What are linens?
Linens are any common fabrics used around the house on a daily basis. They may include sheets, tablecloths as well as cloth napkins. If you did any hosting over the holidays, chances are you used a lot of linens that now need to be washed and stored.
Prestige Cleaners can make quick work of all those household linens and will return them fresh, clean, and pressed and ready for the next guests.
How to Wash Linens
Linens are usually pretty straightforward to wash and care for. They should be washed regularly with cold water and a normal detergent. In most cases, they can be thrown in the washing machine.
Stains on linens may require some extra special care. You always want to be careful to remove stains fully before drying as heat may help set a stain further into the fabric.
If you notice stains, it’s a good idea to pretreat the stain as much as possible and even soak the fabric with a stain treatment for several hours. If this doesn’t help, you may need to seek our professional help. Always mention any products you use, as this may impact how we are able treat the stains.
Why Take Linens to a Dry Cleaner?
There are a few reasons you may want to take linens to a dry cleaner rather than washing them at home. The first reason is the one we just mentioned–tricky stains may take professional skills and our cleaners at Prestige have all the best tools and resources to help.
The second reason you may want to take your linens to a dry cleaner is sometimes the sheer amount of linens you have to clean can be overwhelming. If you recently hosted several house guests they probably left sheets, towels and all your nice table linens in their wake. It may take several loads of laundry to get caught up.
Your local dry cleaner can make quick work of all those household linens and will return them fresh and clean and ready for the next guests.
The final reason you may want to send linens to a dry cleaner is if you plan to store them away. If your household only uses a nice tablecloth or cloth napkins once a year it’s always a good idea to have those items cleaned well to preserve them. Sometimes stains don’t appear right away but if left to sit they can wreak havoc on your nice fabrics. It’s a great idea to have these items professionally cared for so you can store them away and rest easy.
