# Outsourcing hotel laundry: criteria for a useful brief

Outsourcing hotel laundry needs a clear brief covering textiles, volumes, timing and responsibilities. Learn what to compare before requesting a quote.

## In brief

Outsourcing hotel laundry requires clear specifications and comparable quotations, not simply the lowest price per kilogram. Textile types, volume and return schedules affect how the service is organised.

## Prepare a useful brief

List sheets, pillowcases, towels, robes, uniforms and specialist textiles separately. Include materials, sizes, estimated volumes and differences between ordinary and busy periods. Describe common stains and the desired finish.

[Bed linen](https://spalatoria-germana.ro/en/blog/washing-bed-linen) and [towels](https://spalatoria-germana.ro/en/blog/soft-and-absorbent-towels) may have different acceptance criteria. Do not assume every item is priced or processed in the same way.

## Compare the whole offer

| Criterion | Question to clarify |
|---|---|
| Price and unit | Per kilogram, per item or per service? |
| Logistics | Who hands over, receives and confirms quantities? |
| Timing | Which schedule is confirmed and how are weekends handled? |
| Quality | How are remaining marks and finishing checked? |
| Exceptions | How are damaged or incompatible textiles managed? |

Define handover records, batch identification and discrepancy handling. Specialist requirements or healthcare textiles need separate process and documentation checks; a hotel-laundry offer does not automatically establish suitability for every use.

## Planning with SPG

Standard B2B processing is **24–48 hours**, with transport on business days; specific conditions are confirmed in the quotation. Review [business services](https://spalatoria-germana.ro/en/business) and provide actual volumes rather than assuming unlisted capacity or certifications.

No universal percentage saving is promised. Compare complete costs and the internal resources required by each option.

## Frequently asked questions

### Should I choose only by Lei/kg?
No. Compare equivalent units, included work, logistics and exception handling.

### Does standard turnaround cover every urgent volume?
Not automatically. Volume, textile type and availability must be confirmed before relying on a deadline.
