As temperatures drop and guests seek warmth and comfort, hotels, guest houses, serviced accommodations, and spas across Edinburgh face a familiar seasonal challenge: managing the surge in linen usage. From heavier duvets and fleece blankets to increased towel turnover due to longer showers and spa visits, winter brings a spike in laundry volume that can overwhelm in-house operations. Add to that the festive season’s influx of bookings, and suddenly your staff are juggling guest satisfaction with laundry logistics. The result? Delays, inconsistent quality, and rising operational stress.

Here’s how to stay ahead:

• Forecast demand early: Review last year’s occupancy and linen usage to anticipate peak weeks.

• Outsource strategically: Partnering with a commercial laundrette ensures consistent turnaround, even during high-demand periods.

• Prioritise presentation: Crisp, freshly ironed sheets and neatly folded towels elevate guest experience—especially when guests are paying premium winter rates.

• Protect your staff: Avoid burnout by offloading time-intensive tasks like ironing and folding.

• Stay compliant: Professional laundering ensures hygiene standards are met, especially critical during flu season.
