How to prevent downtime, reduce repairs, and keep operations running with Eaco
Clean clothes may be what your customers see, but behind the scenes, it’s clean operations that truly keep a laundromat or dry cleaning business successful.
Missed maintenance leads to breakdowns. Breakdowns lead to delays. And delays lead to unhappy customers and lost revenue.
That’s why a consistent, well documented maintenance process isn’t a nice to have it’s essential. But if you're still relying on spreadsheets, sticky notes, or memory, you’re setting yourself up for things to slip through the cracks.
This guide breaks down exactly what needs to happen daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly to keep your machines running at their best. And throughout, we’ll show how Eaco helps you manage it all seamlessly, with less manual effort and more visibility.
Why Maintenance Matters

Employee efficiency: A clean, organized environment supports a more productive team.
Brand perception: Every surface, scent, and spotlight contributes to how people see your brand.
