The last client leaves, the table gets stripped once more, and the day’s sheets go home with you to wash. Hand us that bag instead. We collect massage and spa linens around San Diego County, wash them at our own facility and return them folded.
Every session ends the same way. Fitted sheet off, flat sheet off, face-cradle cover off, and a fresh set on before the next client arrives.
Work alone and the used sets ride home with you. The washer runs after dinner, the dryer after that, and an evening you meant to spend off your feet goes to folding fitted sheets.
Run a studio with a few rooms and it shows up sooner. By mid-afternoon the shelf is down to two face-cradle covers, someone has a small load going in the back, and a therapist is waiting on the dryer between clients.
Then there is the oil. Washed sheets can still feel slick, or smell stale once they are folded away, because oil and lotion build up in cotton session after session.
We wash linens your business already owns; we don’t rent or supply them. This page covers the treatment room; our commercial laundry service page covers everything else a business sends.
The set that changes with every client. Tell us how many of each a setup uses and what they are made of: cotton, flannel, microfiber or a blend. Send the care label for anything unusual, such as a fitted sheet cut for a wide table.
Blankets and fleece top covers go in less often but take up more of the bag. Bolster and cushion covers can go in once they are off the foam; the bolster itself stays with you.
Hand towels from the treatment room, and bath towels or wraps if your spa has showers or a steam room. If towels are most of what you send, our commercial towel service covers the towel side in more depth. Salon color towels and capes have their own salon towel laundry service, and yoga or fitness studios whose load is mostly mat towels should start with our gym towel laundry service.
Linens with blood or other bodily fluids, anything that has touched a sharp, and linens from clinical treatment need a separate conversation before anything is booked. Our medical office laundry page explains that review. Electric table warmers and heating pads stay out of the bag.
What to tell us about oilOil is the part of massage laundry that changes how a load is handled. Say what you use and how much reaches the linens, and your quote confirms the handling before we collect anything.
A U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission release says normal laundering may not get all the vegetable oil out of cloth. Towels still holding that oil can smoke and catch fire if they go through a clothes dryer or sit warm in a pile.
In 2018, Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals reported a Seattle fire in which a therapist’s freshly washed massage sheets ignited hours after they came out of the dryer.
We don’t promise that every trace of oil or odor will come out. We agree the handling with you in the quote and settle anything we can’t accept before the first pickup.
Keep a laundry bag in the treatment room or the linen closet and drop each used set in as it comes off. When the last client leaves, the day’s linens are already packed.
You can’t answer the door with a client on the table, so we settle the spot first: the front desk of a day spa, the reception of a shared wellness suite, or a set place inside the door of a private studio. Pickups run Monday to Friday 7am to 5pm and Saturday 8am to 12pm. Tell us how often you need pickup; the quote confirms the schedule.
Your linens go to the facility run by Liz and Steve Carlin’s family, into commercial Maytag and Speed Queen machines. ArtiClean ozone is part of every load. For a treatment room kept scent-free, name All Free & Clear as your detergent; the other choices are Tide, Gain, Seventh Generation and Persil.
Sets return folded and bagged, ready for the shelf. Standard wash-and-fold orders are ordinarily back the next business day. For a studio’s regular volume, the quote confirms the return day, so you can count your sets against it.
We don’t publish a business rate. Your quote is built from what you send, how much of it there is each week and how often we collect. Household wash-and-fold prices are on our pricing page; business pricing is quoted separately.
Sheets, face-cradle covers, blankets, bolster covers and towels, with a rough count for each setup.
Weekly volume is counted in pounds. We haven’t published a weight for a massage sheet set yet, so weigh one day’s bag: step on a bathroom scale holding it, then subtract your own weight.
Once a week, or more often if the shelf runs thin by midweek. Your quote puts the collection days in writing.
Arrange service around your studio’s week.
Available after the third month.
Per week: the program range on our pricing page.
Count the sessions between the day a bag leaves and the day it comes back clean, then add one busy day’s worth. For example, six sessions a day with sets back two working days after pickup means 12 sets in circulation, plus 6 for a heavy day: 18 sets. Use the return day in your own quote, not this example.
Smaller practice? Send your weekly count anyway. The quote will say what arrangement fits.
The last session ends and the bag goes by the door. The dryer at home stays off, and nobody at the studio waits on a load between clients.
To start, send your studio name, ZIP code, sessions per week and what each setup uses, along with the oils and lotions on them. The quote comes back with what we can accept, the pickup schedule and the return day. Not sure your address is covered? Check our service areas first.
Answers for therapists and spa managers weighing a linen service.
Ask about your linensTell us which oils, lotions or creams you use and how heavily they reach the linens, and your quote confirms how the load will be handled before the first pickup. Normal laundering may not remove every trace of oil, so we don’t promise that all oil or odor will come out of heavily used sheets.
Flat sheets, fitted sheets, face-cradle covers, blankets, fleece top covers, removable bolster and cushion covers, hand towels and spa towels that your business owns. Linens with blood or other bodily fluids, anything that has touched a sharp, and items from clinical treatment need a separate conversation before anything is booked.
Standard wash-and-fold orders are ordinarily back the next business day. For a studio’s regular weekly volume, your quote confirms the return day, so plan the number of sets you keep around that date.
No. There are no contracts. Net-30 billing is available after the third month, and your quote sets out the account terms before the first pickup.
Three things set it: which linens you send, their weight across a week, and how often we collect. Weighing one day’s linen bag gives a realistic weekly figure to start from. The published program range is 100 to 5,000 lb a week.
Ask for All Free & Clear in your quote request. It is made without perfumes or dyes, which suits a treatment room kept scent-free. Tide, Gain, Seventh Generation and Persil are the other detergent choices.
