In 80 years of cleaning table linens—including tablecloths, aprons and napkins—for restaurants, Imperial Valet has witnessed the its industry booming and crashing down. However, in all these years, one thing never changed: the stream of objects that are discovered during the laundry. From green cards, money, wallets, mobile phones, medicines, to weird items like dentures, and expensive diamond earrings!

Considering all these findings, it would be unrealistic to expect that the table linens in your restaurant won’t get stained—with food items. Every time a customer goes, stained table linens are replaced with shiny, clean new-looking table linens. More customers come in, enjoy their meal time, spill food items and beverages, and pay for their order and leave—this continues all day long!

When the closing time is near, and all guests leave. That’s when you look at all the stained table linens and realize the gravity of the situation.

Most Common Stains That Your Diners Leave Behind

Table linens in small or big-city restaurants are most commonly stained by the following items.

• Wax from decorative and scented candles
• Different types curries
• Cold and hot beverages such as coffee, tea, fresh juices, milk shakes etc
• Sauces and salad dressings
• Oil, butter and cream
• Red wine

Every food stain requires a different method to be cleaned off completely. While most of the restaurants hire professional laundry service providers to do the task more efficient, some small-scale restaurants still clean their table linens on their own. However, restaurants that get it done professionally are smarter. They realize that bright, white and shining table linens speak about their cleanliness and hygiene. They don’t refrain from investing in a laundry service for complete stain removal and to attract more customers,.
