For those in the planning stages of building a pet wash station, one crucial aspect to consider is how to keep the space clean and smelling fresh for a positive customer experience. This blog post will explore key factors, including Evolution Dog Wash’s technology, floor drains, and airflow, to help you create a hygienic and inviting pet wash environment.
Evolution Dog Wash Design and Patented Technology
Evolution Dog Wash Systems are thoughtfully designed with a focus on dogs’ comfort and safety, and we’re proud to be recognized for our reliable performance, seamless automation, and user-friendly experience.
Durable and Self-Contained
- Evolution Dog Wash systems are constructed from high-grade, aircraft-quality stainless steel. This material is known for its durability and resistance to corrosion, making it easy to sanitize and maintain. The all-in-one unit keeps the station clean and tidy with built-in shampoo, conditioner, blow dryer and tub disinfectant. This keeps all the water and hair in the unit and makes clean-up time a breeze.
Patent Pending Hair Management System
- The unique drain design efficiently channels away water and fur, preventing bacteria build up and minimizing mess and odor. It’s a quick end of day task to empty the hair basket and rinse down the machine, minimizing overhead and reducing costs.
Importance of Floor Drains and Placement Suggestions
When planning your room layout, strategically placed floor drains play a vital role in maintaining a clean and odor-free pet washroom.
Under-Machine Drain
- Installing a floor sink directly beneath the Evolution Dog Wash unit ensures efficient drainage of water and waste during and after each wash.
Central Floor Drain
- A small floor drain in the center of the room offers a convenient point for rinsing the floor and removing any stray water or debris. This setup is particularly effective, as evidenced by its adoption by Tractor Supply stores, resulting in significant time savings for their employees during cleanup.
Optimizing Airflow
Proper ventilation is crucial for odor control and maintaining a comfortable environment in the pet wash room.
Strategic Vent Placement
- An incoming air vent positioned high in the room, combined with an open-air vent located low, creates an effective airflow pattern. This setup either pulls or pushes air, depending on the HVAC system, ensuring continuous circulation and preventing the buildup of stagnant air and odors.
Avoid Pressurized Rooms
- It’s important to avoid creating a pressurized room by having only an incoming vent without an open-air vent. Such a configuration hinders air movement and can lead to a stuffy and unpleasant atmosphere. Consulting with an HVAC professional during the planning phase can help you design a ventilation system that effectively addresses the specific needs of your pet wash room layout.
By incorporating these elements into your pet wash room design, you can create a clean, fresh-smelling, and welcoming space for pet owners and their furry companions. Remember that a well-maintained pet wash area enhances customer satisfaction and contributes to the overall success of your business.
