Gym & Spa Towels In Iwade Collected To Schedule

Yes — Iwade sits on the ME9 round, 7 days, 45.3 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Swale, Sittingbourne and Queenborough — 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 45.3 miles buys you.
• Multi-site operators run on staggered days, so no club is left short while another is being collected from.

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

• We count a real week in Iwade before quoting — the invoice records what you were sold, not what you used.
• The count includes January — peak months are the ones the par count has to survive.
• No minimum order — a small Iwade studio pays the same per towel as a club ten times the size.
• 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. 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 — the invoice records what you were sold, not what the rack needed.
• 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.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. One collection covers whichever way each line is set up.

• Hire — we own the stock, replace what wears out and carry the cost of a towel that greys in month two.
• Wash-only — the same towels that left Iwade, never swapped into general stock.
• 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.

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 — which is a different process from turning round sweat towels at volume.
• 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 — the bed linen side can go on the same round.

No long-term tie-in and no exit fee. The account should hold because it works, not because leaving is expensive.

• 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 — we will count your peak while you are still under someone else.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — so there is never a Iwade evening with an empty rack.
• If it is not working, say so — the fix is usually a number on the sheet rather than a new contract.

Because the wash was wrong, not because the towel is finished. A towel can pass inspection dry and fail it in use, because oil only announces itself once the towel warms up.

• 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 — and softener makes it worse by coating the fibre, which is why we do not use it on gym stock.
• 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 — which matters if you are ever asked to show how stock is handled.

Towels walk. The question is whether the account expects 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 — a step change in shrinkage is information, not an invoice line.
• On hire, fair wear is our cost — not a charge back to you.
