Why hosts across Kensington and Chelsea choose LPLaundry
Kensington and Chelsea is one of the busiest short-let boroughs in London: 259 buildings on our round across 9 areas. At that density a collection is a stop, not a journey.
The problem
9 areas on one round
Our fix
We already collect across Kensington and Chelsea 7 days a week. One flat or fifty, it is the same round and there is no minimum order.
The problem
One account for a portfolio
Our fix
Run flats in more than one part of Kensington and Chelsea? They go on one account — one invoice, one collection, one person to call.
The problem
Washed at our own plant
Our fix
Everything goes to LPLaundry's own plant in Wembley, under an ISO 9001:2015 quality system. Nothing is subcontracted and nothing is washed in a flat.
The problem
The changeover that goes wrong
Our fix
Order a spare set by 11am and it is with you before a 3pm check-in. That is what the third set per bed is for.

Where it is actually washed
There is one building between your linen and ours: a plant in Wembley that we own and run — not a domestic machine in a cupboard.
Across 259 buildings in Kensington and Chelsea that matters more, not less: the same wash, the same spec and the same fold, whichever door it goes through.
Both plants are ours — Wembley for production and Harrow — so nothing about your linen is subcontracted, and the quality system behind it is ISO 9001:2015 certified.

Does LPLaundry cover Airbnb laundry across Kensington and Chelsea?

How much does an Airbnb earn in Kensington and Chelsea?
Is there a minimum order in Kensington and Chelsea?
No. There is no minimum order and no contract anywhere in Kensington and Chelsea. A single property is collected on the same round as a portfolio, at the same price per set.
Do I have to hire linen, or can LPLaundry wash my own?
Both. LPLaundry can hire you bed linen, towels, bathrobes, duvets, pillows and tea towels in a consistent spec (up to 600 thread count, 700 GSM towels), or launder the linen you already own.
How much does Airbnb laundry cost in Kensington and Chelsea?
Changeover sets start at £15 for a studio or one-bed, £20 for a two-bed and £25 for a three-bed, with guest packs at £1.49. Prices are indicative; a quote is built on your beds and your turnover, and portfolios are priced on a bespoke contract.
When is the busiest season for Airbnb hosts in Kensington and Chelsea?
Guest reviews in Kensington and Chelsea peaked in October and were lowest in June over the 12 months to 19 Jun 2026. Hosts should add spare sets in the weeks before October.
Can I put several Kensington and Chelsea properties on one account?
Yes. Every property you run in Kensington and Chelsea can go on one account, with one account manager, one collection round and one invoice. The account is sized on beds and turnover, not on the number of listings.
What is the 90-night rule and does it apply here?
In Greater London a whole home can be let on a short-let basis for up to 90 nights in a calendar year without planning permission. Letting a spare room while you are there does not count towards it. It is your responsibility, not your laundry's, but it shapes how much linen a year actually needs.
