⚖️ What rewash percentage counts as good for a hotel laundry?
Did you know that rewash rates in hotel and long-term care laundries are often around 2-3% or better, while typical laundries start at around 5%? This comes from articles and expert opinion in American Laundry News, a US trade magazine, in 2021. These figures are opinions based on experience, not measurements in Thailand, so use them as a benchmark rather than a fixed standard.
The experts recommend separating rewash items into red bins or carts at key points, weighing them, and recording the results every day by the point where they occur. This shows which machine or step is causing the most rewash. Then compare the daily percentage with 2-3% and with your laundry's own statistics. One expert recommends improving mainly against your own historical data.
