For many years, textile rental was charged based on stock and minimum usage. Stock investment and return on textiles was much clearer and the customer had a vested interest in minimising their stock holding. This system also prioritised stock counting.
Today, launderers take all the risk by charging mostly for delivery only. Let us remind ourselves of the definition of textile rental – we provide hygienically cleaned used textiles on a rental basis.
In the current environment, our service is more relevant and essential than ever. Keeping stock levels tight and regularly cleaned and turned over is good for everyone. It is an excellent opportunity to review aspects of our business and reconfigure them.
