Why manual dosing does not work in self-service
- The customer adds what they think they need (almost always far too much)
- Foam overflow and residues left on the fabric
- Complaints about poor results or skin irritation
- Uncontrolled product consumption
- No way to establish a predictable cost per wash
- An amateur-looking business
