💩 Why it's ugly

It is laundry with a calendar problem attached. Weekends, holidays, and checkout windows become your new spiritual practice.

💰 Why it prints money

Short-term rental hosts need clean linens on schedule or they get public shame in review form. Pricing is usually per bag, per pound, or per property, and recurring volume builds quickly once a property manager trusts you.

🗺️ The launch playbook 🔒

First 30 days

Register the entity and get the basic insurance sorted before anything else. Call the three biggest local operators and ask what they refuse to do — that refusal list is your launch menu. Price the first ten jobs deliberately low to collect reviews, then raise rates fifteen percent.

Days 31–60

Buy the used equipment, not the new one. The route density is what makes this profitable, so cluster your first customers within a twenty minute radius and decline anything outside it.

This is the part that makes money.
