The hotel belt from Majorda to Cavelossim and the guesthouses of Palolem and Agonda wash sheets and towels every day. A mechanised laundry near Margao can take this work off smaller places that have no laundry of their own.

This is a commercial laundry that collects bed sheets, towels, table linen and staff uniforms from hotels, guesthouses and restaurants, washes and irons them with industrial machines, and returns them folded and packed.
South Goa's coast, from Majorda, Colva and Benaulim down to Varca, Cavelossim and Palolem, is lined with resorts, hotels, guesthouses and villa rentals, and tourism is a leading pillar of the district's economy. Large resorts often run their own laundries, but many small and mid-sized places lack the space or water for one. A site near Margao is a short drive from the Salcete beaches, though the Canacona beaches around Palolem mean a longer run.
You need industrial washing and drying machines, a roller ironer for sheets, a steam boiler, two delivery vans, and consent from the Goa State Pollution Control Board for your wastewater. The hard part is the season. Work peaks from winter through spring and falls sharply in the monsoon, while loan payments and wages do not stop. Lost or stained items also cause disputes, so tag and count every piece.
Win clients by visiting hotel managers and housekeeping heads with a trial offer, and sign contracts for the season. Washing uniforms for hospitals and clinics in Margao, and for factories in the Verna industrial estate, can help fill the quiet months.
