Why hosts across Southwark choose LPLaundry
We cover 94 named buildings across 14 areas of Southwark, so a flat here is on a round that already runs — not a special trip.
The problem
14 areas on one round
Our fix
We already collect across Southwark 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 Southwark? 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.

Indicative. Your quote is built on your beds and your turnover; portfolios are priced on a bespoke contract.
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 94 buildings in Southwark 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.
Questions about Airbnb laundry in Southwark
Does LPLaundry cover Airbnb laundry across Southwark?
Yes. LPLaundry collects and delivers Airbnb and short-let linen across 14 areas of Southwark, 7 days a week, and has pages for 94 named buildings in the borough. Everything is washed at LPLaundry's own plant in Wembley.
How much does an Airbnb earn in Southwark?
Is there a minimum order in Southwark?
No. There is no minimum order and no contract anywhere in Southwark. 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 Southwark?
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 Southwark?
Guest reviews in Southwark peaked in October and were lowest in July over the 12 months to 19 Jun 2026. Hosts should add spare sets in the weeks before October.
Can I put several Southwark properties on one account?
Yes. Every property you run in Southwark 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.

Nights scaled from how similar London listings with each minimum stay book. Shorter minimums bring more bookings but more changeovers — cleaning and linen are counted.
