Commercial washers run many more cycles than a home machine and add coin or card systems, heavier drives and, on larger machines, bolted-down frames that home models do not have. The Santee list below starts with companies that mention commercial, laundromat or multifamily laundry work within a longer drive, followed by the nearest appliance repair companies.
