E stacked washer-dryer combo is an ideal space-saving solution, making it perfect for laundries with limited space or those aiming to maximize their laundry capacity.

Superior Hygiene Standards
In their commitment to achieving superior hygiene standards for accommodation linens, the caravan park also made significant upgrades to their on-premise laundry. They replaced the outdated rigid mount washer with an advanced IPSO IY135 13.5kg softmount commercial washer. This upgrade necessitated a small utility upgrade to accommodate the washer’s three-phase power requirements. However, the benefits were well worth the investment, as the new washer provided the much-needed heating capabilities. When dealing with the dirty laundry from accommodations, it is imperative to combat various types of soils effectively. This is where a heated washer becomes essential, ensuring thorough disinfection. To achieve optimal disinfection, a washing machine requires three critical elements: proper agitation, the correct dosage of chemicals (such as chlorine bleach, known for its effectiveness), and a minimum temperature of 65 degrees Celsius for a straight 10 minutes or 71 degrees Celsius for 3 minutes (higher temperatures and longer durations are even more beneficial).

Reliable Laundry Equipment
Thanks to these significant improvements, the holiday park now boasts reliable laundry equipment in its coin laundry, complete with a cashless payment system that offers the utmost convenience to its guests. Furthermore, the on-premise laundry guarantees superior hygiene by employing a machine that effectively disinfects all linen. Importantly, the vibrations that once intruded upon guests’ stay have been eliminated, providing a tranquil environment for a truly memorable holiday experience. The park’s laundries now perfectly complement the beauty of their surroundings and the quality of their accommodation offerings.
This caravan park’s journey towards enhancing its laundry operations has been a resounding success. By embracing Aqualogic’s cutting-edge solutions, they have overcome the challenges posed by outdated equipment and subpar hygiene practices.
