For student accommodation providers, laundry is one of those essential services that needs to work reliably in the background. When machines go down, queues grow quickly, causing frustration for students and operational pressure for managers. High-frequency usage, inconsistent wash habits and heavily soiled items mean student laundries require durable, commercial-grade equipment that can withstand constant demand.
Designing a space that works for students
Effectively planned laundry layouts create a clear workflow between washers, dryers and folding zones while ensuring adequate ventilation and drainage, and that safety standards are met. At Richard Jay, we collaborate with architects and facility managers to design spaces that are simple to navigate, easy to clean and built for long-term performance.
Smart, student-friendly payment solutions
Today’s students expect cashless, intuitive payment options. Digital laundry systems eliminate the need for coins or tokens while providing operators with real-time data on usage patterns and machine performance. These insights help accommodation teams plan servicing, manage peak times and optimise the overall experience for students.
Keeping machines running with national servicing
Breakdowns are disruptive in high-volume environments. With Australia’s largest national servicing network, Richard Jay provides fast response times, preventative maintenance and reliable spare parts access. This nationwide coverage ensures minimal downtime, predictable performance and long-term value for accommodation providers.
Supporting a positive student living experience
A clean, intuitive and dependable laundry space contributes to everyday satisfaction and can even influence accommodation choice. By combining durable equipment, smart design, modern payment systems and reliable support, student accommodation providers can deliver a laundry experience that meets expectations and keeps operations running smoothly.
