What goes wrong
Towel demand in Farleigh is not spread across the day
Almost nobody around CR6 changes towel supplier to save money. They change because the same thing went wrong three weeks running.
-
Running out at the evening peak
Between five and seven the rack empties faster than the rest of the day combined. An average hides that completely, which is why average-based counts fail at peak.
-
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
Towels walk. Every Farleigh club loses some, and an account that does not plan for shrinkage turns into a monthly argument about counts.
How it works
Four steps to a Farleigh 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 against your peak rather than your average — a Monday evening and a Sunday morning in Farleigh are different businesses, and the par level has to survive both.
An hour, at peak
-
The round
The van is already in CR6. Joining that round is what keeps a single studio priced as a stop rather than a journey.

-
The switch
You are never between suppliers, and no evening is covered by rationing towels.
No gap in service
-
The account
The same person handles Farleigh every week, which is why a change to your par count does not need explaining twice.
One name, not a queue
Running more than one club around Tandridge? The same account manager covers all of them, on staggered days so no site is left short.
How it is processed
No third party touches Farleigh gym towelling
There are two buildings between your towels and ours, and we own both. Farleigh collections run 19.9 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 Farleigh clubs think
Most Farleigh clubs stay with a supplier they have stopped rating, because changing one feels like a risk in the week membership is highest. It is not.
- Before you commit
We count your peak, not your average
An hour on site at the time it actually matters. Towel demand stacks into two hours, and an average hides exactly that.
- The handover
Stock lands before the old supplier stops
The two contracts overlap on purpose, so no Farleigh 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.

As a family-run Victorian B&B we need a partner who understands traditional hospitality. Our heritage cotton sheets are treated with real care, the drivers are friendly and the weekly delivery is consistent.
Arthur Pendelton Proprietor & Manager · Traditional bed & breakfast -
Back-to-back conferences and galas mean huge quantities of table skirts, stage linens and catering napkins at short notice. They have never missed a deadline on any of it.
Danielle Moreau Events Logistics Manager · Corporate event venue -
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.

Local knowledge
Why Farleigh is collected the way it is
A tranquil, high-elevation hamlet offering elite privacy and expansive downland views. Unique to Farleigh.
What makes Farleigh its own job is when the demand lands. Towel volume stacks into two hours, so the round is timed against that rather than against the distance.

Farleigh questions, answered
Do you cover Farleigh?
Yes — Farleigh sits on the CR6 round, 7 days, 19.9 miles from our Wembley plant.
- Shared with Warlingham, Whyteleafe and Selsdon — the same vehicle covers them, so a club here can be added without moving anyone else.
- A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, which is what 19.9 miles buys you.
- 6 clubs and spas around CR6 are already on this round — so the vehicle is sized for towel volume rather than adapted to it.
Can we leave if it is not working?
No long-term tie-in and no exit fee. Nothing in the agreement is designed to make leaving awkward.
- Terms flex with seasonal demand — rather than holding you to a January volume through a quiet August.
- 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 — the fix is usually a number on the sheet rather than a new contract.
What stops gym towels smelling?
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 — the programme is chosen for body oil rather than inherited from whatever ran before.
- 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 — so there is a record behind the classification rather than an assurance.
Who pays for towels that walk?
Shrinkage is normal and predictable. We plan for it rather than dispute it.
- 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 — and we would rather flag it than absorb it quietly.
- On hire, fair wear is our cost — greying and thinning are ours to replace.
Do you quote, or work off a tariff?
Priced on your peak and your member numbers, not off a rate card. The number follows turnover, not floor area.
- We count a real week in Farleigh before quoting — the invoice records what you were sold, not what you used.
- The count includes January — which is the one spike everybody knows is coming and most quotes ignore.
- No minimum order — size barely moves the per-item price.
- The count and the quote cost nothing — there is no cost to finding out what it would look like.
Do you count against our busiest hour?
We count at peak, because that is the only hour the count has to survive. Every other hour looks fine on any count, which is why averages keep passing and racks keep emptying.
- We count on site at the time it matters — not from a figure on your last invoice.
- 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 — new-year membership is the most predictable spike in the trade and should never be handled as an emergency.
- If you run short twice, the count is wrong — and correcting it is our job, not a favour.
Do you hire towels, or only launder ours in Farleigh?
Both, and mixed accounts are normal. One collection covers whichever way each line is set up.
- Hire — the rack is maintained for you, including the towels that fail first.
- 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.
Are robes done differently from gym towels?
Yes. One collection, two specifications. A gym floor wants volume and absorbency; a spa wants handle and appearance.
- Robes are laundered to keep their handle — a robe that feels like a gym towel has been washed like one.
- Bath mats run on a heavier classification — and they are counted separately for the same reason.
- 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.
Something specific to your Farleigh club?
Ask us directlyThe greenest wash is the one Farleigh 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.
- Farleigh is a stop on a round that was already running, not a van dispatched for one club.
- Towelling washed without softener keeps absorbing, so it is replaced on wear rather than on feel.
- A greying towel moves to the back of the rotation rather than into a skip.
