Perform Laundry Extract Cleaning Inspection using eAuditor
Laundry Extract Cleaning refers to the process of cleaning and maintaining industrial or commercial washing machines, specifically the extractor portion. This extractor is the part of the machine that spins and drains excess water from laundry after it’s been washed, and regular cleaning ensures optimal functioning and prevents buildup of detergent residues, dirt, or mold.
Conducting a Laundry Extract Cleaning Inspection using eAuditor helps ensure your laundry machines are properly maintained, clean, and functioning efficiently. Follow these steps for an effective inspection:
-
Create a Laundry Extract Cleaning Template in eAuditor
Start by creating a detailed checklist within eAuditor. Key sections should include:
- General Information
- Date of inspection, location, and inspector’s name.
- Specific washing machine(s) or extractor(s) being inspected.
- Extractor Cleaning Steps
- Drum Cleaning: Clean the drum to remove detergent residue, fabric softener, and other buildups.
- Disinfection: Sanitize the drum and interior, ensuring they are free from bacteria, mold, or mildew.
- Filter Cleaning: Inspect if the filter has been cleaned or replaced, and if there are any blockages.
- Drainage System: Ensure the drainage system is clear and water can flow freely.
- Functionality Check
- Spin Cycle Test: Test the extractor to ensure it’s working efficiently during the spin cycle.
- Water Extraction: Ensure proper water extraction and remove any remaining water from the drum.
- Inspection of Components: Check the belts, motors, and other mechanical parts for wear and tear, and ensure all parts are functioning as expected.
- Exterior Cleaning
