Industrial Laundry Prices: Pay Attention to These Details

Very often a superficial evaluation of industrial laundry prices leads the hotelier or restaurateur to choose the dry cleaner that offers the service at the lowest cost .

This price compression, which occurs in many sectors, nevertheless hides pitfalls, more for the customer than for the supplier! Want to know what they are? Keep reading the post.

Because ecology doesn't mean higher costs

We have decided to be one of the first ecological industrial laundries in Italy , while being aware of the importance of price for our customers .

However, we have always chosen not to skimp on the quality of fabrics , the quality of detergents and the quantity of equipment in use.

In fact, these three elements, if poorly combined to lower the cost to the customer, can generate a series of hidden costs in the management of your hotel or restaurant.

What to consider beyond the cost of washing and delivery

The factors that generate the most problems and delays in the management of table linens and hotel linens are the following:

• Size of the linens provided : A linen supply that isn't adequate for the hotel or restaurant's actual needs means that the room (or dining room) housekeeping staff won't have the right items available on each floor. The hidden cost is obvious: the staff's time spent searching (on other floors) for the missing linens, and possibly waiting for an unscheduled delivery. For this reason, calculating the correct linen supply is crucial.

• Fabric quality : Even with eco-friendly washing and sanitization technologies that maintain the softness and appearance of linens, industrial washing gradually wears out a hotel's linens. It's therefore essential to choose linens made from durable, high-quality fabrics (guess what: this is where industrial laundries, focusing solely on price, save the most), but above all, ensure you receive an automatic maintenance service and discard of worn linens. Here too, the hidden cost arises from your staff's need to replace linens, or worse, from customer dissatisfaction (perhaps finding a worn and holed pillowcase...).

• Warehouse management : Delivery scheduling is just the tip of the iceberg. For a hotel or restaurant, real-time inventory monitoring is essential to be able to respond proactively to peak workloads. Our customers love our automatic inventory tracking service because it prevents unnecessary unscheduled deliveries and wasted time.
