Quick answer
Most small salons can start with weekly towel pickup. Move to twice weekly if towels run short before busy days, staff are folding after hours or storage is always full of used towels. The right schedule is the one that keeps clean towels ready before your team has to think about laundry.
Step by step
- Count your busiest towel day. Look at colour-heavy days, weekend prep and back-to-back appointment blocks.
- Check clean towel storage. If clean towels barely last the week, weekly pickup may be too light.
- Watch staff time. If staff are switching loads during service, pickup should be more frequent.
- Start weekly. Weekly pickup is a practical first schedule for many small salons.
- Add a second pickup. Twice weekly helps when towel laundry interrupts client flow or closing duties.
How Davenport approaches salon towels
The Care Plan starts with towels you already own. Davenport picks up used towel bags, washes, folds and returns them so the team can focus on clients instead of laundry.
