Mac Gray Unfolds Next Generation Laundry System

Starting at four Massachusetts college campuses this fall, students can do their laundry without putting their own detergent into the washing machine. Using Mac-Gray’s innovative PrecisionWash™ system, liquid detergent is injected directly into the wash cycle – by the machine itself.

For students at Babson College, Endicott College, the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts and Tufts University, that means no more buying, storing and lugging detergent to the dorm laundry rooms. No more figuring out just how much detergent to pour into the machine. No more clothes ruined by excess detergent. PrecisionWash™ also means cleaner laundry rooms, no detergent containers to buy, store and eventually throw away, and less risk of damage to floors and equipment.

"Students love the convenience. They no longer have to lug around heavy containers of detergent," said Patricia Klos, Director of Dining and Business Services at Tufts University in Medford, Mass. "Our students often shop without the convenience of a car, so that’s important. The cost is comparable to buying detergent in the store, and PrecisionWash™ is a pay-per-use system so there’s no need to buy and store family-size containers that may never be totally used.
