Xeros Technology : 6 Things Your Hotel Could Do After Cutting Laundry Costs with Xeros

By utilizing Xeros polymer bead laundry systems in your hotel, you can cut up to 80% in water costs alone, without even considering the savings in electricity, chemical costs, and linen reclaim.

For a typical 250+ room hotel spending $13,926 a year in water and sewage costs on their in-house laundry operation, that means $10,444 in savings each year-leaving us with the tantalizing question: What could your hotel do with the extra money?

Here are a few services, trends, and updates that are helping make hotels competitive in today's market which might be worth spending your savings on.

Update your website: 57% of all travel reservations are made on the internet and 65.4% of those are made through a hotel brand website -rather than a merchant site. So if it's been a few years since your hotel invested in an upgrade, now is the time.

Develop an app: If your hotel's website is up-to-date, you could spend your hotel laundry savings on developing an app, or developing new capabilities for an already existing app. Today's hotel guests expect a heightened level of convenience, and an app can certainly enhance that.

Add a local touch:Even hotels that are part of larger chains can benefit from adding local flavor to individual properties. Whether it's investing in local art for guest rooms, featuring a well-known local food item on the room service or restaurant menu, or partnering with local business and tourism partners to offer guests new experiences, creating a connection with the community can truly elevate your hotel.

Invest in other green technologies: With a Xeros system in place, your hotel could invest laundry cost savings on other green technologies and use sustainability as a branding touchpoint.

Spring for a design upgrade: Adding an outdoor (or indoor) garden area, using creative lighting fixtures, or purchasing a few pieces of beautiful accent furniture for the lobby area can make a big difference in a guest's perception of your property for a small investment.

Implement new health and wellness programs: Hotels are far from immune to growing health and wellness trends. Travelers are now looking to maintain healthy lifestyles, whether they're traveling for business or pleasure, so investing in health and wellness programs for guests is a great way to spend your hotel laundry savings.

Maybe there's another project or program that's been on the back-burner at your hotel for years. Whatever your goal is, you could make serious progress toward bettering your hotel by evaluating your current laundry costs and taking advantage of the savings possible with Xeros.
