Sheets and towels eat the margin on a Caribbean vacation rental. Humidity, salt air, sunscreen, and same-day turnovers are hard on the linen. This guide compares three ways to run it. The only LAUNDET prices here are the published ones: $179, $249, and custom Enterprise.
Three ways to handle it
The first is washing in the apartment. You, or your cleaner, own the sheets and use the machine on site. The cash outlay per turnover can look low, until the dryer fails or the guest walks in and the towels are still damp.
The second is an outside laundry that picks up and returns. You still own the inventory, so stain replacements stay yours. We do not publish prices for that market.
The third is LAUNDET's subscription. Hotel-grade sheets and towels in rotation, plus laundry and the locker, inside the monthly plan. It is not pay-per-piece. The detail is on sheets and towels and Airbnb laundry.
What is actually published
- Essential: $179 per unit per month. Up to 12 turnovers, hotel-grade sheets and towels, the locker, and alerts.
- Premium: $249. Everything in Essential, a welcome kit, a dashboard in the plan, and priority 24/7 support.
- Enterprise: custom, from 10 units or condominiums.
- Turnover cleaning is billed separately. The marketplace is part of the plan. No cleaning rate is published.
The locker, in the lobby
The cleaner does not wait on a city route. They open the locker in the condo lobby or common area, drop what is soiled, and pull what is clean. It is not inside the apartment. Guests open it with a QR code too, with no app. This is the 2026 pilot in Punta Cana, Cap Cana, and Bávaro, not a national network.
When each model makes sense
Washing in the apartment is often enough if you rent very little and live there. An outside laundry helps if you want to drop the washing and still own the sheets. The subscription fits when you do not want to buy inventory, you live away, or you no longer want the cleaner to also be the laundry. We do not publish a night-count threshold or a dollar saving. Those numbers are not on the site.
If the apartment is in Punta Cana, Cap Cana, or Bávaro, you can join the pilot. From signing to the first guest, the published timeline is 21 days.
