Ready to Launch Your Own Laundry Business? With LG Commercial Washers, You'll Have the Power to Start Strong

With the growing demand for quick and convenient services, laundromats have become a popular choice for busy individuals in both urban and rural areas. Limited space in homes, along with the increasing need for accessible laundry solutions, has led more people to rely on self-service laundromats for efficient laundry options that fit their fast-paced lifestyles. To meet this demand, entrepreneurs like Joy Gadrinab of Skilcraft Sales Corporation turn to LG Commercial Washers, known for their durability, efficiency, and smart technology, helping laundromat owners stay ahead.

Joy Gadrinab, Founder of Skilcraft Sales Corp.

As one of the pioneers in self-service laundromats in Mindanao, Joy shares how LG Commercial Washers have played a crucial role in her business’s growth. From overcoming initial challenges to expanding her operations, she credits LG for its reliability and performance in supporting her long-term success. As the founder of Skilcraft Sales Corporation, Joy leveraged her background as a Chemical Engineer and her experience in industrial maintenance to diversify into selling LG Commercial Laundry Machines. Her technical expertise and entrepreneurial spirit have been key in driving the success of her laundromat business.

Every business journey begins with a challenge. And for Joy, launching Splash Coinwash Laundry under Skilcraft Sales Corp. was no exception. What started as a simple observation turned into a thriving business opportunity just by filling a gap in the market. “We started Splash Coinwash Laundry because there were no laundromats in our area, especially the self-service kind of laundromats, only traditional laundromats,” she shared. Recognizing the potential, she and her team took a leap of faith. “We saw an opportunity and became the first to introduce LG Commercial Laundry Machines in our area. It was even coin-operated at the time.”

“Our main setback was our startup capital,” Joy admitted. But instead of letting it hold them back, they took a smart, strategic approach. “We overcame this setback by starting with 2 sets of machines and slowly reinvesting our income to add more sets of machines until we managed to open more branches.” Through patience, perseverance, and a clear vision, what started as a small operation steadily grew into a thriving business. Today, all Splash Coinwash branches have been renamed to Laundry Lounge, with 6 fully operational lounges in Cagayan de Oro City, Opol, El Salvador City, Iligan City, Talisay City, and Cebu City. A 7th branch is nearly finished in Tres de Abril, Cebu, while expansion continues with upcoming lounges in Surigao City, Pagadian City, and Lapu-Lapu City.

Joy believes that starting a laundry business offers great potential for growth and income. “We chose to open a laundry business, because we felt that it was very profitable and very easy to manage. We have always wanted to start the laundry business, and up until now we are still enjoying the business and our benefits. We are also lucky to become LG Commercial Laundry dealers,” she shared.

Why LG Commercial Washers?
From the beginning, Joy and her team knew they needed reliable, high-quality machines to ensure long-term success. “We have always thought of LG as the best value brand at the time, and we have always seen LG as the superior brand when it comes to quality.”

Their confidence in LG has only grown stronger over the years. “The durability of LG has stood the test of time in our laundromats for over a decade. In fact, the original machines we had when we started our laundromats are still in good condition until now.”

Our customers have been with us for years, and we are very happy that these customers are also enjoying the benefits of our newer machines: The LG Onyx C Max Models,” Joy shared. “These new machines are also easier for us to monitor, due to the new smart solution features these machines bring.”

Advice for Aspiring Laundry Business Owners
For those looking to start their own laundromat business, Joy emphasizes the importance of investing in the right machines. “The best advice we can give to any aspiring laundry shop owner is that the machines are your business partner.”

Hospital Director for Administration, West Visayas State University Medical Center, Mr. Julius Juanito - Supervising Administration Officer - Supply Department, West Visayas State University Medical Center

LG Philippines affirms its commitment to build a better community with its recent CSR initiative in Iloilo. The activity was spearheaded by LG, together with Mark Vincent Fabresis from ML Laundry Equipment and Supply and BigWash. 2 sets of Giant C Max and 2 sets of Titan C Max washers and dryers were donated to West Visayas State University Medical Center (WVSU-MC) in Region VI, modernizing their laundry facilities. The turnover event, held on July 20, 2023, was attended by representatives from WVSU-MC, LG, and BigWash, highlighting the collective effort to enhance healthcare services in the region.

LG commercial washing machines can be a game-changer for hospitals, offering numerous benefits that streamline their laundry operations and improve overall efficiency. With their advanced technology and large capacity, these machines can handle the high volume of laundry generated, including bed linens, towels, and staff uniforms.

Powering both the Giant C Max and the Titan C Max machines is LG’s Inverter Direct Drive. Unlike the traditional belt and pulley, the LG Commercial Laundry drum is directly attached to the motor providing superior durability and reliability. Less parts equal less repairs.Even with its size and large capacity, the noise of both models are also greatly reduced. Multiple dampers absorb vibration and reduce noise creating a quieter washing environment.

Blessing of the Hospital laundry area

The washing machine donations provided tremendous help for the medical center, which serves as a laboratory for the College of Medicine, Nursing, and Dentistry. Dr. Gelito of West Visayas State University Medical Center shares, “I was elated (of the donations). Laundry services is a backline service of the hospital. Yet it is an important service because we’re able to provide clean linens and sheets. With these donations, it will lighten the load of our personnel.” Mr. Fabresis mentions that we he heard about LG and BigWash’s project in one of the hospitals in Manila, he also hoped that he can do something for the Ilonggos at the WVSU.

Going into detail, Ms. Marylouie Gatuz, Product Marketing Manager for Commercial Laundry, discusses “Both machines help keep the hospital linens fresh, crisp, and germ-free. The Giant C-Max is equipped with a two-step hygiene care laundry system. The first step ensures that our machines are sanitized before, during, and after each load, while the second step is meant to sanitize your fabrics, killing 99.99% of germs and viruses. With this technology, the day-to-day laundry operations of West Visayas State University Medical Center has been a breeze.” Ms. Janille Umali, B2B Assistant Marketing Communications Manager of LG, speaking about the donations, stated “It is important that we go back to one of LG's core values, which is human-centered innovation. We chose to focus on health and hygiene because we believe that these are the two things that help the healthcare industry thrive.”

Maxi Clean Laundromat Underscores Importance of Product Trust in Starting a Business

With any business, the foundation of trust is important. You have to believe your employees, your partners, and of course, the products or services you’re providing. It’s crucial that you can stand behind the product wholeheartedly because if trust erodes, it will be almost impossible to repair.

This foundation of trust is how sisters Claire and Minette started the successful Maxi Clean Laundromat chain in the province of Bulacan. Before everything else, they looked for a business partner that they already know and can rely on. Minette gives her own experience with LG washing machines as an example. “We chose LG because we have an LG washing machine at home that we’ve been using for ten years already. When we started the business, we went for machines that we know are reliable.”

Manny Villagracia, Minette’s husband, handles the technical side of things of the business and is all smiles with how he can manage the machines remotely. “I can diagnose, troubleshoot, and monitor the day to day operations and even assist our laundry care experts to troubleshoot the machine anytime anywhere.” And it’s not just Manny who is happy with the LG Commercial Machines’ wi-fi capabilities. With the Laundry Lounge app, customers can reserve the machines, monitor their laundry, and even do contactless payment with the touch of a button. This gives customers the freedom to choose which machines they want with the specific time span they need. Manny shares how important this feature is. “LG empowers your customer base as if it's their own machine. (It gives them) power at their fingertips”.

When asked about their experience about starting a laundry business, their common answer boils down to trust. You have to find a brand to be your partner for the long run. Minette underscores this point, saying “Choose a brand you can trust because they will deliver in their promise of helping your business.”
