How we work it out.

The figures in the simulation are based on averages for the Portuguese hotel sector. Full transparency: here are the assumptions we use for the cost of an in-house laundry.

Staff — the biggest cost
~80 kg/day
Realistic throughput per operator at hotel pace (sorting, washing, drying and folding included). Above a certain volume you need a second person — and this is the cost that catches hoteliers out most often.
Detergents & chemicals
€0.17 / kg
Average cost of main detergent, pre-wash, softener, oxygen bleach and descaler. Varies with the type of textile and how heavily soiled it is.
Energy & water
€0.26 / kg
Combined average consumption of electricity, gas (water heating) and mains water. Laundries running older equipment use up to 40% more.
Equipment & maintenance
€0.16 / kg
Depreciation of professional machines (washer, dryer, calender) over 7-10 years, plus preventive maintenance, spare parts and insurance.
Seasonality do Algarve
+30 % at peak
Average increase in volume from June to September. With Arelia you absorb that swing without paying for extra fixed capacity.
Arelia — pricing
Custom
Arelia’s price per kg varies with the monthly volume contracted, location and collection frequency. Every quote is one of a kind — and the typical saving falls between 20% and 35% against an in-house laundry.
