Commercial Laundry Facility Inspection Checklist

Ensure Safety and Compliance in Your Commercial Laundry Operations

Running a commercial laundry facility comes with unique operational challenges—from maintaining industrial washing equipment to managing hazardous chemicals and ensuring fire safety compliance. This Commercial Laundry Facility Inspection Checklist gives facility managers, safety officers, and operations teams a structured, repeatable way to document inspections, track maintenance needs, and stay on top of regulatory requirements.

Built with Paperform, this template replaces clipboards and spreadsheets with a digital inspection form that works on any device. Conduct walk-throughs on a tablet, automatically route flagged issues to maintenance teams, and keep a complete audit trail of every inspection—all from one centralised platform.

Designed for commercial laundry operations of all sizes

Whether you're managing an on-premise laundry (OPL) for hotels and healthcare facilities, a linen rental service, or a coin-operated laundromat chain, this checklist covers the critical safety and maintenance touchpoints across your operation:

• Equipment maintenance logs for washers, dryers, presses, folders and material handling systems
• Chemical storage safety checks for detergents, bleaches, solvents and hazardous materials
• Fire suppression system testing including sprinklers, extinguishers, alarms and ventilation
• Facility safety walkthroughs covering exits, lighting, PPE and spill response readiness

Paperform's conditional logic means you can tailor the checklist based on facility type, shift or equipment in use, so inspectors only see the questions relevant to their area—keeping inspections fast and focused.

Automate follow-up and close the loop faster

Spotting an issue is only half the job. With Stepper (stepper.io), Paperform's AI-native workflow builder, you can automatically turn flagged inspection items into work orders, notify maintenance supervisors via Slack or email, and track resolution status—all triggered the moment someone submits the form. That means no more forgotten follow-ups or lost sticky notes, and a clear record of what was found, who was notified, and when it was resolved.

You can also connect inspection data to your CMMS, Google Sheets, Airtable or facility management software using Paperform's native integrations and webhooks, keeping your maintenance schedules and compliance documentation in sync across systems.

Built-in reporting and compliance documentation

Paperform's AI Insights can summarise trends across inspections—surfacing recurring equipment issues, common safety gaps or maintenance bottlenecks without manual analysis. Export inspection logs as PDFs for audits, or use Papersign (papersign.com) to collect electronic signatures from inspectors and supervisors, creating tamper-proof records that satisfy OSHA, insurance and facility compliance requirements.

For multi-site operations, Agency+ plans let you roll out the same inspection standard across every location while keeping data separate, and SOC 2 Type II compliance ensures your inspection records are stored securely.

This form is ideal for:

• Facility managers and operations supervisors conducting daily, weekly or monthly safety walkthroughs

Trusted by hospitality, healthcare, property management and industrial laundry teams, Paperform makes it easy to digitise inspections, automate follow-up and keep your facility running safely and efficiently—no coding required.
