Laundromat Newsletter July 2021

For years I've had a blog with tips on recruiting and other topics that I've sent to customers and clients. I've now added a section for laundromat owners.

Once a month I send out a short newsletter with links to a few of the articles/tips that I've written.

If you are interested in reading the article just click the link.

You can also search my blog for other topics or just click on the "laundromat" section.

I'm always looking for ideas to write about and I welcome articles you write.

! hope you find this useful.

Thank you!

3 Tips for Hiring Laundromat Workers

Hi and welcome to the July Newsletter for Laundromats!
Since EVERYONE has been having a hard time hiring, I thought I would concentrate on that in the hopes of helping you find some good people.
In my career previous to the laundry industry, I spent 15 years helping companies hire workers through various means.
In my time at WASH, I've had to hire over 105 employees.
Some hires were easy.
Some took a long time.
Below are the links to three of my most successful tips from my blog. Just click on the link to read them.
There are other hiring tips on my blog too, so feel free to search for them.
I hope at least one of these pays off for you!

I appreciate your patience with this email format. It is a new program for me, and I haven't quite mastered this program. Why don't they leave all the buttons that I'm used to where they were 10 years ago on these programs?!

Maytag MHN33 Front Load Washers: What to do in case of:

ZERO MINUTES or SUDS on screen and lots of water or soap in machine or SPIN OUT clothes for customer

1. look on the screen
2. if it says "zero minutes" then machine was unbalanced either by too much clothes or something stuck to the inside of the tub
“Suds” means TOO MUCH SOAP was used
3. no refund because directions weren't followed for proper usage
4. open door
5. redistribute clothes inside washer or spread out amongst multiple washers

Gettysburg Address by Andy Griffith and Don Knotts

 

Usually on the 4th of July I post the Gettysburg Address. I'm doing the same this year, however in a different version. You might recognize the two gentlemen reading it.

Happy birthday America!
