Holiday rental and Airbnb: washing bed linen and towels in Ludwigsburg

After every guest change there is bed linen, towels and tea towels, often more than a home machine can manage in one morning. The laundromat Ludwigsburg has 11 washing machines with 8 kg and 4 dryers with 20 kg. You start as many machines at the same time as you need instead of one load after another. Five loads don't take five times as long: after about an hour they are all clean and dry.

For hosts in Ludwigsburg that's a real advantage: if you look after two or three holiday flats, you collect the laundry from all of them and get it done in one go. For duvets and pillows there are also 3 large XXL washing machines with 18 kg, so even the duvet is quickly fresh again after a longer stay.

Often one set of guests checks out at 10 am and the next arrives at 1 or 2 pm. In those three to four hours the flat has to be cleaned, the bed made and everything prepared. Washing and drying at home, load by load, barely fits in.

At the laundromat Ludwigsburg it works differently: walk in, start all the machines at once, walk out. While the laundry runs you clean the flat or do the shopping, and after about an hour you pick everything up clean and dry.

Two full loads, bed linen in one machine and towels in the other: tap an example. Because both loads run at the same time, you are done after about 35 minutes of washing and 30 minutes of drying.

1. Wash bed linen and towels separately: towels shed lint and usually tolerate higher temperatures.
2. 60 °C for bed linen and towels, if the label allows it. The temperature costs nothing extra at the laundromat.
3. Fold straight away: use the counters at the laundromat right after drying, so there is less creasing.
4. Use the discount card: if you wash regularly, top up €50 and get €62.50 credit. You can also hand the card to your team.

This order saves you the most time on changeover day:

1. Sort as you strip the beds: bed linen in one bag, towels in a second, tea towels with them.
2. Pack detergent or buy it at the payment terminal. Your own detergent is allowed.
3. At the laundromat, fill all the machines first, and only then pay at the terminal and start them.
4. During the roughly 35 minutes of washing, clean the flat or run errands in the town centre.
5. Move everything into the 20 kg dryers, bed linen and towels separately so both dry evenly.
6. Fold right away at the counters and take it back to the flat in clean bags.

Handle every changeover like this and you have a fixed routine instead of stress. And your guests find a freshly made bed that smells of clean laundry.

If it's not you but your cleaner or team who brings the laundry, the discount card helps: top it up once with enough credit and hand it over. They pay straight at the payment terminal, and you don't have to give out cash each time. And thanks to the top-up bonus, every wash gets cheaper.

It works without the discount card too, of course: cash, all major credit and debit cards, or contactless with Apple Pay and Google Pay.

You get a receipt for every payment, at the laundromat Ludwigsburg just like at all other Wash&Go laundromats. That lets you document your holiday rental's laundry costs cleanly in your books.

The same applies when your team pays with the discount card: every wash is documented, and you keep track of what the laundry for your guest rooms costs each month.

Monday to Saturday from 6 am to 10 pm, no appointment. Closed on Sundays and public holidays, so plan a weekend changeover for Saturday. Opening hours & directions

Because the laundromat opens at 6 am, a load fits in even before an early check-out. And if you need laundry for the next morning, you can still wash in the evening until 10 pm.

If your holiday flat is in Ludwigsburg town centre, the way to the laundry is short: the laundromat Ludwigsburg at Stuttgarter Straße 54 is right next to the Friedenskirche on Karlsplatz, opposite the Residential Palace. With full laundry bags you can park right outside the door on Stuttgarter Straße, at the job centre (Agentur für Arbeit, approx. 50 m) or at Karlsplatz (approx. 140 m), all paid parking.

Hosts from the surrounding area have a short trip too, for example from Kornwestheim, Bietigheim-Bissingen or Freiberg am Neckar. From there, this self-service laundry in Ludwigsburg is often quicker to reach than you'd think.
