1. Why Laundry Needs an Eco Upgrade
Did you know that the average American household uses over 13,000 gallons of water per year just for laundry? Multiply that across an entire community, and it adds up fast.
Traditional washers waste water and energy, while older detergents contain phosphates and dyes that can harm waterways. At Washerman’s Laundromat, we’ve rethought every part of the process to reduce waste without sacrificing cleanliness.
Our goal is simple: cleaner clothes, cleaner community.
2. The Power of High-Efficiency Machines
Every washer and dryer at Washerman’s is a high-efficiency model, meaning it uses up to 40% less water and 30% less energy than standard home units.
These commercial-grade systems:
- Use smart sensors to adjust water levels automatically.
- Shorten cycles without reducing performance.
- Extract more moisture during spinning, cutting drying time in half.
That means your clothes experience less wear, you save time, and the planet saves resources.
3. Eco-Safe Detergents Make a Big Difference
Not all detergents are created equal. Many household products use optical brighteners, phosphates, and synthetic fragrances that linger on fabrics and pollute wastewater.
Our eco-friendly detergents are:
✅ Biodegradable and phosphate-free
✅ Fragrance-optional for sensitive skin
✅ Concentrated, reducing packaging waste
✅ Tested for performance at low temperatures
It’s a smarter way to get your clothes fresh—without harsh chemicals or unnecessary residue.
4. Cold Water = Clean and Green
Contrary to old habits, hot water isn’t always better. Up to 90% of laundry’s energy use comes from heating water.
Washing with cold water:
- Protects colors and fabric elasticity
- Saves energy instantly
- Works perfectly with modern detergents
At Washerman’s, our systems are calibrated to cold- and warm-water precision cycles, delivering the same deep clean while cutting the carbon footprint of every load.
5. Sustainable Packaging and Reusables
When you choose our Wash & Fold pickup service, your clothes are delivered in reusable blue Washerman’s bags, not disposable plastic.
We also:
- Recycle cardboard detergent containers
- Use paper-based garment tags instead of plastic
- Encourage customers to reuse their pickup bags every week
Small changes add up—especially when hundreds of customers participate.
6. How We Reduce Waste Every Day
Beyond the wash floor, sustainability runs through our daily operations:
- LED lighting throughout the facility
- Smart thermostats to reduce unnecessary heating and cooling
- Filtered water systems for machine longevity and purity
- Digital receipts to minimize paper use
Every system is designed to lower environmental impact while improving the customer experience.
7. Eco-Friendly Tips for Laundry at Home
Want to make your home laundry routine greener? Try these simple swaps:
- Wash full loads only—fewer, larger loads save water.
- Use cold water whenever possible.
- Air dry lightweight clothes instead of using a dryer.
- Skip dryer sheets—use wool dryer balls instead.
- Choose concentrated detergents to reduce plastic waste.
Eco-friendly laundry isn’t just better for the planet—it saves you money on utilities and helps your clothes last longer.
8. The Community Impact
By upgrading our operations, Washerman’s has saved an estimated 300,000+ gallons of water annually compared to older machines.
That’s water that stays in the ecosystem—supporting local communities and reducing strain on municipal systems.
We’re proud to be part of a growing group of eco-conscious small businesses in New Jersey that are leading by example.
9. Commercial Clients and Sustainability
Many of our commercial clients—like gyms, salons, and restaurants—choose Washerman’s not only for reliability but also for sustainability.
Cleaner machines mean cleaner linens, and our energy-efficient systems help them align with their own environmental goals. When your business promotes sustainability, your customers notice—and appreciate it.
10. The Future of Laundry: Cleaner and Smarter

- Ozone disinfection systems for chemical-free sanitization

Our commitment to sustainability isn’t a trend—it’s our standard.
