Gym & Spa Towels In Earley Collected To Schedule

Yes — Earley sits on the RG6 round, 7 days, 28.9 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Woodley, Winnersh and Shinfield — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the streets around Earley — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because Earley is only 28.9 miles out.
• 4 clubs and spas around RG6 are already on this round — so the vehicle is sized for towel volume rather than adapted to it.

There is no honest price list for towel work. The number follows turnover, not floor area.

• We count a real week in Earley before quoting — rather than pricing off your last invoice.
• 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.

By counting against your peak rather than your daily average. A Earley 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 Earley floor at peak tells us more than a year of delivery notes.
• A Monday evening and a Sunday morning are different businesses — the par level has to survive both, so it is set against the worse of the two.
• 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 — 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 — without reopening the account.

Yes, and they are genuinely different jobs on the same account. 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 — which is a different process from turning round sweat towels at volume.
• Bath mats run on a heavier classification — and they are counted separately for the same reason.
• 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. Nothing in the agreement is designed to make leaving awkward.

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — Earley in January and Earley in August are different clubs, and the account should say so.
• 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 — you are never between suppliers.
• 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 — not as the tail end of a bed linen load.
• 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 — that is a wash problem, not a replacement problem.
• Every load is temperature logged — so there is a record behind the classification rather than an assurance.

Shrinkage is normal and predictable. We plan for it rather than dispute it.

• Expected loss is built into the par count at setup — which is the difference between a working count and an optimistic one.
• You get the actual numbers each cycle — in and out, per collection, so the figure is checkable.
• 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.
