Vilamoura is where this service grew out of what clients needed: holiday apartments with weekly guest changeovers, sometimes every other day in August. At that rate, washing on site is not an option — what decides whether the changeover happens on time is having clean linen ready to go on.

Vilamoura is an intensive holiday-letting area, and that changes everything about how you work: here the jobs live around the booking calendar.
A resort planned around its marina, with gated developments, holiday apartments and golf villas, all a few minutes from the sea. Mostly apartments in managed developments and resort villas, many built between the nineties and 2010, with generous balconies, metal railings and direct exposure to salt-laden wind.
In Vilamoura we work mainly for holiday-let owners and management companies: deep changeover cleans, painting between seasons and quick repairs before the high season.
Between one set of guests checking out and the next checking in there is sometimes a single day. Working here means getting in, doing the job and getting out within that window, or a booking is lost — and the owner pays for it.
Being close to the sea corrodes balcony railings, ironmongery, gates and window frames far faster than inland. What lasts ten years in the barrocal needs attention here after three or four.
Permitted working hours, use of the service lift, façade colours agreed at the owners' meeting. Ignoring this means a fine for the owner and work stopped halfway through.
The linen is counted by item type at collection and that count travels with the bag.
Separated by colour and fabric, with stains treated before anything goes in the machine.
Temperature and programme according to the fabric, with controlled drying so the fibres are not scorched.
Pressed, folded, checked against the original count and delivered on the agreed date.
We work in Vilamoura regularly. We set out from Loulé and get there in about 20 minutes, which means we can come and look at the job without charging for the trip.
Between one set of guests checking out and the next checking in there is sometimes a single day. Working here means getting in, doing the job and getting out within that window, or a booking is lost — and the owner pays for it. It is the situation we come across most often in Vilamoura, and it is why we look at the job before quoting.
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.
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.
The count at collection exists precisely for that. If an item is lost through us, we replace it. If a fabric will not survive the wash indicated on its label, we tell you before washing it.
Tell us what you need and we will come and look. We get there in about 20 minutes and the visit is free.
