What goes wrong
The Charing morning goes wrong before the first coffee
Almost nobody around TN27 changes linen supplier to save money. They change because the same thing went wrong three weeks running.
-
Deliveries that land after opening
A cafe opens earlier than almost anything else on the street. A drop timed for mid-morning is a drop that missed the shift it was for, and in Charing that means serving the first hours on yesterday's cloths.
-
Cloths that come back grey
Coffee oil, milk protein and syrup are not the same soil as food service. Washed on a general cycle they build up, whites go dull within weeks, and the counter is where it shows.
-
Running short on the busy day
Par counts set on a quiet Tuesday leave you short on Saturday. Most Charing cafes are not short of linen overall — they are short of it twice a week.
How it works
Four steps, and Charing stops managing linen
Most of the work happens before the first collection. Get the count and the timing right and the service stops being something you manage.
-
The count
We count what Charing actually uses across a full week — not an average week, because the average is exactly the number that leaves you short on a Saturday.
Half an hour, on site
-
The round
TN27 already has a collection day. We fit you to it and agree a time that lands before opening rather than during it.

-
The switch
The changeover in Charing overlaps by design — new stock lands while the old contract is still running, so no shift is caught between the two.
No gap in service
-
The account
A named account manager who knows your site and the TN27 round — not a ticket number and a call centre.
One name, not a queue
Running more than one site around Ashford? The same account manager covers all of them, on staggered days so no site is left short.
How it is processed
Nothing from Charing leaves our own plants
There are two buildings between your linen and ours, and we own both. Charing collections run 52.4 miles to our Wembley plant. Nothing is passed to a third party in between.
Cafe soil is its own problem. Coffee oil, milk protein and syrup need a different wash to food-service linen, so aprons and cloths run on their own classification rather than whatever the machine was doing before.

Changing supplier is not the risk Charing operators think
The reason Charing operators put up with a supplier they have stopped rating is timing: there is no good week to risk it. That is a scheduling problem, not a reason to stay.
- Before you commit
We count a real week, not an average one
We watch a full Charing week rather than take a number off your last invoice — the invoice tells us what you were sold, not what you used.
- The handover
Stock lands before the old supplier stops
Nothing is stood down until the replacement is physically on your shelf.
- After
Par counts adjust once we have seen a month
Any first count is a guess. The difference is whether anyone comes back and corrects it — after four weeks, we do.
Nothing here needs you to be out of contract first — the count and the quote cost nothing.
The week you switch is the week nobody notices.

Our members expect fresh sweat towels immediately after back-to-back spinning classes. They handle our daily volume seamlessly, and I would single out the punctuality and the clean, long-lasting scent of the eco-friendly detergents.
Marcus Thorne Studio Manager · Boutique fitness studio -
In clinical and aesthetic practice, hygiene standards have to meet rigorous compliance. High-temperature sanitised gowns, drapes and bed covers arrive reliably every week. I trust their quality control completely.
Dr Elena Rostova Clinic Director · Private healthcare clinic -
For high-end short-stay apartments, guest reviews live and die by linen quality. We get hotel-grade crispness that consistently earns us five-star cleanliness ratings, and the communication lines are short when something needs resolving.
Beatrice Dupont Head of Housekeeping · Luxury serviced apartments -
We use dozens of salon towels and client gowns every day. Stubborn hair dye and product stains come out effortlessly and our capes still look new. They are an indispensable part of the daily flow here.
Chloe St. Laurent Salon Owner & Manager · Hair & beauty salon -
We rely on clean bolster covers, fleece blankets and eye pillows. Delicate fabrics are treated with care while still getting a deep, hypoallergenic sanitisation, and everything comes back beautifully presented.
Hannah Sterling Studio Coordinator · Yoga & pilates studio -
From velvet seat throws to staff aprons and heavy bar towels, our eclectic mix of textiles is handled without fuss. The turnaround times and the account management are what stand out.
Kieran Davies Venue & Hospitality Manager · Boutique cinema & lounge -
As a family-run Victorian B&B we need a partner who understands traditional hospitality. Our heritage cotton sheets are treated with real care, the drivers are friendly and the weekly delivery is consistent.
Arthur Pendelton Proprietor & Manager · Traditional bed & breakfast -
Back-to-back conferences and galas mean huge quantities of table skirts, stage linens and catering napkins at short notice. They have never missed a deadline on any of it.

The area
Charing, specifically
A historic village on the Pilgrims' Way, featuring an ancient Archbishop's Palace and traditional charm. Unique to Charing.
Cafes here sit on the TN27 round, and the constraint is the clock rather than the distance — Charing opens before most of what we serve, so the drop is timed against opening.

Charing cafe laundry — the questions we get most
Which round covers Charing?
Yes — Charing sits on the TN27 round, 7 days, 52.4 miles from our Wembley plant.
- Shared with Lenham, Ashford and Wye — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
- The driver knows the streets around Charing — the same crew runs it weekly, so nobody is reading a map on your doorstep.
- Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because of that distance.
Is apron hire available to Charing cafes?
Both, and mixed accounts are normal. The two sit on one invoice and one round.
- Hire — the count is maintained for you, including the items that wear out first.
- Wash-only — your own branded aprons come back to you, the same items, not pooled.
- Plenty of cafes do both — hired glass cloths and tea towels, own-branded aprons on wash-only.
We run short on Saturdays — what then?
Tell your account manager and collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.
- If it happens twice, the par count is wrong — and resetting it is our job, not a favour.
- Most Charing cafes are not short of linen overall — the shortage has a shape, and the shape is Saturday.
- Seasonal swings are planned in — Charing in December is not Charing in February, and the par count should know that.
We have a small kitchen — same round?
No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same TN27 collection and the same invoice.
- No second supplier and no second delivery day — one account covers both sides of the counter.
- Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — priced per item on the account you already have.
- 2 restaurants around TN27 are on this round too — we are not learning kitchen work on your account.
When does the TN27 round reach Charing?
That is the point of putting Charing on the TN27 round rather than a separate trip. Cafes open earlier than almost anything else we serve.
- The time is agreed when the account opens — it goes on the round sheet, not into a delivery window.
- Timed around Charing because that is where the delay actually happens.
- If a drop is missed, collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.
Why do our whites go grey?
It is the wash, not the cloth. Run on the wrong programme they accumulate rather than lift.
- Cafe cloths and aprons run on their own classification — not as the tail end of a kitchen load.
- Milk protein needs the right temperature, not just a hotter one — too hot sets it into the fibre.
- Grey whites are usually a wash problem, not an age problem — if stock is replaced every few months, the cycle is wrong.
Is there a minimum term?
No long-term tie-in and no exit fee.
- Terms flex with seasonal demand — you are not held to a peak figure through a quiet quarter.
- Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — the count and the quote commit you to nothing.
- Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — you are never between suppliers.
Are we too small an account in Charing?
No minimum, on any line. Most of what we collect in TN27 is exactly that size.
- Small sites go on the same TN27 round — so you are not paying for a dedicated trip into Charing.
- 1 cafes around TN27 are already on it — which is why the timings suit opening rather than check-out.
- Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in Charing and a busy July are the same account.
Something specific to your Charing cafe?
Ask us directlyRewashing Charing linen is the real environmental cost
Most of the environmental cost of cafe linen is rewashing and replacing it. Getting the classification right the first time does more than any claim on a van.
- One vehicle covers TN27, so adding Charing adds a stop rather than a journey.
- Cafe cloths washed on their own classification last longer before replacement.
- Hire stock is mended and rotated through its full life rather than discarded early.
- More than 80% of the fleet running into Ashford is fully electric.
