With snow, ice and flooding affecting the UK this week, businesses who send their laundry to a commercial laundry service may be struggling to get their washing collected or returned. For businesses with laundry facilities on site, this is not an issue! They are in control and can turnaround items quickly.

For many businesses, not being able to turnaround the washing process quickly is a major issue – for example, if a hotel doesn’t have sufficient clean bedclothes, it cannot get rooms ready for guests.

Benefits of an On-Premise Laundry

As well as the benefits with the current weather conditions, there are many other advantages of an on-premise laundry (“OPL”). This can apply to business such as hotels, restaurants, sports clubs, spas, gyms, holiday parks, schools and other hospitality businesses.

What are the benefits? They include:

  • Control and Independence – you have control over the process, can structure it to your business needs, and more easily react to changing requirements.
  • Fast Turnaround and Responsiveness – the time it takes to process laundry is reduced, meaning towels, bedlinen, napkins, tablecloths and other laundry can be available again the same day.
  • Quality – you can choose the right laundry equipment, chemicals and cycles for your specific needs, and train your team to achieve the quality required. This will minimise damage from the processes and detergents, and help extend the life of your laundry items.
  • Cost Savings – managing your own laundry can be more cost-effective by removing outsourcing fees, which cover costs like transportation and other third-party service costs. It also reduces the risk of unexpected price changes and fees.
  • Hygiene and Infection Control – better control of the processes, equipment, cycles used and detergents, means you reduce the risk of exposure to other sources and can implement strict hygiene and infection control operating standards.
  • Sustainability and Carbon Footprint – by eliminating the transport of dirty and clean laundry to and from the commercial service premises, it benefits the environment and is a more sustainable solution.
  • Weather – bad weather or other issues affecting transport can delay or prevent collections and deliveries. An on-premise laundry removes this risk.
