Energy efficiency in industrial laundries is often treated as a checklist — faster machines, better ratings, newer technology. In practice, the reality is more complex. This episode looks at which features in industrial washing machines genuinely influence energy use, and why results vary so widely between laundries using similar equipment.

Rather than focusing on brands or promises, the discussion explores extraction performance, water and heat use, system interactions, and the operational factors that shape real outcomes. It’s a grounded look at how energy efficiency works — and sometimes fails — in everyday laundry operations.
