FAQ
What is a waiters cloth used for in restaurants?
A waiters cloth is a multi-purpose front-of-house service towel used by waiting staff to carry hot plates safely, fold over wine bottles during table service, wipe minor spills and polish glasses or cutlery to a streak-free finish.
Why is a herringbone weave best for glass and cutlery polishing?
Herringbone-woven cotton cloths feature a series of slanted parallel ribs to the fabric surface which dramatically increases the surface area. This unique construction allows for superior liquid absorption without shedding any lint, making it ideally suited for polishing glassware, wine goblets and silverware.
What is the ideal size for a waiter’s service cloth?
The standard commercial size is typically around 50×75 cm. This allows for sufficient folding without any hand protection when lifting large platters or warm dinner plates.
Are Thornton Mills food service towels built for commercial laundering?
Yes – all Thornton Mills service cloths are designed specifically for high turnover food service operations. Reinforced lock stitched edges and high tensile yarns are specially engineered to withstand repeated high temperature sanitizing wash cycles.
