Laundry Service for School Districts

§ How the account works

Built for a district, not a storefront.

One invoice to the district

Every site sends its own laundry and all of it accrues to one district account, billed once a month. No site pays at pickup and no teacher fronts anything.

Every room keeps its own account

Orders land on the classroom, not on a district-wide pile. So does the history, so a room that is missing something has a record to check instead of a guess.

Fixed route days per program

Each program gets its own service day or days and keeps them all year. Your staff learn one day, not a schedule.

Your calendar drives the route

Breaks, holidays and non-student days are read off the board-approved calendar before the school year starts, so a closure is handled the week before instead of discovered by a driver at the gate.

§ The bag system

Two bags per room, labeled.

The thing that goes wrong with district laundry is not the washing. It is four classrooms' worth of the same item coming back in one delivery and nobody knowing which room it belongs to.

So every room gets two bags. One sits at the site filling up while the other is with us. Each is labeled with the district, the site and the room, and carries that room's account barcode.

YOUR DISTRICT / YOUR SITE (RM. 4) / 1 of 2 YOUR DISTRICT / YOUR SITE (RM. 4) / 2 of 2

The rule we work to: the bag goes back to the room, the invoice goes to the district.

§ Getting set up

Four steps, then it runs itself.

Send the site list

Sites, room numbers, a contact at each one, and the day of the week that works for the program.

We build the accounts

One district account, one linked record per room. Sites already cleaning with us keep the history they have.

Labeled bags go out

Two bags per room, labeled with the district, the site and the room, each carrying that room’s account barcode.

First run

We collect on the program’s first scheduled day. The first invoice arrives at the end of that month.

§ What we already run

District routes are the work we know best. We run four recurring route contracts for Sacramento-area districts, from a three-site program to one covering twenty-six sites, on set weekdays through the school year. The calendar for the year ahead is read before it starts, so the thirty-odd closed days are planned for rather than absorbed.

§ Questions

What districts ask
before they sign up.

How does billing work across a lot of sites?

The district has one account and every room is linked to it. Orders from any site attach to that account, and at the end of the month one invoice goes to whoever handles the books. It arrives itemized, so you can see what each site sent.

Can we bill by program instead of by district?

Yes. Programs that are funded separately can each have their own account with their own invoice, and the rooms link to that instead. It is set when we build the accounts.

How do you keep one room's things from ending up in another room?

Every room gets two bags so one is always at the site while the other is with us. Each is labeled with the district, the site and the room, and carries that room’s barcode, so intake never depends on reading handwriting on a tag.

What happens on a closure or a break?

We read the board-approved calendar for the year ahead of time and plan around the closed days, including the run before a long break and the first run back. Nobody has to call us the morning of.

Can we add or drop a site mid-year?

Yes. A new site is a new linked record on the same account and takes a day to set up. Dropping one does not disturb the rest of the route.

Is there a minimum number of sites?

No. We run contracts from three sites up to twenty-six. Call and we will tell you honestly whether the route makes sense for your volume.
