How to Protect the Tops of the Washers

We just installed 8 brand new stainless steel front load washers. Customers are putting their detergent bottles and hamper baskets on the tops of the washers. Is there any type of product we can buy to put atop the washers to protect them from the scratches and soap spills?

K-Mart is not the first to try this concept

There is limited economy of scale for a Laundromat so it is likely this concept will not spread to many other K-Mart locations. 7-11 tried the concept and quit. Kinko's copy centers also tried the concept but failed. The profit margins are also small compared to what corporations expect to earn. Besides rent, what can a large corporation do better? Utility costs are not cheaper, labor is not cheaper and professional management is more costly. The income earned per square foot in Laundromats is far below the acceptable standard of most retailers. The quality of the service provided by individual Laundromat owners is hard for a corporation to duplicate.
