Hire glass cloths and oven cloths for caterers, bars and event kitchens. Working linen for polishing, service and kitchen safety.
Service teams notice missing working linen long before guests notice the flowers. Expo Hire hires professional glass cloths and standard oven cloths for caterers, bars, temporary kitchens and event crews who need the right cloths for polishing, handling and safe service.

Glass cloths and oven cloths are not show pieces, but the kitchen and bar teams cannot work without them. Caterers use glass cloths to polish stemware, wipe water marks from wine glasses and finish champagne flutes before service. A useful planning rule is one glass cloth per 100 glasses for normal service, then a few extras if the venue runs a large bar or coffee point. A 300-guest dinner with wine, water and fizz can push the glass count well past 900, so the polishing cloth order needs proper thought.
Oven cloths handle a different job. Chefs and service teams use them when they move trays, hot pans and gastronorms through a temporary kitchen or prep tent. Those cloths matter on event sites where the cooking line sits in a marquee, loading bay or back-of-house room that the venue does not equip in full. If your team hires ovens, hot cupboards or heated service kit, add oven cloths at the same time so the working line has basic hand protection from first load-in.
These products also keep your order complete. Many planners focus on guest-facing items such as tablecloths and napkins, then realise on setup day that the bar team still needs lint-free cloths and the kitchen still needs oven cloths. One booking for front-of-house linen and back-of-house working cloths saves a late scramble and keeps the catering brief in one place.
Wedding caterers use glass cloths at the polish station before guest arrival, then keep spare cloths near the bar for stemware turnover. Corporate hospitality teams use them across coffee stations, drinks receptions and sponsor bars where clear glass has to stay free from lint and marks. Oven cloths stay close to combi ovens, hot cupboards, warming cupboards and service passes where chefs move hot stock at pace.
If your event includes mobile bars, plated service or a temporary kitchen, these cloths should sit on the same list as your crockery and glassware. They are small lines in the order value, but they protect service speed and kitchen safety from the first prep hour to the last clear-down.
