Towel Service In Cheap On The Leisure Round

Yes — Cheap sits on the EC2V round, 7 days, 8.9 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Cordwainer, Bread Street and City of London — the same vehicle covers them, so a club here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the streets around Mansion House, Old Street and Bank — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.
• 35 clubs and spas around EC2V are already on this round — so the vehicle is sized for towel volume rather than adapted to it.

Every Cheap 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 — not a statement that only makes sense to us.
• A sudden jump in loss is worth knowing about — and we would rather flag it than absorb it quietly.
• On hire, fair wear is our cost — you pay for the service, not for towels reaching the end of their life.

Priced on your peak and your member numbers, not off a rate card. 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 Cheap before quoting — including the evening peak, which is where every estimate falls over.
• The count includes January — a Cheap club quoted off an August week runs short in the month that matters.
• No minimum order — so a boutique studio is an ordinary account and is priced per item like any other.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — including while you are still under contract elsewhere.

We count at peak, because that is the only hour the count has to survive. Towel demand does not spread evenly across opening hours — it stacks, and an average hides exactly that.

• We count on site at the time it matters — the invoice records what you were sold, not what the rack needed.
• A Monday evening and a Sunday morning are different businesses — and a single number that averages them fails on the busier one.
• January is planned in — the one spike everyone knows is coming is the one worth building into the count.
• If you run short twice, the count is wrong — we reset it against real usage rather than the opening estimate.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. The two sit on one invoice and one round.

• Hire — stock, replacement and shrinkage planning are ours; you never reorder.
• Wash-only — your own branded stock comes back to you, the same items, not pooled.
• Most clubs split it — the logo matters on a robe, rarely on a sweat towel.
• You can move a line between the two later — without reopening the account.

Yes, and they are genuinely different jobs on the same account. Volume on one side of the building, finish on the other.

• 1 spas around EC2V are already on the round — so robe work is not something we are learning on your account.
• Bath mats run on a heavier classification — because wet-area linen takes a different kind of soil.
• One collection, one invoice — no second supplier for the spa side.
• Hotel spas are a normal account — with one account manager across both.

No long-term tie-in and no exit fee. We would rather keep you on the service than on the paperwork.

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — Cheap in January and Cheap in August are different clubs, and the account should say so.
• Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — there is no cost to finding out.
• 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.

It is oil left in the fibre, not the towel being old. Cold it is fine; warm and damp it is not, and that is after it has reached a member.

• Gym towelling runs on its own classification — the programme is chosen for body oil rather than inherited from whatever ran before.
• Oil needs a different temperature from sweat — softener is the usual culprit: it smells pleasant and stops the towel drying anything.
• Towels that stop absorbing are usually over-softened, not worn out — which means you are replacing stock that had life left in it.
• Every load is temperature logged — so there is a record behind the classification rather than an assurance.
