When guests enter a hotel room, the first thing they see is the bed. Wrinkled, uneven, or badly polished linens convey the incorrect message, even in the most luxurious surroundings. That’s why more Australian hotels, from boutiques to major resorts, are investing in automatic ironing machines to ensure that linens are constantly crisp, clean, and ready for guests.
With increased service and cleanliness standards, switching to an automated ironing system is no longer a luxury—it’s a sound business move.
The Rise of Automation in Hotel Housekeeping
Hospitality is evolving fast. Labour shortages, rising wages, and pressure to improve sustainability are pushing hotels across Australia to automate key back-of-house functions, especially in laundry. Ironing is one of the most labour-intensive and time-consuming tasks in the laundry process.
Electrolux Professional’s automatic ironing machines simplify this workflow by offering:
- Fast, uniform pressing of flatwork like sheets, pillowcases, and duvet covers
- Built-in folding and stacking modules for seamless finishing
- Energy-saving technology that cuts power use and protects linens
Key Benefits of Automatic Ironing Machines in Hotels
1. Professional-Grade Finish, Every Time
No matter how high-thread-count your linens are, they won’t impress unless they’re neatly pressed and wrinkle-free. Electrolux’s ironing systems ensure:
- Consistent heat distribution
- Accurate pressure control
- High-quality fabric presentation
This results in uniform crispness and guest satisfaction, with no hand-ironing required.
2. Save Time and Reduce Labour Costs
Manual ironing can be painfully slow, especially during peak check-out and check-in hours. With automatic ironing equipment, you can:
- Cut ironing and folding time by over 50%
- Minimise staff fatigue and repetitive strain injuries
- Redirect labour toward room preparation and guest services
For hotels facing staffing shortages or rising wage pressures, automation offers long-term relief and better productivity.
3. Handle High Volumes Without Compromise
Whether you’re running a boutique lodge in Byron Bay or a 5-star hotel in Sydney, Electrolux automatic ironers scale with your needs. Features include:
- Multiple roller widths (up to 3.3 metres)
- Output capacity of hundreds of linens per hour
- Built-in feeders and folders to eliminate manual handling

Electrolux’s ironing systems support thermal disinfection and operate at precisely controlled temperatures, ensuring:
- Bacteria and allergens are neutralised
- Textiles are not overexposed to heat
- Linens last longer, even after hundreds of washes
This aligns perfectly with post-COVID cleanliness standards and sustainability targets.
5. Smart Controls and Energy Efficiency
Today’s hospitality leaders demand data, control, and sustainability. Electrolux delivers with:
- Compass Pro® control panels for program customisation
- Moisture sensors that stop cycles at the ideal dryness level
