South Lakes Laundry

Allow us to introduce the South Lakes Laundry here is what Amanda Gaston has to say about the services she offers...


As my business has grown, it has become apparent that some clients are tied to their current laundry service provider because they also provide the bed linen for them, and to switch to my service would involve them needing to purchase their own bed linen and towels which can involve quite a lot of expense.

I am pleased to say that I am now able to offer to supply quality bed linen and towels where necessary and by arrangement.

I don't keep a very large ready supply of new linen and towels but rather discuss with clients their colour schemes etc and what they feel would compliment their own businesses. Quite often clients want to purchase their own linen, but like advice as to where to start looking for good quality, durable bedding which will withstand the rigours of constant laundering.

I always recommend Out of Eden as their linen and towels are hotel quality standard, they are a local supplier, competitive on price, and I have always enjoyed excellent service from them.


Once we have agreed on what would be the best designs moving forward, I order the bed linen and towels for clients so that they start with good quality, new linen which adds value to their own cottages in the eyes of their visitors.

Another benefit of choosing bed linen personal to a client is that each individual clients laundry is easily distinguishable and so errors don't occur whereby clients are left with an incorrect amount of laundry delivered back which finds them a little short and struggling to make up the beds, which is more likely to happen if everything is all white and of a similar design.

I thought I would give South Lakes Laundry a try, and I'm so glad I did, the service is second to none, it's reliable, it's taken all the worry of the laundry from my mind, and visitors often comment on how wonderful and fresh the bedding feels and smells!

If you would be interested in the laundry and/or towels provision service, then please don't hesitate to mention it to me when you make your initial enquiry.

A Guide to the Furniture and Furnishings Fire Safety

This guide, which has been prepared in consultation with the Local Authorities Coordinating Body on Food and Trading Standards and the Institute of Trading Standards Administration, is intended to help suppliers of these products understand how the new Regulations affect them.

http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/+/http://www.bis.gov.uk/files/file24685.pdf

"Use By" dates explained

Most prepacked foodstuffs must carry a date of minimum durability. This can be either a 'best before' date or a 'use by' date.

These date marks must be in a prominent place on the label, if this is difficult the manufacturer must state where the date can be found, e.g. best before: see date on lid.

It is an offence for unauthorised persons to change date marks. Manufacturers are the only ones authorised to do so.

'BEST BEFORE' DATE

This may take the form of the words 'best before' followed by the date, e.g. 'best before' 1 January 2003. The date marks on longer-life food may use the phrase 'best before end' followed by a date,

e.g. 'best before' end March 2003. This is the date up to and including which the food can be expected to remain at peak quality if properly stored. Food may be edible after this date; however its quality may suffer, e.g. potato crisps might become soft.

It is not an offence under the Food Labelling Regulations to sell food passed it's 'best before' date; however an offence may have been committed under Section 14 of the Food Safety Act 1990 as the food may

not be of the 'quality demanded by the purchaser'. The retailer is responsible for ensuring that food sold has not deteriorated beyond the point acceptable to the consumer.

It is a criminal offence to sell food not of the 'quality demanded'.

'USE BY' DATE

This consists of the words 'use by' followed by the date, e.g. 'use by' 5 April 2003. The 'use by' date is used for food which are highly perishable and which can after a short period cause an immediate health risk; examples are meat pies and some ready prepared meals. These foods could become a health risk if used after the 'use by' date. It clearly instructs consumers as to the date a product should be used by. Some foods, such as bread, are highly perishable but do not carry the immediate risk and are therefore labelled with a 'best before date'.

It is a criminal offence to sell, or have on your premises exposed for sale, under the Food Labelling Regulations, any product that has gone beyond its 'use by' date. Any product passed its 'use by' date must be removed from sale.

EGGS

There are some specific rules that only apply to eggs. Eggs must be marked with a 'best before' date. This date may be up to a maximum of 28 days after the eggs are laid. Eggs must be sold to the consumer within 21 days after the eggs were laid, this means that they must be sold 7 days before the 'best before' date expires,

e.g. Eggs marked 'best before 22 March' must be sold by 15 March.

It is an offence to supply eggs if there are less than 7 days before the 'best before' date expires.

STORAGE CONDITIONS

Both 'use by' dates and 'best before' dates may be accompanied by storage conditions. The storage conditions given on the label must be followed by the retailer to avoid the deterioration of the food whilst it is in their possession.

Towel Care

Do not mix towels with polycotton or cotton fabrics during washing or tumble drying. Make sure your towels do not come into contact with cleaning products containing bleach. Facial cleansers and skin treatments contain benzoyl peroxide which can also damage towels.

WASHING

Separate white/light/dark colours. Use detergent without optical brighteners for best results.

Avoid using fabric softeners in every wash because they reduce the absorbency of the towels.

Do not overfill the washing machine: we recommend you fill it to 60% capacity.

Most stains will be removed at a maximum temperature of 60c. Use a long spin cycle and remove the towels from the washing machine as soon as possible to minimise creasing.

DRYING

Do not overfill the tumble drier.

Remove towels from dryer when 95 to 97 percent dry.

Avoid extremely hot drying temperatures.

Bed Linen Care

Do not mix poly cotton or percale bed linen with cotton fabrics (especially towels) during washing or tumble drying – it could pick up loose fibres and cause pilling.

WASHING

Separate white/light/dark colours.

Use a colour safe detergent that does not contain optical brighteners.

Do not overfill the washing machine.

Wash at a temperature of no more than 40°C.

Remove the bed linen from the washing machine as soon as possible.

DRYING

Do not overfill the tumble drier.

Dry on a cool setting – no more than 70°C to 80°C

Do not over-dry and use a cool down period allowing the cloths, and walls of the machine to cool completely before stopping the tumble drier. (This will minimise creasing.)

IRONING

Use a cool to warm iron.

Do not bleach or dry clean.
