Apartment or condominium management is a very predictable job, but it is not easy. Your job is to make sure the residents are happy, the units are filled with tenants, and the cash flow keeps flowing.

Just imagine that a couple, who is searching for that perfect upscale apartment or condominium to rent, thinks they have finally found it in your apartments. The lawn is beautifully kept and the landscaping is amazing. As they arrive at the property, the pleasing architectural design gives them a peaceful sense of well being and a "coming home" feeling. With a kitchen that is a cook's dream with modern appliances and lighting, high-speed internet access, and a perfect floor plan, the vacant unit is exactly what they are looking. Everything seems just perfect, but they want to see the community laundry room before they sign the lease. As the main facilitator, you reluctantly walk them to the laundry room and, when the door opens, WHOOSH! They are taken 50 years into the past.

The laundry room is very crowded since it is Saturday morning. Every machine is running at full capacity, some of the residents are fighting over who gets to use the next available dryer, and a man in the front is complaining because his quarter is wedged in the coin slot. That's a great way to lose two customers! The two people escape the laundry room, mumble "We'll let you know," and sprint for their car. There must be a better way to approach this situation.

Wouldn't it be great if you could feel proud and insist on displaying the well-equipped laundry room rather that doing so only reluctantly? By using the Clothes Care Center, you will have well-maintained quality equipment and convenient coinless and cashless systems. You will prove to your residents, both current and new, that you care about their quality of life.

With Clothes Care, a coinless "smart card" system is used to access the machines. In today's age of automation, many buildings use a pre-paid access card rather than quarters for the laundry. An access card can be recharged at any time by using a debit or credit card. Access cards are prepaid and can be purchased by all residents, which benefits both the business and the renters. Utilizing a pre-paid access card makes a laundry room safer from vandalism and break-ins because no cash of any kind is available on the premises.

However, the distinctive features of coinless machines don't stop there. LaundryAlert is an internet-based system that allows residents to monitor washers and dryers via their computer, cell phone, or PDA. Residents will be able to know, real time, when a washer or dryer is available and even when their own laundry is done. Residents can check the availability of machines and ask for an email alert when machines become available or when their laundry is done. Tracking the cash flow through your business is also easier with enhanced technology. Through the use of accountability statements you will be able to trust that your commission checks are accurate and that all income is documented and accounted for.

Many services are available, so make sure to do a side-by-side comparison of the laundry services that are offered by other businesses. When selecting a company for laundry room services, it is important to consider customer service, costs, outstanding maintenance and repair, and accurate revenue data.
