Wholesale Janitorial Supply
Monarch Brands is known for supplying bulk microfiber cloths, mops, and hardware to Janitorial and Sanitation (JanSan) Distributors. We have the capacity to ship containers of bulk microfiber mops to national distribution centers, truck pallets of bulk rags to regional chains, and blind drop ship a pack of microfiber cloths directly to your customers. Our JanSan lines evolve with the times. For example, in response to COVID-19, we developed lines of non-woven pre-soaked disinfectant wipes and SilverSure antimicrobial treated microfiber cloths. We private label wholesale microfiber cloths for several companies, and can do so for you.

Wholesale Textile Rental
Monarch Brands wholesale textile rental lines are sought after by commercial laundries due to their longevity and quality. For instance, our bulk institutional towels blend the strength of a poly ground with the softness of 100% ring-spun cotton. We carry several weights and qualities of bar mops in five color stripes, often private labeling for larger textile rental companies. SmartChoice microfiber mops are available in light-weight foam-filled mops (for high-loss environments) to microfiber-filled mops that last 500 washes. Our Mariposa napery marries spun poly filament with spun poly to achieve a perfect balance of price and quality. Ask our laundry experts to work with you. We’ll recommend samples for you to put through the wringer, then provide you with an affordable program.

Wholesale Hospitality Supply
Supplying bale packed bulk institutional towels to hotels is what got us started in the linen business. We understand that making the best white towel isn’t necessarily about making the plushest, most massive towel. It’s about providing excellent choices for the budget. We work with our customers to offer towels that balance lifecycle with comfort. Our towel lines have grown to include wholesale institutional white towel cartons, 100% cotton colored towels, specialist gym towels, makeup removal towels, and sheets.

Wholesale Industrial Supply
Wholesale industrial supply is our wheelhouse. We started in the bulk rag business and were one of the first companies to implement a private label wiper program. We re-purpose millions of pounds of used textile products annually. These items are generated from used clothing or discarded institutional textile use. All products are cut and inspected by hand. We have expanded since the early days, offering several woven rags, retail packed products, bulk microfiber cloths, and mops, as well as all textiles necessary to keep the wheels of industry turning.

We hired rug and towel specialists with first-hand mill relationships, bolstered the marketing and design department, and manage a healthy new product development program. We work with department store chains to develop trending kitchen towels, bath towels, and microfiber products. The warehouse has evolved with a sizable pick and pack area to handle blind dropshipping for national chains. Our e-commerce department has established MAP for every SKU that’s available to be sold online. Talk to us about developing a retail or e-commerce program today.

How to Determine Hotel Linens Stock Using a Wholesale Linen PAR Calculator

Using a Linen PAR Calculator

Hotels and vacation rental properties purchase hotel linens wholesale. The type of bulk towels and sheets required depends on the rooms and amenities of the hotel. Factors to consider include the number of king, queen, full, and twin beds. Whether the hotel uses two flat sheets or a flat and fitted. The number of bathrooms, and the number of towels you provide per guest. Does the hotel offer makeup removal washcloths? Is there a pool, gym, spa, or salon. Our hospitality linen PAR calculator is an excellent tool for guest linen planning.

PAR = Periodic Automatic Replenishment

“PAR” stands for “Periodic Automatic Replenishment.” In the hotel industry, especially in housekeeping, PAR stock refers to the standard amount of wholesale guest towels and sheets that must be on hand at any given time to support daily operational needs without any shortage.

The PAR level is determined based on the maximum expected usage, considering the peaks and valleys of hotel occupancy and activities. Once the inventory falls below the PAR level, a replenishment order is triggered to bring the stock back up to the established PAR level.

Factors that determine PAR level for wholesale textiles include:

Guest Occupancy Rates: Higher occupancy rates increase the demand for fresh linens. As of writing this, the average occupancy rate is 64%, thus occupancy rates acts as a divisor and will cut the number of wholesale linens needed.

Frequency of Linen Changes: How often does the hotel change linens for occupied rooms? Daily changes require a higher stock compared to less frequent changes.

Laundry Turnaround Time: If the hotel has an on-site laundry facility, the time taken to wash, dry, and prepare linens for reuse will play a role. A quicker turnaround might mean you can maintain a slightly lower PAR level. However, if linens are sent out to an external laundry service, the turnaround might be longer, necessitating a higher PAR.

Loss and Damage Rates: Linens can be stained, torn, or damaged. Estimating how frequently this occurs helps determine your PAR level.

Seasonal Variations: In some locales, the demand for particular linens (like heavier blankets) might increase in colder seasons. Alternatively, beach resorts might have a higher demand for pool and resort towels during warmer months.

Budgetary Considerations: While having a high PAR for contingencies is ideal, budgetary constraints might lead to a more conservative PAR estimation.

Special Events or Services: Additional linens might be needed if the hotel frequently hosts conferences or weddings or offers spa services.

Historical Usage Data: Analyzing past usage can provide insights into consumption patterns and help estimate future needs.

For most hotels, a common practice is to have a linen PAR level that represents three to five times the quantity required for one complete change of all rooms (though this can vary based on the factors above). For instance, if one complete change requires 100 sets of linens, a hotel might maintain a stock of 300 to 500 sets, given a PAR of 3 to 5.

It is essential to periodically review and adjust the linen PAR levels to ensure optimal stock management and guest satisfaction.
