Why Using a Professional Laundry Service Could Be the Best Gift You Give Yourself This Year

Life is busy. Between work, family, pets, school runs and trying to have some kind of social life, the washing basket has a habit of overflowing… then multiplying. If you feel like you’re constantly chasing piles of laundry but never quite catching up, you’re not on your own.

That’s exactly why professional laundry services like Laundry Bliss exist – to take a boring, time-draining chore off your to-do list, so you can focus on everything (and everyone) else.

In this blog, we’ll walk through:

• Why more people are outsourcing their laundry

• The benefits of using a professional laundry service

• Who can really benefit (spoiler: it’s not just busy families!)

• How Laundry Bliss can help you stay on top of it all

Why people are outsourcing their laundry

Modern life has changed, but laundry hasn’t. Most households are still:

• Washing multiple loads a week

• Drying clothes around the house (hello, damp and condensation)

• Spending evenings or weekends ironing

Add in energy costs, British weather and the fact that many homes don’t have space for a tumble dryer or outdoor line… and laundry quickly becomes a proper headache.

That’s where a local, professional laundry service comes in. Instead of spending hours washing, drying and ironing, you hand it over – and get it back clean, fresh and ready to put away.

The benefits of using a professional laundry service

Using a service like Laundry Bliss isn’t just about convenience (although that’s a big part of it!). There are some really practical benefits too:

1. You get your time back

Imagine what you could do with the hours you currently spend:

• Loading and unloading the machine

• Hanging things up around the house

• Ironing school uniforms, bedding and workwear

Handing your washing over to a professional service gives you those hours back – every single week.

2. Consistent, high-quality results

Laundry is what we do all day, every day. That means:

• We know how to treat different fabrics properly

• We can help prevent colours running and shrinking

• We press and finish items so they look crisp, neat and fresh

From everyday clothes to bedding, towels, tablecloths and work uniforms – everything gets the same level of care.

3. No more laundry taking over the house

Drying clothes indoors isn’t just annoying – it can also contribute to damp, mould and that “musty” smell. Using a laundry service means:

• No more clothes draped over radiators and doors

• No more airers permanently set up in the living room

• Less moisture in the air – better for you and your home

You drop it off (or we collect it), and it comes back clean, dry and folded.

4. It can help you save money

It sounds backwards at first – paying for laundry to save money – but it can make sense when you add everything up:

• Fewer machine cycles = less water and electricity

• Less wear and tear on your own appliances

• No need to buy as many detergents and products

Plus, if you run a business, professional laundry can work out far more cost-effective than trying to keep on top of it in-house.

Who can benefit from a laundry service?

Honestly? Almost everyone. But there are some groups who tell us it makes the biggest difference to their week:

Busy families

School uniforms, PE kits, workwear, bedding, towels, sports kits… family laundry is relentless. A weekly wash–dry–fold service can be the difference between feeling constantly behind and finally feeling on top of things.

New parents

New baby + sleep deprivation + endless baby grows, muslins and bedding = laundry overload. Outsourcing some or all of it can take a huge weight off at a time when you really need it.

Professionals and shift workers

If you’re working long days, nights or rotating shifts, the last thing you want to do on your day off is laundry and ironing. Having it all done for you means you can actually rest.

Airbnb hosts & short-stay accommodation

Fresh, crisp bedding and fluffy towels are non-negotiable for guests – but turning laundry around quickly is hard work. A reliable commercial laundry service keeps your linen moving smoothly between bookings.

We regularly handle items for:

• Airbnb and serviced accommodation

• B&Bs and guest houses

• Salons and barbers

• Cafés, restaurants and bakeries

• Funeral directors

• Venues needing tablecloths and linen

Elderly or less mobile customers

Laundry baskets are heavy, and bending, lifting and ironing aren’t always possible or safe. A local laundry service with collection and delivery can be an absolute lifeline.

What Laundry Bliss offers

At Laundry Bliss, we keep things simple, flexible and friendly. Typical services include:

• Wash–dry–fold by weight – ideal for everyday laundry

• Bedding and duvets – perfect for fresh, hotel-style sleep

• Towels and bathroom laundry – great for homes and businesses

• Ironing services – from shirts and uniforms to bedding

• Commercial laundry – for salons, cafés, restaurants, Airbnbs and more

• Collection & delivery in local areas – with discounts when we’re picking up from several customers nearby

If you’ve got regular or bulk laundry (for example, weekly Airbnb linen or business uniforms), we can also provide special quotes to keep things cost-effective and predictable.

We also offer discounts for forces and blue-light workers with proof of ID, as a small thank you for everything you do.

How to get started

Getting help with your laundry is really straightforward:

1. Get in touch – call, message or pop in to talk through what you need

2. Choose your service – one-off, weekly, or tailored to your business

3. Drop off or book collection – we’ll confirm times and any special requests

4. We wash, dry and finish everything – with care and attention to detail

5. You enjoy the feeling of being on top of the washing for once!

Whether you’ve got one big “catch-up” load or you’re ready to make laundry one less thing to worry about long-term, we’re here to help.

Final thoughts

Most people don’t realise just how much time and energy laundry quietly steals from their week – until they hand it over and feel the difference.

If you’re tired of tripping over washing baskets, battling with damp clothes on airers and spending your evenings ironing instead of relaxing, a professional laundry service might be exactly what you need.

Let Laundry Bliss take the load off (literally), so you can get back to doing the things you actually enjoy.
