How do you handle STR laundry for larger properties?

Posted

Hi everyone!

I own a 6BR short-term rental in Estes Park, Colorado, which generates a lot of laundry—especially because we use high-quality linens. We’ve tried off-site laundry, but our sheets get mixed up and replaced with lower-quality ones, so we prefer on-site washing.

Currently, our cleaners have about four hours between guests to process 6–8 loads, but the dryer is the bottleneck at 1.5 hours per load. Two potential solutions I have in my mind are:

  1. 1. Install additional stackable W/D units in the garage (requires some electrical work).
  2. 2. Upgrade to a commercial-style stackable setup that can dry faster (30–45 minutes), hopefully fitting in our existing laundry closet without extra electrical work.

Any recommendations or specific brand/model suggestions for handling this high-volume, semi-commercial laundry? Or any additional options I'm not considering?

Thanks in advance!
