What restaurants send us
Anything that fits a standard residential washer and dryer, packed by item type when it comes back.
Aprons
Front of house and kitchen aprons, folded and packed together.
Cloth napkins
Washed and folded. Wine and sauce stains should be treated before they go in the bag.
Table linen
Tablecloths and runners that fit a residential machine. A cloth that needs a machine to itself is $8 extra.
Bar and kitchen towels
Everyday bar towels and side towels. Cloths soaked in cooking oil should stay out of the bag.
Chef coats and staff shirts
Choose hang dry on Standard and include hangers if you want coats back hung rather than folded.
Your own laundry bags
Use your own bags for front of house and kitchen, and they come back washed too.
How it fits around service
Order after lunch service and the linen is back by 8pm the next day on Standard. Keep two sets in rotation and you are always covered.
Bag by section
Separate bags for napkins, aprons and kitchen towels make the return easier to put away.
Order before 3pm
Place the order in the app. Your Laundry Pro messages you with a pickup time and collects by 8pm.
Washed your way
Cold by default, hot on request. Include bleach for whites and it will be used as you instruct.
Back by 8pm next day
Folded and packed by type on Standard. Express covers a busy weekend.
Why restaurants use Poplin

Good to know before you start
- Stains are not pre-treated
Laundry Pros do not look for or treat stains. Treat wine, sauce and grease marks before the linen goes in the bag.
- Keep oil soaked cloths out
Rags soaked in cooking oil can ignite in a dryer. Those need a specialist commercial laundry.
- No ironing
Poplin is wash, dry and fold. Napkins and tablecloths come back folded, not pressed.
- Large banquet cloths may not fit
Anything too big for a residential machine comes back unwashed, in a separate bag, at no charge.
