How Often Do Tablecloths Need to be Cleaned?
Once a luxury no fine residence would be without, choice table linens are again rising in popularity. Laying the dining table with festive tablecloths, napkins, your finest dinnerware, floral centerpieces, and perhaps, candelabra, are part of many families’ holiday traditions. Tablecloths are also used for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, graduations, and other important events. Whether your table linens were purchased from a national chain store, are a seldom-used wedding present, or are part of a picnic set, if your table linens have been in storage for any length of time, it is important to have them professionally dry cleaned by a table linen cleaning service before and after they are used again. Linen is the most popular fabric used in the manufacture of tablecloths, and it is not a fiber that washes well. In this posting, Cameo by Copeland Cleaners, a renowned dry cleaning establishment in the New York TriState, offers these tips to ensure excellent care of your tablecloths to ensure years of service.
Contact Cameo by Copeland Cleaners for Dependable Table Linen Cleaning Service
How often you should have your tablecloth cleaned depends on several factors, the most obvious being how often you use it, the type of event it was used for, and even environmental considerations.
Everyday Use: Many urban Millennials, especially newlyweds, have embraced using their wedding gift table linens every day. Unless you experience a spill such as wine or a sugary beverage, Cameo by Copeland Cleaners recommends cleaning your tablecloth every 4-6 weeks. Napkins, however, should be cleaned after every use.
Special Occasions and Seasonal Use: If you only bring your table linens out of storage for the holidays, or if you are entertaining guests at a dinner party, it should be dry cleaned as soon as possible after each use. The holidays are festive times, and spills and stains are far more likely to occur. Therefore, immediately contacting Cameo by Copeland Cleaners to arrange for a pickup and delivery as part of our table linen cleaning service is advisable.
Environmental Factors: If you dine outdoors and use a linen tablecloth, it is especially important to have your tablecloth cleaned after every use due to its exposure to heat and humidity which can damage the fabric, as well as to remove allergens, pollen, dust, and soil as well as food stains that easily work their way into the fibers.
