Linen and laundry service means Savannah STR Cleaning handles bed and bath linen between guests — stripped, washed, dried, folded and reset — sized for weekly resort bookings where an entire island changes over inside the same few hours.
On the resort islands the linen problem is concentration rather than volume. Weekly rentals change over on the same day, which means every property needs its linen turned inside the same window, and there is no borrowing capacity from a quieter neighbor.
A week of family occupancy also produces far more than a couple of nights does. Every bed has been slept in all week and every towel in the property is in use.
Why can a weekly changeover not run on the property's machine?
Because a week's linen for a full house is several loads through a domestic machine, in a window measured in hours, on a day when the property must be ready for an arrival that will not move.
Which is why island operations generally run linen on an exchange rather than washing it in the unit. It takes the wash cycle off the critical path entirely, and that is what makes the day work at all.
What about the mainland properties?
They are the easier case. Arrivals are spread through the week, the bookings are longer and quieter, and most of these houses have their own laundry with time to use it.
Those properties can be handled in place, which keeps linen on site and avoids a collection trip — it simply means the visit is long enough for several loads to run in sequence.
Can a week's linen be turned around in a single changeover?
Only where the property carries enough sets or the linen goes out on an exchange. A full house's week of linen is several loads through a domestic machine, and a Saturday window on a resort island has no room for that.
Do you supply linens?
Yes, and on weekly island rentals it is usually what makes the changeover work at all, because it removes the wash cycle from the critical path. On mainland properties with their own laundry and gaps between bookings it is less necessary.
How many sets should a weekly rental carry?
Enough that beds can be made from stock while the previous guest's linen is still being dealt with. On a fixed changeover day, any property whose check-in depends on a dryer finishing is running without a margin.
