What goes wrong
Three things that cost Old Malden clubs a supplier
Almost nobody around KT4 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
Sweat and body oil build up in the fibre and a general wash does not shift them. The towel smells clean cold, then smells again once it is warm and damp — which a member notices before you do.
-
Stock that never quite balances
Towels walk. Every Old Malden club loses some, and an account that does not plan for shrinkage turns into a monthly argument about counts.
How it works
Getting a Old Malden club onto 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
KT4 already has a collection day. We fit you to it and agree a time that lands before the evening rush rather than during it.
KT4 · 7 days
-
The switch
The changeover in Old Malden overlaps by design — new stock lands while the old contract is still running.
No gap in service
-
The account
The same person handles Old Malden 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 Kingston upon Thames? The same account manager covers all of them, on staggered days so no site is left short.
How it is processed
Nothing from Old Malden leaves our own plants
There are two buildings between your towels and ours, and we own both. Old Malden collections run 12.2 miles to our Wembley plant. Nothing is passed to a third party in between.
What comes off a Old Malden gym floor is not what comes off a hotel bed. Body oil needs its own temperature and no softener, so towelling is classified separately rather than run at the tail of a linen load.

Changing supplier is not the January risk Old Malden clubs think
Most Old Malden 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
You are never between suppliers. New stock is on the shelf before the last collection of the old contract.
- After
Par counts adjust once we have seen a month
First counts are an estimate. After four weeks we set them against what you actually used, including what walked out of the door.
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.

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.
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.

Local knowledge
Why Old Malden is collected the way it is
A historic residential village centered around its ancient church and scenic river path. Unique to Old Malden.
Clubs here sit on the KT4 round, and the hour that matters is the evening peak rather than the morning — Old Malden is close enough that a disrupted run is a second trip that day.

Asked most often about Old Malden towel accounts
Which round covers Old Malden?
Yes — Old Malden sits on the KT4 round, 7 days, 12.2 miles from our Wembley plant.
- Shared with Worcester Park, Motspur Park and New Malden — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
- The driver knows the streets around Motspur Park, Malden Manor and Worcester Park — which matters when the drop has to land before the evening rush.
- A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because Old Malden is only 12.2 miles out.
- 10 clubs and spas around KT4 are already on this round — so the vehicle is sized for towel volume rather than adapted to it.
What is the commitment for an Old Malden account?
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 — rather than holding you to a January volume through a quiet August.
- 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 Old Malden 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.
Why do our towels stop absorbing?
It is oil left in the fibre, not the towel being old. 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 — so there is a record behind the classification rather than an assurance.
How is stock reconciled on a Old Malden account?
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 — not a statement that only makes sense to us.
- 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 — not a charge back to you.
What does a towel account cost in Old Malden?
It is quoted, not tariffed. 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 Old Malden before quoting — including the evening peak, which is where every estimate falls over.
- The count includes January — a Old Malden club quoted off an August week runs short in the month that matters.
- 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. 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 — the par level has to survive both, so it is set against the worse of the two.
- 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.
Can we keep our own branded stock in Old Malden?
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 — item for item, never substituted.
- 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.
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 — 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 — with one account manager across both.
Something specific to your Old Malden club?
Ask us directlyRewashing Old Malden linen is the real environmental cost
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.
- Old Malden is a stop on a round that was already running, not a van dispatched for one club.
- Keeping the fibre clear is what stops stock being replaced before its time.
- A greying towel moves to the back of the rotation rather than into a skip.
