Linen and Towel Laundry in Faro

In Faro there is a great deal of short-term letting around the university and the hospital, and a good share of landlords manage the flat at a distance. Collecting and returning the linen clean removes the most awkward part of that remote management.

Faro, as seen by the people who work there

Faro is the district capital: more flats than houses, more landlords than resident owners, and jobs done with neighbours above, below and on both sides.

A compact city facing the Ria Formosa lagoon, with the walled historic quarter, dense residential neighbourhoods around it, and the university campus at Gambelas driving rental demand. Mostly three- to eight-storey residential blocks, many from the seventies and eighties, with enclosed balconies, original installations and compact floor areas. In the old quarter, older buildings refurbished for letting.

In Faro the bulk of the work is post-construction cleaning in refurbished flats and interior painting between tenants.

What we find in Faro

Working in an occupied block

High tenant turnover

With the university and the hospital driving demand, some flats change tenant every year. Each change calls for a deep clean and often a freshening coat of paint within a few days.

Parking and deliveries

Unloading material in the old quarter means planning the hour. Turning up at nine in the morning in a street in Penha without having thought about it costs you half the morning.

Linen and Towel Laundry: what we do

Collection and delivery — We collect the used linen and deliver the clean, in closed bags identified by property.
Bed linen — Sheets, duvet covers, pillowcases and protectors, washed at the temperature each fabric calls for.
Towelling — Bath, hand and bidet towels and mats, dried in a way that keeps their body.
Pressing and folding — Everything returned pressed and folded, ready to use without passing through another pair of hands.
Stain treatment — Stains treated individually before washing, which is while they still come out.
Replacement sets — The option of rotating with spare sets, so the property is never waiting on the wash.

How the work goes

1
Counted at collection
The linen is counted by item type at collection and that count travels with the bag.
2
Sorting and treatment
Separated by colour and fabric, with stains treated before anything goes in the machine.
3
Washing and drying
Temperature and programme according to the fabric, with controlled drying so the fibres are not scorched.
4
Pressing and delivery
Pressed, folded, checked against the original count and delivered on the agreed date.

Frequently asked questions about linen and towel laundry in Faro

Do you actually work in Faro, or do you travel in from elsewhere?

We work in Faro regularly. We set out from Loulé and get there in about 25 minutes, which means we can come and look at the job without charging for the trip.

What usually goes wrong with this kind of work in Faro?

There is no compound and nowhere to set material down. Everything comes in and goes out through the same lift the neighbours use, and dust from a refurbishment reaches three flats if it is not contained properly. It is the situation we come across most often in Faro, and it is why we look at the job before quoting.

Do you do laundry without the cleaning service?

We do, it is a standalone service. Some clients have their cleaning done by somebody else and give us only the linen.

How long does it take?

Under normal circumstances, collection one day and delivery the next. For same-day guest changeovers we agree fixed collection and delivery times in advance — and in those cases the safest arrangement is to keep spare sets in rotation.

How is it charged?

By item or by complete bed set, whichever suits you. For anyone with several properties or regular volume, we work to a price by weight. A single sheet and a double duvet cover are not the same price, so the quote follows knowing what you have.
