As summer winds down and autumn approaches, hospitality businesses face a subtle but important shift: guests expect cosy comfort, fresh linens, and a seamless experience as the seasons change. At Gleaming Services, we help hotels, B&Bs and holiday lets stay ahead by keeping linens in top condition and ready for the season ahead.

1. Check Your Linen Inventory

After months of heavy summer use, it’s a great time to audit your linen stock:

Inspect towels, sheets, and pillowcases for wear or stains
Replace any items that are thinning, faded, or damaged
Consider adding blankets to bedrooms for cooler autumn nights

2. Freshen Up Your Autumn Colours and Styles

While crisp white linen is always a classic, autumn offers an opportunity to refresh your look:

Add warm-toned throws, bed runners, or cushions
Rotate towels and bath mats to reflect the cosier season

3. Prepare for Seasonal Cleaning Challenges

Autumn can bring damp weather, mud, and leaves tracked into guest rooms:

Keep extra towels on hand for wet days
Wash and dry linens promptly to prevent musty smells
Make use of professional laundry services to maintain hygiene standards

4. Why Partner with Gleaming Services This Season

Transitioning into autumn is easier when you have a trusted laundry partner:

Consider scheduling a linen refresh at the start of autumn. Rotating your stock and topping up with fresh, high-quality linens ensures your guests feel the comfort and care they expect - no matter the season.
