Individual Laundry for Touring Teams and Major Events

When the British & Irish Lions toured Melbourne, we handled 70–100+ individually tracked bags per day — personal items, training gear, and match day kit. Every bag labelled, separated, and returned to the right person.

The British & Irish Lions Tour

During the Melbourne leg of the 2025 British & Irish Lions tour, we ran an overnight laundry service for the full touring party — players, coaching staff, and support team. Every person had their own individually labelled bag. Each evening we collected personal laundry, training gear, and whatever else had come through that day, and returned everything cleaned, folded, and sorted to the right person by the following morning.

On game days, the volume spiked. Match-worn jerseys, shorts, and socks came in alongside the usual personal laundry, all on the same overnight turnaround. At peak we were processing over 100 individually tracked bags per day out of our Brunswick East facility. The mascot’s kit had its own bag.

We were servicing the First Nations & Pacifika touring squad at the same time — same model, individual bags, overnight turnaround — plus personal laundry for Rugby Australia’s operational staff. All three running concurrently through the same facility, alongside our regular residential and commercial operations.

Carlton FC Events

We handle linen for Carlton FC’s premium member events — tablecloths and blankets across MCG, Marvel Stadium, and Centrepiece.

The logistics are different from a touring team. There’s no daily rhythm — events happen on their own schedule, at different venues, and we need to have clean stock ready for each one. Between games, we hold Carlton’s linen at our facility. Before each event, we coordinate with stadium staff on delivery timing, access, and setup. Each venue works differently.

It’s a multi-year relationship. They renewed again this year.

Frequently asked questions

How does individual bag separation work?
Every person in your group gets their own labelled bag. We collect, wash, dry, and fold each bag separately and return it to the right person. Nothing gets mixed between bags — your gear comes back exactly as it went in, just clean.
What’s the turnaround time?
It depends on what your group needs. For the Lions tour we ran an overnight cycle, but most group work is processed during the day. Get in touch with your requirements and we’ll confirm what turnaround works.
What areas do you service?
We’re based in Brunswick East and service groups across inner Melbourne. For touring teams staying in the city, we handle collection and delivery to your accommodation. If you’re further out, get in touch — we can usually negotiate something.
Can you handle uniforms and sportswear?
Yes. We handle everything from personal clothing to training gear, match day kit, and corporate uniforms. Every item is washed according to its care label — including temperature-sensitive and compliance-grade garments.
