Why Laundromat Operators Are Switching to Laundry Labs (and Saving 62% Instantly)

Why Laundromat Operators Are Switching to Laundry Labs (and Saving 62% Instantly)

Running a laundromat is all about margins. Every cycle, every ounce of detergent, every maintenance call—it all adds up. That’s why more than 1,200 laundromat operators nationwide have already made the switch to Laundry Labs. The cleaning performance is exceptional, but the real reason owners are switching is simple: the savings are massive.

And we’re not talking about small, incremental improvements. We’re talking about a realistic, measurable 62% savings from the very first bucket.

One Bucket vs. Everything Else

A single 425-count bucket of Laundry Labs PowerPax™ replaces an entire lineup of traditional commercial products:

  • 3 bottles/582 oz liquid detergent

  • 10 bottles/440 oz fabric softener

  • 8 tubs/ 5 lb OxiClean or stain booster

When you buy all these products separately, you're spending around $313 to match the same cleaning power that our $119 bucket delivers.

That’s right:

$313 of traditional products → $119 of Laundry Labs
Instant 62% savings — before you even factor in cost per cycle.

Less storage. Less waste. Fewer SKUs to manage. A cleaner, simpler back-of-house system.

The Cost-Per-Cycle Math That Operators Love

Traditional pods and liquid detergents typically cost:

  • $0.35–$0.50 per cycle

Laundry Labs averages:

  • $0.18–$0.28 per cycle

Let’s take a realistic store:

  • 40 washers

  • 6 turns/day

  • 365 days/year

  • = 87,600 cycles per year

At $0.40 per cycle (national brands):
$35,040 per year

At $0.24 per cycle (Laundry Labs):
$21,024 per year

That’s a savings of $14,000 per year per location—from detergent alone.

Now add the 62% consolidation savings, fewer maintenance issues, less machine residue, and reduced customer overuse… and the numbers become undeniable.
