What we wash

Double-breasted jackets, check and black trousers, bib and waist aprons, skull caps and neckerchiefs. Named jackets are kept with their owner’s set; shared stock comes back counted by size.

  • Chef jackets, short and long sleeve
  • Chef trousers
  • Bib and waist aprons
  • Skull caps and neckerchiefs
  • Front-of-house uniform pieces

Stains kitchens actually get

Fat from the fryer and the pass, blood from butchery, tomato, beetroot, turmeric and red wine jus. Each is treated before the main wash with a method that suits it: protein marks cold first, fats with a degreasing pre-treatment, plant colours separately. Collars and cuffs are pre-treated every time, because sweat builds up there first.

Kept apart from everything else

Kitchen whites never share a wash with table linen, front-of-house napkins or cleaning cloths. Coloured trousers and aprons are washed away from white jackets so nothing greys. Side towels and oven cloths, if you send them, travel in their own bags.

How collection works

Most kitchens choose a pickup after the busiest service and a return before the next one. Tell us how many cooks you have and how often they change, and we will suggest how many sets each person needs so nobody is left without a clean jacket.

  • Empty pockets and remove stud buttons
  • Bag whites apart from table linen
  • Note any heavy stains on the bag tag
