PET GROOMING LAUNDRY COST CALCULATOR
WHAT IS TOWEL LAUNDRY REALLY COSTING YOUR GROOMING SHOP?
Use this free pet grooming laundry cost calculator to estimate how much your pet grooming salon, mobile groomer, kennel or daycare spends washing, drying, folding, storing and replacing reusable towels.
Enter your average pets per day, towels used per pet, operating days and fully loaded employee labor cost. The calculator uses the same 2026 U.S. commercial utility and equipment cost model as the salon calculator, applied to pet grooming laundry.
You’ll receive an estimated cost per reusable towel, cost per pet, annual laundry expense and active staff hours—plus a like-for-like comparison with DAVELEN disposable towels using the same towel count.
FOR SHOPS AND VANS THAT WASH ON SITE
Set the sliders to match your shop.
Tub liner and table towels count. Large or double-coat dogs use more; cats and small short coats use fewer.
Defaults: 6 pets/day, 3.5 towels per pet, $22/hour fully loaded U.S. labor (2026). A large or double-coat dog uses more towels.
ADVANCED ASSUMPTIONS
Daily towels equal pets per day × towels per pet. Another complete washing, drying, folding and restocking cycle is added whenever the total exceeds 32 towels.
YOUR REGULAR TOWEL IS COSTING YOU
Labor is the cost
Wet dogs make towels heavier, and collecting, transferring, folding and restocking adds staff time to every reusable towel.
Hair adds work
Coat hair in the lint trap and washer can mean more cleanup, smaller effective loads and extra rinse time.
A like-for-like result
Both options use the same number of towels per pet. No hidden reduction claim is built into the comparison.
