Successfully Running a Spa with Hotel Linen Suppliers

Whether you’re in charge of a spa by itself, or a hotel with a spa attached to it, there is plenty to consider to be able to offer the best experience possible for your guests. A spa experience is normally marked by high quality, so you must strive to offer this in as many aspects as possible.

This can relate to your staff, their training, your facilities, equipment, services, prices and even your linen suppliers. All of this comes together to give a visitor the best possible visit, and hopefully have them coming back time and time again.

In this blog, Stalbridge Linen Services will guide you through some top tips for successfully running a spa, especially in relation to working with a hotel linen supplier.

The Importance Of Linen In A Spa

Linen is an essential element of every spa experience whether it's wrapping yourself in a robe after steam, or relaxing in a towel before your massage. Choosing linen for spas is often fairly different from other types of linen, as you’re looking for items that are luxurious and comfortable, as well as able to handle heavy use and lots of potential staining from spa products.

Here are some factors to consider when choosing spa linen.

Weight

When looking at towels, you’ll want to consider the weight. This is a great indication of a towel’s quality and absorbency. Normally the higher the weight, the more luxurious the towel. Towels in spas are typically between 500 and 700 GSM to provide the best experience.

Material

As mentioned above you want linen that is luxurious and comfortable in your spa, which can come down to what material is used. Cotton towels are known for their absorbency and softness, but there are many different types of cotton towels used.

Egyptian and Turkish cotton are the most common choices, with longer and finer cotton fibres giving an opulent feel.

Durability

You want to have spa linen that lasts. If you’re cheaping out when it comes to spa linen, you’ll often find yourself spending more money in the long run. Quality linen is often built to last longer, with reinforced edges and tightly woven fibres.

Durable solutions will mean your towels last longer and you won’t have to waste money replacing them often.

Softness

One of the most important factors when it comes to spa towels is their softness. Any towel that is scratchy or stiff is not going to be received well by a customer. They are there to feel relaxed and cared for, and an uncomfortable towel is an easy way to not do this.

High-quality towels are the best in terms of softness, but another key factor is how they are cared for. If they are not washed with care or poorly made, they can quickly become scratchy and stiff.

Fabric softeners are the best way of keeping your towels soft if you are washing them in-house, but for reliable softness and care, trust in a hotel laundry service.

 

Why Work With A Hotel Linen Supplier

We’ve talked about what to look out for in spa linen, but what if you don’t have to worry about any of that? You can put your trust in a company that does all this for you, such as the team here at Stalbridge Linen Services.

We are able to offer our customers reliable linen supply and linen cleaning. This consists of us delivering linen directly to your door, in the quantity you need. We are able to offer flexible terms, meaning you can easily adjust the amount of linen we deliver. This is great for adapting to popular seasons, or if you know the amount of customers you’ll be getting in one month.

Once you are done with your linen, we will then return to pick it up, taking it for high-quality linen cleaning. This consists of using environmentally friendly washing methods to ensure the linen does not lose any quality over time.

In this cycle, you will always get clean, fresh linen delivered right to your door, without having to worry with the care. Linen care can be both expensive and time-consuming, so taking this out of the equation leaves you time to run your spa properly.

Trust Stalbridge As Your Reliable Hotel Linen Suppliers

Here at Stalbridge Linen Services, we are able to offer our customers reliable linen hire, focusing on kitchen, restaurant and hotel linen. If you are a spa or a hotel with a spa, our hotel linen services can be the ideal choice for you.

 

This range can include premium bed linen and pillowcases if you are a hotel, but if you are just a spa you’ll probably be more interested in our other products, including bath robes and towels.

Guests will feel luxurious in your spa wrapped up in high-quality bath robes between treatments, and if you have a pool or similar facilities they can dry themselves off with our elite 600g towels.

Utilising our services is ideal for any business, as we are able to deliver premium linen to your door whenever you need it, then pick up and launder dirty linen, repeating the process so you never run out of clean, fresh and high-quality linen.

We also keep sustainability at the heart of what we do, ensuring we wash our linen in the most environmentally friendly way possible. If you’d like to find out how we can help, contact us today or fill out a quote enquiry and we’ll aim to get back to you as soon as we can.
