Reducing a laundry’s water consumption in Morocco

In Morocco, water is a resource under pressure, and its cost weighs on the running of hotels and riads. The laundry is one of the areas where you can act without affecting linen quality.

More efficient equipment

Recent professional washers use far less water per kilo of linen than older equipment. Powerful extraction removes more water, which also shortens drying and reduces the energy bill.

Well-set programmes

A programme that is too long or has too many rinses wastes water on every cycle. Adapting programmes to the linen actually processed is often the quickest gain.

• Load the machine to its rated capacity, no more and no less.
• Dose detergent precisely: too much means extra rinses.
• Maintain valves and seals to prevent leaks.

Measure to improve

Tracking water consumption per kilo of linen processed makes it possible to spot a drift and measure the effect of a setting.

IWIN supports establishments across Morocco in this approach, from choosing equipment to setting programmes.
