The Basics of On Property Hotel Laundry

Choosing to bring your hotel's laundry needs onsite offers many advantages to hotel owners, employees, and guests. From managing linen costs to ensuring that there is an adequate supply of linens on hand for arriving or current guests, having your laundry onsite makes meeting these needs easy and convenient. If you need a hotel washer or commercial dryer in North Carolina, call T & L to save time and money.

One of the biggest concerns in the hospitality industry is the linens. You want to keep them bright and white and ensure that there are enough on hand during busy times. When your hotel sends your linens out, you are at the mercy of a vendor to bring you linens that meet your cleanliness expectations as well as their delivery and pickup schedule. This poses a potential inconvenience for your guests and staff and it also adds significant cost to your bottom line.

Bringing your laundry in-house helps you meet the needs of your employees and guests while obtaining the level of cleanliness that you expect for your guests and their linens. In order for your on premises laundry to be successful, you must establish a proper workflow for your housekeeping staff. From timely collection of soiled linens to keeping clean linens in a separate storage area, procedures must be put in place from the beginning to help make your laundry run more smoothly.

Linens should be sorted by type, color, soil level, and size. Sorting the loads will make it easier to choose the proper water temperature, spin cycle, and products to use to achieve the desired level of clean. Both Speed Queen and Continental offer washers and dryers that allow you to set multiple presets for your most commonly used configurations of temperature and spin speed. Many washers boast spin speeds that extract so much water your linens may be able to skip the dryer and go right to the flat finisher. For more information on these products, ask your T & L sales representative.

Avoid overdrying your linens. Overdrying or overheating linens causes their fibers to break down more rapidly. This will increase your hotel's need to replace these items more frequently. Choose a dryer that will allow your linens to cool down after the drying cycle and prevent wrinkles by occasionally tumbling the load. A tumble setting will eliminate additional work for your staff by reducing the amount of pressing that needs to be done by hand.

If hotel uniforms are laundered onsite, the hotel saves money by not sending them out to be laundered and employees no longer have to worry about washing their uniforms at home. Laundering onsite also helps you make a great impression on your guests with crisp looking uniforms on all of your staff.
