Short-Let Linen In Shoreditch Back On The Round

You do not turn linen around on the day — you hold a set ahead. A 10am checkout and a 3pm check-in leaves about five hours. No laundry can do that reliably, ours included, and any supplier who says otherwise is describing a good week.

• Three sets per bed — one on the bed, one with us, one on the shelf — means the clean set is already in the Shoreditch property before the guest has left. The changeover stops depending on us, or on a machine, or on the traffic.
• Collections and drops happen on the same visit, so there is no second trip and no window where a bed sits stripped waiting for a delivery.
• a 9.1-mile plant distance is what makes a same-day recovery possible if a run is disrupted — the fix is hours away, not days.
• The spare set is what protects the booking, which is exactly why the third one is not optional however tight the budget looks.

Yes — Shoreditch sits on the EC2A round, 9.1 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Hoxton, Spitalfields and Finsbury, so a single flat here costs us a stop rather than a journey — which is why there is no minimum order.
• 7 days collections, in a window agreed when the account opens.
• Access around Old Street is planned into the route rather than discovered on the day.
• a 9.1-mile round trip keeps the recovery window short, which is what a fixed-day service actually depends on.

Whichever suits the item. The van does not care which is in the bag, and the EC2A round prices them the same way.

• Owned stock stays yours. What you paid for, you keep.
• Hire covers replacement — greying, wear and loss are ours to carry rather than a cost you absorb every season. For short lets that is usually the larger number, because linen ages in front of paying guests.
• Hire also means consistency. Every set is the same specification, so a replacement does not arrive a shade off the rest of the flat.

It should, and that is measurable. One specification means the linen a Shoreditch guest photographs in year two matches the listing shot from year one.

• Items are pulled at the check stage so the decision about whether a cover has one more stay in it is ours.
• Commercial pressing flattens a duvet cover in a way no home machine reproduces, and it is what the camera picks up.
• Stains are re-treated before retirement, so a spill on a Saturday is not automatically a replacement cost on the Monday.

Three per bed is the working number for anything busier than occasional weekends, and it is what Shoreditch hosts most often get wrong when sizing an account themselves.

• Two sets fails on a back-to-back. A Friday-to-Sunday followed by a Sunday-to-Wednesday leaves you short on the Sunday.
• A sofa bed counts as a bed — if it sleeps someone, it needs three sets like everything else.
• Towels turn faster than bed linen. One guest can get through four in a weekend, which is why towel stock is sized separately.
• Reviewed after a month of real occupancy in Shoreditch and adjusted at no charge. Seasonal swing is expected and the level should move with it.

Settled first, not discovered on the day. Access is the single biggest cause of a missed drop in Shoreditch, so it is agreed before anything is collected.

• The same driver runs the round, which is why a code given in week one still works in week thirty.
• Nothing is left on a doorstep. If access fails, the drop moves to the next visit and you are told the same day — not discovered by a guest.
• Codes and key-safe details sit on the account, not in a driver's phone, and are changed on request.

Yes, and it is the common case. Most Hackney accounts we open cover more than one address from the start.

• Each property keeps its own par level, so the busy flat is not rationed to fund the quiet one.
• Consolidated billing with a per-property breakdown, so you see one number and can still tell which flat is consuming what.
• Adding a property later is a change to the drop list, not a new contract, a new supplier relationship or a new price.

No — and that is a routing answer, not a favour. Shoreditch sits on an existing round, so small accounts here cost us minutes.

• No volume threshold and no review clause that reopens it if bookings dip.
• Growing later is a par-level change, not a renegotiation — adding a second flat does not reopen the contract.
• No exit fee. If it is not working, you say so and we collect our stock.
