Why scaling wellness businesses are offloading laundry to focus on what matters most.
You did it! You expanded services, expanded your team, maybe even opened a second location. Your spa is growing and so is your laundry pile, but nobody wants to talk about that.
Well we’re going to. As your business scales, your systems need to scale with it, and too often laundry becomes the bottleneck that no one planned for.
We’re here to fix that. Here’s how.
More Clients + More Laundry = More Overwhelm
Growth feels good—until you realize that offering more red light and cryotherapy also means processing hundreds of pounds of towels every week. That’s not just a side task. That’s a full-time job. One that someone on your team is probably doing right now.
At O2, a fitness-focused wellness center, expanding to a new location meant facing 850 loads of laundry in a single quarter. That’s 1,700 hours of labor that was redirected back into client experience after they partnered with us.
It’s not just about volume—it’s about unpredictability.
- Towels go missing
- Robes come back without ties
- Fold quality is inconsistent
- Staff availability fluctuates you’re stuck storing damp laundry in the meantime
This isn’t scalable. It’s barely survivable.
In-house Laundry is More Expensive Than You Think
Let’s talk numbers.
O2 reduced laundry costs by 40% and saved 1,722 hours of labor in just three months after partnering with hampr. That’s the equivalent of 215 eight-hour workdays, which is time their team got back to focus on high-impact work like client care and operations.
Why the huge gap?
Because in-house laundry has hidden costs:
- Detergent, machines, water, electricity
- Employee hours
- Guest satisfaction when towels aren’t up to par
- The toll on your team when they’re folding towels at 9 PM instead of recharging for tomorrow
One med spa client said it best:
“If hampr was no longer available, we’d be back to contemplating, ‘Is this job worth it?’”
That’s not just about laundry. That’s about burnout.
Why Scaling Spas are Outsourcing Laundry First
Here’s what growth-minded spa owners have figured out:
Laundry doesn’t generate revenue.
Your team’s energy should be going toward delivering exceptional experiences—not managing logistics.
hampr delivers clean, guest-ready towels on your terms.
No long-term contracts. Pickups only when you need them.
Dedicated support = less chaos.
You’ll get one point of contact and one assigned washr who follows your exact guidelines—no mystery missing robe ties.
And yes, you’ll save money.
Most clients cut laundry costs by 40–66%. That’s not fluff. That’s cash.
You Didn’t Grow Your Spa to Manage More Laundry
You grew your spa to serve more people, build something sustainable, and make your mark in the wellness space.
We’re here to help you do that without sacrificing your standards, your team, or your sanity.
