Commercial Laundry Service

Professional washing, pressing, and finishing for every textile your business depends on. Valley Laundry has served hospitality businesses across southwest Ohio since 1954.

What Is Commercial Laundry Service?

Commercial laundry service is a professional textile care solution for businesses. Valley Laundry washes, presses, and packages commercial textiles including uniforms, linens, towels, and hospitality textiles. We process both rental inventory and customer-owned goods on a reliable schedule.

Unlike consumer laundry, commercial service is built for volume, consistency, and the specific sanitation standards that the hospitality and food service industries demand. At Valley Laundry, every load is processed with commercial-grade equipment and detergents that meet or exceed industry hygiene requirements.

Our commercial laundry service is designed for businesses that cannot afford downtime or inconsistent quality. Whether you operate a single restaurant or manage a multi-property hotel group, we provide the same dependable results on every delivery.

What Items Can You Launder?

Valley Laundry processes a wide range of hospitality textiles including tablecloths, napkins, towels, chef coats, server aprons, bed linens, bath towels, and more. If your hospitality business uses it, we can likely launder it.

Our facility is equipped to handle textiles from virtually every commercial sector. Common items we process include:

  • Tablecloths and napkins for restaurants, banquet halls, and event venues
  • Bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths for hotels and hospitality businesses
  • Uniforms, chef coats, and server aprons for restaurants and catering
  • Event linens for weddings, banquets, and corporate functions
  • Floor mats and entrance mats for lobbies, kitchens, and workspaces
  • Bed linens and pillowcases for hotels and lodging properties
  • Aprons and chef coats for commercial kitchens and food-service operations

If you have a textile item that is not listed here, contact us. We are happy to evaluate whether it fits within our commercial laundering process.

How Does the Commercial Laundry Process Work?

Our commercial laundry process follows a structured six-step workflow: scheduled pickup, intake and sorting, professional washing, pressing and folding, quality inspection, packaging, and delivery. Every step is designed for consistency, hygiene, and accountability.

Here is how the process works from start to finish:

  1. Scheduled pickup: Our driver arrives at your location on your designated pickup day and collects soiled textiles. Item counts are confirmed at the time of collection.
  2. Intake and sorting: Back at our Franklin facility, your items are logged, inspected for damage, and sorted by fabric type, color, and required wash formula.
  3. Professional washing: Items are laundered in commercial-grade machines using detergents and sanitizers matched to the fabric and industry sanitation requirements.
  4. Pressing and folding: After washing, textiles are pressed, ironed, or tumble-dried as appropriate. Items are folded or hung according to your specifications.
  5. Quality inspection: Every batch undergoes a final quality check. We verify cleanliness, stain removal, and overall condition before items are approved for delivery.
  6. Packaging and delivery: Clean items are packaged for transport and delivered on your next scheduled delivery day, ready for immediate use.

This process repeats on your regular schedule -- weekly, bi-weekly, or on a custom frequency that fits your operation.

What Is the Difference Between Rental and Customer-Owned Laundry?

With rental service, Valley Laundry owns the textiles and supplies them to your business on a recurring schedule. With customer-owned service, you provide your own items and we launder them. We also offer a hybrid model combining both options for maximum flexibility.

Rental service is ideal for businesses that want a completely hands-off experience. We supply the inventory -- tablecloths, uniforms, towels, mats, and more -- and handle all laundering, repair, and replacement. You pay a predictable weekly or monthly fee, and you never have to worry about purchasing, storing, or tracking your own textiles.

Customer-owned service is for businesses that already have their own textiles and prefer to keep them. We pick up your soiled items, launder them to professional standards, and return them clean and ready to use. This option gives you full control over your inventory and branding while still eliminating the labor and equipment costs of in-house laundering.

Hybrid service combines both approaches. For example, a restaurant might rent tablecloths and napkins from us while sending their own branded chef coats through our customer-owned laundering process. This flexibility lets you optimize costs and maintain brand consistency at the same time.

Do You Offer Emergency or Rush Service?

Yes, Valley Laundry offers emergency and rush service for businesses with urgent textile needs. If you experience an unexpected shortage or a last-minute event, contact us and we will work to expedite your order as quickly as possible.

We understand that business does not always follow a predictable schedule. Unexpected events, equipment failures, or sudden increases in volume can leave you short on clean textiles when you need them most.

Our emergency service is available to existing clients and new customers alike. When you call with an urgent request, we prioritize your items in our production queue and arrange expedited pickup and delivery. While our standard turnaround is two to three business days, rush orders can often be completed within 24 hours depending on volume and availability.

To request emergency service, call us directly at 937-746-5291 during business hours. We will assess your needs and provide a timeline immediately.
