Letter from the Laundry Association to Finance Minister Magdalena Andersson and Business Minister Ibrahim Baylan
The government's crisis action to reduce rental costs in particularly vulnerable sectors should be extended to include laundry and textile service companies in SNI code 96.011 Industrial and institutional laundry. In order to reduce the negative effects of the corona pandemic, the government should also accelerate the work of extending the RUT deduction to cover laundry outside the home according to the RUT inquiry's interim report Fi2020 / 00389 / S1.

The west coast needs its laundries for the hospitality industry
www.hallandsposten.se
Without the demand for soft sheets and comfortable terry cloths and in the absence of restaurant guests who ask for set tables, the income in the local and regional laundry and textile service business disappears ...1500 new jobs can not wait - time for RUT to finally move away from home.
The government has had the report on its desk for six months - SOU 2020: 5 "More route services and raised the ceiling for the route deduction". It contains proposals for extending the square deduction to also include laundry at professional laundries and transport from and to the home.
For the customer, the washing cost would be reduced by 25% after square deductions and according to the investigator could mean, among other things:
• Increase in employment in the industry by 1 people
• 300% increase in sales in water washing for consumers
• Positive supply-side effects, possibly reduced sick leave from stress
• Positive for economic equality
• Reduced undeclared work
• Solves life puzzles
Why wait?
• The extension of the square deduction makes it easier for families with children and the elderly who need help.
According to Statistics Sweden, laundry is the most unequal household activity both in terms of average time and the proportion who carry out the activity. An extension of the square deduction is an important effort to counteract any negative effects on gender equality as a result of the corona pandemic.
• The professional laundries' quality-assured processes are completely set up to reduce resource use. From a climate and environmental point of view, it is therefore entirely appropriate to move laundry to optimized facilities.
We also need strong support that enables vulnerable companies to survive the current corona pandemic. And they are needed now - to give the industry better future prospects.
The cost?
The extension of the window for laundry is, according to many, a self-financed proposal that almost all, if not all, parties agree on. So press the decision button, we think.
