Are you a hotel owner who is struggling to get all of the linens washed and returned to rooms in time? Maybe your staff is overwhelmed with other tasks and has trouble getting the laundry done, or maybe your facilities are simply not large enough to handle all of the laundry. There is a solution — and it's an easy one. Hire a linen delivery service. Here's a look at the benefits of hiring such a service, along with some tips for doing so responsibly.

Benefits of Hiring a Linen Delivery Service

When you hire a linen delivery service, you do not have to maintain the equipment to do the laundry yourself. You can get rid of most of your washers and dryers, and just keep a few around for emergencies. You won't have to panic if one of your washers or dryers breaks down since you'll still have clean linens coming in the next day.

Another benefit of hiring a linen delivery service is that your staff can relax and focus on other things. They can spend more time cleaning the rooms, greeting guests, and doing other things that will please your guests and help encourage them to return.

Linen delivery services also prevent you from having to sort through and remove damaged or stained linens. The service will do this for you. The linens you receive will be fresh and clean, and they'll make a good impression on your clients.

Tips for Hiring a Linen Delivery Service

If this will be the first time your hotel hires a linen delivery service, here are a few tips to ensure the process goes smoothly.

1. Call a few different linen services, and tell them what you are looking for. Get estimates so you can directly compare costs.
2. Over-estimate how many linens you will need. For example, if you have 40 rooms with 80 total beds, order 90 sets of sheets just in case a few customers request a replacement for some reason.
3. Order all matching linens. If they are all the same color, your staff won't have to worry about which color they pull out, which will save them time.

With the tips above, you can easily enjoy the benefits of hiring a linen delivery service. This is a much easier approach than trying to do all of the hotel laundry yourself. The service will drop off clean linens each morning and pick up dirty ones each night.
