Commercial Laundry Equipment for Cape Town’s Hospitality Industry

Tourism-Driven Laundry Requirements

The Mother City’s year-round tourism season means hospitality operations face continuous linen processing demands. V&A Waterfront properties, Sea Point hotels, and Atlantic Seaboard accommodation providers need industrial washing machines and tumble dryers that deliver consistent results under constant use. Unicorp’s commercial laundry equipment combines European engineering quality with the capacity to handle peak season loads while managing Cape Town’s water scarcity challenges through efficient consumption and recycling-ready technology.

The Cape Winelands — from Stellenbosch to Franschhoek, Paarl to Wellington — has become a globally recognized luxury tourism destination. Wine estate lodges, boutique hotels, and farm stays require laundry equipment that processes both guest linen and restaurant textiles to exacting standards. Our finishing equipment from VEIT, Barbanti, and Due Effe gives these properties the pressing and ironing capabilities to maintain the crisp presentation guests expect, while our compact washer-extractors fit the space constraints of heritage buildings and farm conversions.

Cape Town’s CBD and surrounding suburbs support a thriving dry cleaning industry serving both residents and the corporate sector. Sea Point, Green Point, Gardens, and Claremont dry cleaners rely on Unicorp’s BÖWE dry cleaning machines for their multi-solvent capability, energy efficiency, and compact footprints suited to urban retail spaces. We also supply the complete range of finishing equipment — utility presses, trouser toppers, shirt finishers, and form finishers — that distinguish full-service dry cleaners from basic operations.

Beyond traditional hospitality, the Western Cape’s healthcare sector — from Groote Schuur to private hospital groups — requires specialized barrier washer technology for contaminated linen processing. Unicorp’s healthcare laundry solutions meet SANS 10146 compliance requirements with proper zone separation and thermal disinfection capabilities.
