KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • You can use outdoor storage lockers with combination locks for linen exchange in houses with gardens, simplifying access for commercial linen companies.
  • Consider hiring cleaning companies that also manage linen logistics, potentially simplifying operations despite higher costs.
  • Be aware of fire safety risks associated with storing freshly laundered linens due to static electricity buildup.
  • For apartment rentals, working with cleaning companies that handle both cleaning and linen services can streamline operations.
  • Individually wrapped linen packs for each bed type can improve inventory tracking and cost management.
  • Regular fire risk assessments by competent professionals are crucial for property safety.
  • Building good relationships with reliable cleaning services is essential for successful for your business to run smoothly and efficiently.

    • BEST MOMENTS 

    "The amount of fires that are actually caused across the UK by static electricity that's created by these towels and sheets and pillowcases turning around in these massive commercial grade tumble dryers... the statistics actually are off the charts."

    "If you have a company that are willing to bring the linens with them... I think that would solve the majority of the problems."

    "Finding good cleaners is a painful part of this business, finding good cleaners, cleaners that do the job well and cleaners that you can also trust."

    "We approach a company that does everything. You know, pretty much like you have a cleaners and bring all the linens in."

    HOST BIO

    This AirBnB Business has allowed each of them to create their own tailor made ‘lifestyle by design’.

    Pooh chose to escape the corporate life as an electrical engineer instead to spend his time at home with his young and growing family, and Alex likes to spend most of his time in sunny Spain enjoying his love for road cycling or even hiking in the Tramuntana mountain ranges.
