Loulé, as seen by the people who work there

Loulé is our base. It is the town where our office is, where the equipment is kept, and where we know the streets well enough to know where a scaffolding van can park without getting in anybody's way.

The town grows between the old quarter at its centre and the newer housing on the edges, with the barrocal — the limestone hill country — rising to the north and the plain dropping away towards the coast. Two worlds sit side by side here: flats and houses from the eighties and nineties in the newer parts, and old buildings with thick walls, barrel tiles and worked parapets in the historic centre.

In Loulé we get everything: from the landlord who needs a flat repainted between tenants to the full refurbishment of a family home in the centre.

What we find in Loulé

An old centre with rules of its own

Narrow streets with difficult access

No lorry fits down the streets of the centre and there is no room for a cherry picker. A lot of what we do there involves carrying material up by hand and putting up narrow façade scaffolding.

Rising damp in older houses

Stone masonry walls built without a damp-proof course draw moisture up from the ground. Painting over it without dealing with the source gives you blisters within months.

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 Loulé

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

Loulé is our base — it is where our office and equipment are. We get there the same day and we know the town in detail.

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

Much of the centre falls within a heritage protection zone, which restricts façade colours, tile types and window frames. Working here means finding out what is and is not allowed before the first hammer blow. It is the situation we come across most often in Loulé, and it is why we look at the job before quoting.

What temperature do you wash bed linen at?

White bed linen and towelling at 60 degrees, which is the temperature that deals with dust mites and most bacteria. Colours and delicate fabrics at 30 or 40. The label decides, and where the label and the desired result are incompatible, we say so before washing.

Does the linen come folded or pressed?

Both: pressed and folded, ready to put on. In a holiday let that is what saves time on the changeover — receiving it unpressed would hand the whole job straight back to you.

How many bed sets should I have per bed?

Three is the number we recommend for anyone letting: one on the bed, one clean in the cupboard and one at the laundry. With two sets, any delay puts the next changeover at risk.
