The Top 5 Commercial Laundry Misconceptions

Thinking about outsourcing your linens? Don’t let these misconceptions stop you from investing in a quality commercial laundry service! Here are 5 widely-believed myths about commercial laundry and why they’re simply not true.  

Myth #1: Commercial Laundry Services Are Too Expensive

Truth be told, some laundry service providers do charge very steep prices, especially for call-in service or non-customers. But with the right service provider, you can rest assured that the service you’re getting is competitively priced and worth every cent of your investment. In the hands of the right commercial laundry service, you can count on valuable savings in more than one area. At the top of that savings list is the time you’ll reclaim because you won’t be trying to run your own private laundering service.

Myth #2: Commercial Laundry Services Aren’t Necessary

Setting up your in-house laundry facility can only end in one of two ways: (1) you get overwhelmed by the responsibility and the costs of the facility, or (2) you end up with subpar results that may even cost you more money on repairs for equipment and replacements of your linens. Hiring a commercial laundry service actually means that you hand over the responsibility, headaches and frustrations to another partner. It may come with a fee, but it does not come with stress, as long as you’re doing business with the right service provider.

Myth #3: Only Large Companies Need a Commercial Laundry Service

Many business owners think that outsourcing linens only benefits large facilities. What these business owners don’t realize is that, just like large companies, their smaller businesses will gain the same benefits of efficiency in terms of costs, better results, and more time to focus on important operational concerns.

Myth #4: Commercial Laundry Service Companies Only Wash Linens

Most laundry service companies, like Crown Linen, do more than just laundry. We provide linen rentals for restaurant, hotel, and healthcare linens and uniforms. And it goes beyond linens – we also offer mats, paper, air fresheners and microfiber cleaning products. But it’s more than just the service and the products that we provide. What we really give our clients is peace of mind. They can rest easy knowing that their linens are in the hands of people who have the expertise and the experience necessary to carry out the job with excellence.

Myth #5: Commercial Laundry Services Cause Delays

Delays are one of the biggest concerns of business owners because of the monetary losses they can cause. That’s why topnotch laundry service providers like Crown already have established contingency plans in place to avoid delays. At Crown, every item is accounted for; through the arrival, treatment, post-wash, tagging, delivery, replacement or repair processes, we monitor everything so delays are avoided before they even begin.
