What goes wrong
Towel demand in Charlwood is not spread across the day
Almost nobody around RH6 changes towel supplier to save money. They change because the same thing went wrong three weeks running.
-
Running out at the evening peak
Towel demand stacks into roughly two hours rather than spreading across opening. A par count set on a daily average leaves the Charlwood rack empty exactly when the floor is busiest.
-
Towels that come back smelling
A towel can pass inspection dry and fail it in use. Oil left in the fibre only announces itself once the towel warms up, which is after it has reached a member.
-
Stock that never quite balances
Loss is normal and predictable. Pretending otherwise is what turns a towel account into a reconciliation exercise nobody wins.
How it works
Four steps to a Charlwood club on the round
Most of the work happens before the first collection. Get the peak-hour count right and the towel rack stops being something the duty manager thinks about.
-
The count
We count at peak because that is the only hour the par level has to survive. Every other hour looks fine on any count.
An hour, at peak
-
The round
The van is already in RH6. Joining that round is what keeps a single studio priced as a stop rather than a journey.

The switch
The changeover in Charlwood overlaps by design — new stock lands while the old contract is still running.
No gap in service
-
The account
One name, who has seen your floor at peak. Changes get made on a call rather than logged as a ticket.
One name, not a queue
Running more than one club around Mole Valley? The same account manager covers all of them, on staggered days so no site is left short.
How it is processed
Your Charlwood stock, washed by us and nobody else
There are two buildings between your towels and ours, and we own both. Charlwood collections run 28.1 miles to our Wembley plant. Nothing is passed to a third party in between.
Softener is the usual culprit behind a towel that stops absorbing: it coats the fibre. Gym stock runs without it, which is why ours keeps drying rather than smearing.

Changing supplier is not the January risk Charlwood clubs think
The reason Charlwood operators put up with a supplier they have stopped rating is timing: there is no good week to gamble on towels. That is a scheduling problem, not a reason to stay.
- Before you commit
We count your peak, not your average
We count the Charlwood floor between five and seven rather than take a number off your last invoice — the invoice records what you were sold, not what the rack needed.
- The handover
Stock lands before the old supplier stops
The two contracts overlap on purpose, so no Charlwood evening is covered by rationing what is left on the rack.
- After
Par counts adjust once we have seen a month
Month one is a measurement. From month two the par count reflects your real peak and your real shrinkage rather than an opening guess.
Nothing here needs you to be out of contract first — the count and the quote cost nothing.
The week you switch is the week nobody notices.

Grooming generates heavy, fur-filled towels and specialist bedding that a standard machine cannot handle. Everything is collected and returned allergen-free, fluffy and sterilised. Top marks for taking on the difficult jobs.
Natasha Petrov Head Groomer & Manager · Pet grooming & daycare -
Whether we are catering a wedding or a corporate launch, linen presentation has to be immaculate. We get crisp, vacuum-sealed table linens and pristine chef jackets every time — a genuine operational ally.
Julian Bennett Executive Director of Operations · Catering & event production -
Our membership expects discretion and immaculate standards. Dining room linens and guest suites are laundered to a bespoke standard, and the discretion around our account has been absolute.
Alistair Finch Club Secretary & General Manager · Private members' club -
Running a high-end spa means going through hundreds of bathrobes and spa towels daily. Our rotation stays fully stocked with exceptionally soft, hygienically pristine textiles. Guest comfort has noticeably improved since we switched.
Siobhan O'Connor Spa Operations Director · Luxury health club & spa -
Our members expect fresh sweat towels immediately after back-to-back spinning classes. They handle our daily volume seamlessly, and I would single out the punctuality and the clean, long-lasting scent of the eco-friendly detergents.
Marcus Thorne Studio Manager · Boutique fitness studio -
We rely on clean bolster covers, fleece blankets and eye pillows. Delicate fabrics are treated with care while still getting a deep, hypoallergenic sanitisation, and everything comes back beautifully presented.
Hannah Sterling Studio Coordinator · Yoga & pilates studio -
LP Laundry has been an absolute game-changer for our 45-room boutique hotel. Turnaround on our bed linens and heavy plush towels is inside 24 hours without a single delay. We could not be happier with the crisp, immaculate finish.
Charlotte Vance Front of House & Accommodation Manager · 45-room boutique hotel -
For high-end short-stay apartments, guest reviews live and die by linen quality. We get hotel-grade crispness that consistently earns us five-star cleanliness ratings, and the communication lines are short when something needs resolving.

The area
Why Charlwood is collected the way it is
A historic village that retains its medieval charm and timber-framed buildings despite its location bordering a major international airport. Unique to Charlwood.
Clubs here sit on the RH6 round, and the hour that matters is the evening peak rather than the morning — Charlwood is close enough that a disrupted run is a second trip that day.

Charlwood questions, answered
Which round covers Charlwood?
Yes — Charlwood sits on the RH6 round, 7 days, 28.1 miles from our Wembley plant.
- Shared with Horley, Salfords and Leigh — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single studio sensible to price.
- Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, which is what 28.1 miles buys you.
- Multi-site operators run on staggered days, so no club is left short while another is being collected from.
What does a towel account cost in Charlwood?
There is no honest price list for towel work. Towel volume depends on member numbers and how hard the floor turns over, so a published list would be wrong for most clubs.
- We count a real week in Charlwood before quoting — including the evening peak, which is where every estimate falls over.
- The count includes January — peak months are the ones the par count has to survive.
- No minimum order — size barely moves the per-item price.
- The count and the quote cost nothing — including while you are still under contract elsewhere.
How do you stop us running out at peak?
By counting against your peak rather than your daily average. A Charlwood floor gets through more between five and seven than across the rest of the day combined.
- We count on site at the time it matters — an hour on the Charlwood floor at peak tells us more than a year of delivery notes.
- A Monday evening and a Sunday morning are different businesses — which is why the count is taken twice rather than once.
- January is planned in — a Charlwood club in January is not the same club in August, and the account should say so.
- If you run short twice, the count is wrong — a second shortage is a counting error, not bad luck.
Can we keep our own branded stock in Charlwood?
Both, and mixed accounts are normal. The two sit on one invoice and one round.
- Hire — we own the stock, replace what wears out and carry the cost of a towel that greys in month two.
- Wash-only — your own branded stock comes back to you, the same items, not pooled.
- Most clubs split it — hire what nobody looks at, keep your own name on what a member wears.
- You can move a line between the two later — clubs often start on hire and move the spa side across once branding is settled.
Do you do treatment room linen too?
Yes. One collection, two specifications. The gym side is judged on whether the rack is full; the spa side on how the robe feels.
- Robes are laundered to keep their handle — softness is the point on a robe, and it is achieved by the wash rather than by softener.
- Bath mats run on a heavier classification — than towelling, and mixing the two shortens the life of both.
- One collection, one invoice — the split is in the classification, not in the account.
- Hotel spas are a normal account — and the hotel laundry page covers how the rooms side is priced.
What is the commitment for an Charlwood account?
No long-term tie-in and no exit fee. Nothing in the agreement is designed to make leaving awkward.
- Terms flex with seasonal demand — you are not held to a peak figure through a quiet quarter.
- Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — the count and the quote commit you to nothing.
- Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — the two overlap by design.
- If it is not working, say so — most problems are a wrong par count or a wrong delivery window, and both are fixable without changing supplier.
Why do our towels stop absorbing?
Because the wash was wrong, not because the towel is finished. The towel smells fine cold and dry, then smells again once it is warm and damp — which a member notices before you do.
- Gym towelling runs on its own classification — Charlwood towels are classified for the soil they actually carry.
- Oil needs a different temperature from sweat — one general cycle addresses neither properly.
- Towels that stop absorbing are usually over-softened, not worn out — that is a wash problem, not a replacement problem.
- Every load is temperature logged — and the log sits against your account, not a general plant figure.
How is stock reconciled on a Charlwood account?
Every Charlwood club loses towels, and an account that pretends otherwise turns into a monthly argument about counts.
- Expected loss is built into the par count at setup — rather than discovered in month three.
- You get the actual numbers each cycle — rather than a running balance nobody can reconcile.
- A sudden jump in loss is worth knowing about — it usually means a change on the floor rather than a laundry problem.
- On hire, fair wear is our cost — greying and thinning are ours to replace.
Something specific to your Charlwood club?
Ask us directlyThe greenest wash is the one Charlwood does not repeat
Most of the environmental cost of gym towelling is rewashing and replacing it. Getting the classification right the first time does more than any claim on a van.
- The RH6 round is a shared journey rather than a separate trip to Charlwood.
- Keeping the fibre clear is what stops stock being replaced before its time.
- Stock is graded and rotated instead of written off at the first mark.
