You didn’t launch your business to become a part-time laundress. Yet here you are, switching loads between clients, guests, or classes.
If you’re still thinking about laundry, your strategy isn’t working.
Laundry shouldn’t be a task. It’s a business decision. It affects how many clients you can serve, how calm your team feels, and how smooth your operations run.
When you treat it like a chore, it acts like one. It drains time, burns staff energy, and quietly slows you down behind the scenes.
When Laundry Isn’t Strategic, It’s Expensive
In-house laundry doesn’t feel expensive—until you do the math.
It starts as a quick fold here and there. Then a team member calls out. Then the washer breaks. Now someone’s using the wall heater to dry damp towels before the next appointment or class.
And that’s not even touching the hidden costs:
- You’re paying staff to wash and fold instead of serve clients
- You’re eating up utilities, space, and patience
- You’re burning out team members one robe or rag at a time
- And you’re turning usable square footage into a glorified linen closet
We’ve seen it firsthand across industries.
What Happens When You Rethink It
O2 Fitness outsourced their laundry and got back 1,722 hours in just three months. That’s not a stat. That’s 215 days their team got to spend doing literally anything other than folding. They also scaled from 3 to 7 pickups per week without re-negotiating a single thing.
Spruce saved $5,744 in the same time frame. And a whole lot of stress.
But it’s not just about cost. It’s about momentum. Suddenly, the front desk isn’t checking the dryer between check-ins. Your staff isn’t scrambling to find a fresh robe. Your entire space just feels calmer. Like it’s finally working the way it’s supposed to.
The Point Is This
Laundry should never be the thing that slows your business down. It should support your flow, not break it. It should protect the experience you’re trying to deliver, not quietly unravel it behind the scenes.
So if laundry is still landing on your to-do list (or your front desk’s) it’s time to rethink things.
