Gym towels come back damp, sweaty and in large numbers, and a smell that lingers is the first thing members notice. We collect them often, wash them hot, dry them fully and bring them back folded for the front desk.
No machines, no launderette trips, no drying racks in the hallway. This is everything that happens between your door and the moment clean laundry comes back.
ArkLaundry is a London laundry and dry-cleaning service for businesses and homes. We work in one city only, so every pickup is planned around London’s streets, parking rules and building entrances, not a national depot.
Commercial linen and household orders are never washed together.
