How much is it costing you to not be on our linen program?
We asked Midstate Electric, an appliance distributor, and Sunriver Water to supply us with figures to determine what it costs to do a load of laundry. We estimate that it costs you approximately $1.00 per load. It takes the average home 3-4 loads to complete the laundry and with 30-40 reservations per year it costs you approximately $90 to $160 to do your laundry annually.
We also analyzed the cost to purchase and replace your own towels and linens by using Costco prices. There needs to be at least 3 full sets of towels and linens in a rental property so an average sized home that sleeps eight will require approximately $1200 worth of linens (3 x $400). A conservative attrition rate is about half of one set, once a year. That equals an average of $200 of replacement costs per year (1/6 x $1200 = $200).
So you are spending approximately $290 to $360 more per year by not being on our linen program.
Even if you only were spending $200 on attrition and laundering, after 5 years, you will have spent $1000. This same home could join our linen program for approximately $440, saving close to $600 over five years.
That doesn’t include any potential revenue you could be losing by not consistently having high quality linens in your home.
Here are 5 more reasons to join our linen program:
1. Linens provided to guests are more consistent in quality and condition.
2. Housekeepers now have more time to clean your home instead of doing laundry.
3. A centralized laundry facility provides a more efficient, consistent and sanitary method for cleaning sheets and towels.
4. Wear and tear of your washer/dryer is decreased.
5. Owners no longer have to worry about the replacement of linens that become soiled, damaged or just worn out.
