Tea towels, aprons, and bar mops handled so your kitchen never runs short

Tea towels, bar mops, kitchen rags, server aprons, chef whites and pants, server uniforms, polo shirts, tablecloths, napkins, bench cloths. Anything machine-washable that runs through your front-of-house or back-of-house operation.

Heavily-stained kitchen rags and aprons need high-temperature cycles and proper grease-cutting detergents. We use both. Cold-water domestic cycles leave grease film that builds up over time and turns whites yellow — proper commercial cycles avoid that and extend the linen's working life.

Most cafes and restaurants we work with started by running washing in the back room on a domestic machine. The breaking point is usually one of three things: the machine breaking down under hospitality-volume load (they're not built for daily commercial use); the smell that builds up in heavily-stained kitchen rags after months of cold-cycle washing; or the front-of-house staff member who's supposed to be at the till being three minutes late because they're folding tea towels.

Outsourcing converts the laundry pile into a scheduled pickup. The bar mops arrive folded. The tea towels arrive folded. The aprons arrive on hangers if you want them that way. Your staff stays at the front, your kitchen stays stocked, and nobody at table 4 notices a thing.

Same per-load rate as our other commercial segments. $60 + GST flat for the first 2 loads, $25 + GST per additional. One load is up to 5kg.

Busy kitchens typically run daily (1-2 loads per pickup, 6 days a week). Quieter cafes run twice-weekly. Bars often run on a Monday + Thursday schedule that aligns with weekend service prep. Book a regular slot at thewashing.club or text 0468 097 087.
