Why Professional Laundry Matters More When Temperatures Drop

Dez Jennings

When winter settles over Wisconsin, businesses across hospitality, healthcare, food service, and industry feel the shift immediately. Guest traffic changes, workloads increase, and the environment itself becomes more demanding. Snow, salt, slush, and heightened illness rates put added pressure on your linens, uniforms, and floor care products.

That’s why professional laundry service isn’t just helpful in winter, it’s essential.

ABay Towel understands the unique seasonal challenges Wisconsin businesses face, and we’re equipped to keep you running clean, safe, and efficient all winter long.

❄️ 1. Winter Weather Creates Tougher Stains, Bay Towel Eliminates Them

Winter brings a mix of salt, sand, slush, and moisture into every Wisconsin business. Whether it’s a restaurant entryway or a hotel hallway, these elements quickly soil mats, linens, and uniforms.

Professional laundry systems can remove stains and buildup that standard washing cannot, preserving the look and longevity of your textiles. Our commercial-grade detergents and controlled wash temperatures ensure each item is deep-cleaned and protected.


❄️ 2. Cold & Flu Season Demands Higher Hygiene Standards

From December through March, Wisconsin sees a spike in:

  • Cold and flu cases
  • RSV
  • Norovirus
  • General winter illness

For healthcare facilities, restaurants, and hotels, this means hygiene becomes a top priority.

Bay Towel’s high-temperature sanitization processes and hygienically sealed packaging help reduce the risk of cross-contamination. Your linens and uniforms aren’t just clean, they’re clinically clean.


❄️ 3. Higher Linen Demand During Winter Surges

Hotels experience increased winter tourism. Restaurants handle more holiday gatherings. Clinics manage higher patient volume. Even industrial workplaces see seasonal shifts in uniform demand.

Professional laundry ensures:

  • Consistent supply levels even during peak season
  • Proper inventory rotation
  • No downtime due to on-site laundry overload

Our delivery schedules remain reliable, even through Wisconsin snowstorms.


❄️ 4. Protecting Your Floors From Snow & Salt

Floor care is one of the biggest winter challenges for Wisconsin businesses. Entry mats become saturated quickly, and salt debris damages flooring.

Bay Towel provides:

  • High-absorption, quick-drying mats
  • Regular laundering that restores mat performance
  • Scheduled mat rotation to reduce winter wear

A cleaner floor means fewer slips and a safer environment for guests and staff.


❄️ 5. Winter Uniforms Must Work Harder

Team members face:

  • Freezing temperatures
  • Wet conditions
  • Bulkier outerwear
  • More frequent changes from snow or spills

Bay Towel’s uniform rental and laundering programs ensure garments stay clean, warm, and professional. We handle the wear-and-tear so your team can focus on what they do best.


❄️ 6. Professional Laundry Saves Time & Money When It Matters Most

Winter is the busiest and often the most unpredictable season for many Wisconsin businesses. Outsourcing laundry helps you:

  • Reduce labor strain
  • Cut utility costs
  • Avoid equipment breakdowns
  • Maintain predictable expenses
  • Streamline operations during your busiest months

When your staff is busy delivering great service, Bay Towel keeps the back end running smoothly.


❄️ 7. Reliability Through Wisconsin’s Toughest Weather

Snowstorms don’t slow your business and they don’t slow ours. Bay Towel invests heavily in:

  • All-weather delivery fleets
  • Contingency staffing
  • Redundant equipment
  • Local customer service teams

So even when winter throws its worst at Wisconsin, your linens arrive on schedule.


Winter Won’t Wait And Neither Should Your Laundry Plan

Wisconsin winters are harsh, but they don’t have to interrupt your operations. With nearly a century of experience, Bay Towel understands our state’s seasonal demands better than anyone.

Professional laundry service isn’t just a convenience in winter, it’s a strategic advantage.
