Owning a bakery is ambitious and challenging; you’re not just managing staff and providing high-quality desserts but also making sure your work uniforms are professionally cleaned. This can be time-consuming, but the good news is that Laundryheap can be the bread and butter of your laundry successes as there are many benefits of a laundry service for your bakery.
1. Save Time and Money
The bakery industry is flowing with high costs and expensive equipment. The last thing you want to consider is an in-house laundry because you’ll need to pay for washing machines and the resources to operate them.
The benefits of partnering with a laundry service outweigh these problems because it will save you time and money.
2. Quality Services Provided
Setting a culture at your bakery where cleaning is taken seriously is essential. Our services will help contribute to your goals and give you a variety of options. Our cleaning services will guarantee your staff’s aprons are spotless and professionally cleaned. If you want your aprons to look tidy and neat, we also offer ironing services to get rid of the annoying wrinkles.
Furthermore, at Laundryheap, we don’t just offer cleaning and ironing services. You can also rent towels from us. If your bakery is short of hand towels or kitchen towels to dry your plates, we can provide your bakery with new towels!
3. Delivery Service That Works On Your Schedule
Packing the dirty aprons, tablecloths, and towels and then dropping them off at a launderette yourself can be tiring. However, it doesn’t have to be this way because, at Laundryheap, we work on your schedule. All you need to do is book a collection date and we’ll collect your laundry on the same day and deliver it back for free the next day!
4. Cleaner Aprons, Happier Staff
It can be quite mundane and tedious for staff to always take their aprons home with them for cleaning. For some, even when they are washing them at home, the work stress doesn’t stop. However, we make it easier for your bakery and staff. By letting us take care of the laundry, staff productivity and morale will go up.
5. 24/7 Customer Support Team
The demands of running a bakery business are not easy but the benefit of working with us is that if you need any assistance or questions, our great 24/7 customer support team will be there to help you!

We will all be spending this Easter weekend in self-isolation. But that does not mean that we can’t have a fun-filled Easter. Here are 10 fun activities to do in self-isolation this Easter weekend.
Hold an Easter egg hunt
Decorate some eggs
Make Easter nests
Play Easter bingo
Finger paint Easter bunnies
Make an Easter piñata
Take part in some Easter games
Make Easter cards
Make Easter masks
Watch Easter films
Hold an Easter egg hunt
Easter egg hunts are an Easter weekend staple that doesn’t have to stop because you’re in self-isolation. Whilst shopping for your essentials, pick up some Easter eggs of varying sizes. Utilise the space that your home has to offer and hide them in new and inventive places- think inside a plant pot, hidden under a lampshade, etc. If you have a garden, utilise that space as well.
To make the hunt more interesting why not make it themed? Or leave clues scattered around your home that hint to where the eggs may be. You can even video call your friends and family and get them involved.
Egg decorating is just as fun for children as it is for adults. Plus, decorating eggs provides you with colourful new Easter decorations for your home. Either hard boil or poke a small hole into the bottom and top of an egg to drain all of the liquid from inside of it. Grab all the crafty things in your home together- pens, paint, googly eyes, pipe cleaners, cotton balls, anything at all- and let your imagination run wild. You could even make this activity into a game and award a prize for the most inventive egg decoration.
Make Easter nests
Easter nests are easy to make and come with the added bonus of being edible.
You will need:
150g of cereal- shredded wheat is suggested
250g of chocolate
3 tbsp of golden syrup
Small chocolate eggs for decoration.
Cake cases for serving
Begin by melting your chocolate either in a saucepan or in the microwave- make sure to keep a close eye on it to ensure that it doesn’t burn. Once the chocolate is melted stir in 3 tbsp of your golden syrup and your cereal of choice. Stir the mixture well to make sure that ALL the cereal is covered in chocolate. Spoon your mixture into cake cases and complete your birds’ nest with a sprinkling of chocolate eggs. Leave them to cool in the fridge for 30 minutes before digging in to an eggcellent Easter treat.
Play Easter bingo
Bingo may come with connotations of pensioners but Easter bingo is fun for all ages. It’s much the same as normal bingo, but instead of calling out numbers you call out Easter related words. You can even make the game more interesting by including Easter themed images. If you head over to Pinterest, there are an abundance of free Easter bingo print-outs you can use, or you can spend an afternoon making your own before settling down for a night of friendly Easter competition.
Finger paint Easter bunnies
Get messy this Easter and finger paint your own Easter bunnies. All you need is an array of colourful paints, plain paper and your own fingers. This activity is perfect for keeping your children, and your inner child, entertained for an afternoon. Just make sure that all hands are washed before they touch anything other than their canvas.
Make an Easter chick piñata
Who said that Pinata’s had to be saved for birthdays? Why not get creative and make your very own Easter chick piñata?
You will need:
1 balloon
Newspapers
Yellow paint
Crepe paper
Feathers
Orange or brown card
Glue
Easter treats to put inside
Firstly, blow up you balloon and tie off the end. Then, cover your balloon in strips of newspaper dipped in glue, 3 layers should be sufficient. Once the glue has dried, cut off the bottom so that you can insert your sweets. Mark on the eyes and mouth, before painting the balloon yellow until no newspaper is showing. Next, cut your crepe paper into 2 inch squares. You will need to completely cover the balloon, however they don’t all need to be uniform. Cover your piñata with the squares, being careful to avoid the eyes and mouth. Use your card to form a beak for your chick by cutting out two triangles. Draw on your chicks eyes, or, if you have them available, use googly eyes. For the finishing touch, cover your piñata in feathers and insert your sweets, making sure to glue the bottom of the balloon back on to seal them in. Grab your household and enjoy an Easter Fiesta!
Take part in some Easter games
Awaken your competitive spirit this Easter and host your very own Easter Olympic Games. Gather your household and set a series of challenges to be completed, each with an Easter twist. Think, egg and spoon race, bunny hop challenge, and even pin the tail on the bunny rabbit. Award each challenge with a bronze, silver and gold award, until the person with the most gold medals is declared the winner. Take your Easter Olympic games one step further by creating your own medals out of yogurt lids and string. May the best athlete win!
Make Easter cards
Another way to get your households creativity flowing this Easter is by making Easter masks.
You will need:
A paper plate
A pair of scissors
String
Sellotape
Any crafty materials you have around the house
Firstly, cut out two eye holes so that the mask wearer can sufficiently see. Next, think about what Easter character you want to create. Are you going to be a chicken? A bunny? Or maybe a lamb. Once you’ve decided on your character, use your crafty materials to construct your character however you see fit. Once done, and any wet materials are dried, cut a length of string that can reach around the back of your head without being too tight or loose. Use two bits of sellotape to secure each end of your string to your mask and then show off your creation to the rest of your household.
Sometimes the best way to spend Easter is by relaxing with your loved ones, feasting on Easter eggs and watching Easter films. There are plenty of films to be enjoyed by all the family, and plenty of chocolate to eat, so don’t forget to have some downtime this Easter weekend.
From all of the team at Laundryheap, Happy Easter!
