Easy maintenance and reusable are the unique selling points of table linens. We understand that as wedding, hotel and hospitality business owners, you'd love to make the most out of your investment. To benefit from the full value of our tablecloths, overlays, table runners, chair covers, napkins and the rest of our table linens, we recommend the following linen care instructions.
GENERAL WASHING INSTRUCTIONS
Common sense demands that as soon as stains get in contact with the fabric, table linens should be washed immediately. Our tablecloths are wrinkle and stain resistant, not wrinkle-free or stain-proof. Similar to clothing care, wash like fibers and colors together. When using bleach for white linens, please follow the directions on the container. Excessive use of bleach can cause permanent yellow stains on the fabric. Bleach is not recommended for colored table linens. To minimize material shrinkage, do not use the dryer's high temperature settings. Do not overload washer and dryer. Also, make sure that your washing and drying equipment are in working order with no rough areas that might cause fabric snagging.
IMPORTANT. Over 180F drying temperatures can create permanent wrinkles.
