Product Description
Do I need to return this item clean after I've hired it?
Cleaning up kitchen accessories like pots and pans is never a great task at the best of times, but it's doubly worse after a big event or food service. No one wants to break out the marigolds and the scourers if they can help it. Thankfully, you don't have to.
For 25% of the hire price, you can add our "send it back dirty" service in the checkout. With this service selected, all you need to do is to give it a wipe down, make sure there is no food debris attached and liquids have been emptied before we come to collect. We'll then get on with the cleaning, and you can take it easy.
How does delivery of kitchen accessory hire items work?

Tap your postcode in and it will confirm not only whether we cover that postcode or not, but also which of our 11 branches is closest to you and the cost for delivery from that branch, as well as the list of possible extra charges.
Once you have filled your basket and confirmed your delivery dates and postcode in the checkout, we will show you an itemised cost for delivery so you know exactly what you’re paying for before you place your order.
