Learn what to compare before requesting a quote.\n\n## In brief\n\nOutsourcing 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.\n\n## Prepare a useful brief\n\nList 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.\n\n[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.\n\n## Compare the whole offer\n\n| Criterion | Question to clarify |\n|---|---|\n| Price and unit | Per kilogram, per item or per service? |\n| Logistics | Who hands over, receives and confirms quantities? |\n| Timing | Which schedule is confirmed and how are weekends handled? |\n| Quality | How are remaining marks and finishing checked? |\n| Exceptions | How are damaged or incompatible textiles managed? |\n\nDefine 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.\n\n## Planning with SPG\n\nStandard 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.\n\nNo universal percentage saving is promised. Compare complete costs and the internal resources required by each option.\n\n## Frequently asked questions\n\n### Should I choose only by Lei/kg?\nNo. Compare equivalent units, included work, logistics and exception handling.\n\n### Does standard turnaround cover every urgent volume?\nNot automatically. Volume, textile type and availability must be confirmed before relying on a deadline.\n\n## Related guides\n\n- [Laundry pricing by weight: how to compare quotes](https://spalatoria-germana.ro/en/blog/laundry-pricing-by-weight)\n"
