Save Money on Laundry Services

Why Businesses Overpay on Laundry Services

For many businesses—whether in healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, or automotive—laundry services are a non-negotiable expense. Uniforms, linens, towels, and mats must be cleaned and delivered consistently. But here’s the hidden truth: most companies are significantly overpaying for these services every month.

Vendors often structure contracts to favor their bottom line, not yours. From inflated service charges to vague contract terms, what seems like a fixed cost actually has plenty of room for reduction.

Hidden Costs That Add Up

When we audit laundry service invoices, we consistently uncover issues such as:

Automatic Loss & Replacement (ALR) Fees – charges for items without proof of loss.

Backup Inventory Costs – paying for linens or uniforms sitting idle in storage.

Environmental and Miscellaneous Fees – extra line items buried deep in the bill.

Vendor-Friendly Contracts – agreements written to benefit the supplier, not the customer.

Individually, these fees may look minor, but together they often inflate costs by 20–40% annually.

 How to Take Back Control

The good news is that these costs aren’t permanent. With careful auditing, benchmarking, and renegotiation, businesses can significantly lower laundry service expenses without sacrificing quality or switching vendors.
