ClarusVibe with 25+ wash cycles
Tornado Laundromat - Texas, USA
Owner-operator, growing multi-store business
A brand-new build-out running Wascomat washers on ClarusVibe controls with more than 25 selectable wash cycles, plus automatic detergent dosing branded as an in-store service.
Cycle range is the product
ClarusVibe puts more than 25 wash programs on a full-colour screen at every machine. Delicates, heavy soil, sanitise, bedding, workwear, sports gear - each one is a named cycle a customer can pick with one touch instead of guessing at a dial.
That range does two things. It brings in loads that would otherwise never come to a laundromat, and it justifies premium cycle pricing on the machines that can run them.
Automatic dosing sold as a service
The store brands its auto-dosing as a named in-store service: detergent, colour-safe bleach, fabric softener and an all-natural hypoallergenic option, all injected automatically and able to be included in any wash.
It removes the number one friction point for a first-time customer - remembering to bring soap - and it converts a consumable into recurring revenue the operator controls rather than sells over a counter.
A machine mix built for real loads
Washers step from 14 kg through to 28 kg along a single continuous run with a granite-look counter running the full length above them, so every machine has folding surface directly at hand.
Opposite, banks of stacked dryers keep drying capacity ahead of wash capacity - the ratio that decides whether a store turns over at peak or backs up.
Finishes chosen for turnover
Polished concrete floors, tiled skirting behind the machine bases, white walls with a grey wainscot, and exposed painted services overhead. Everything is washable, nothing dates, and the whole room can be cleaned quickly between peaks.
Digital screens carry entertainment and promotions, and painted wall graphics carry the brand's voice - low-cost, high-impact and easy to refresh.
Why it supports growth
This is a store built by an operator who intends to build more. The equipment, control platform, dosing system and finish schedule are all repeatable, and the reporting behind ClarusVibe shows exactly which cycles and which machines earn.
That data is what turns a single successful store into a specification for the next one.
What this means for an Australian build
- Use the full cycle library - named programs for bedding, workwear and delicates win loads a basic store never sees.
- Turn automatic dosing into a branded in-store service; it removes friction and adds margin on every wash.
- Keep drying capacity ahead of wash capacity so the dryers never become the queue.
- Specify washable finishes end to end - polished concrete, tiled skirtings and full-length counters cut cleaning time between peaks.
