FAQ’s Linen
“Do I have to wash the table cloths after we use them?”
Of
course not! The rental price includes laundering and pressing. Just shake
them out and put them in the laundry bags we
provided. We’ll take it from there.
“How will they be packaged when I receive them?”
All linens will be pressed, folded and wrapped in
protective plastic. Table skirting will arrive in protective plastic
(which you return them to after use)
“Am I responsible for food stains?”
Generally , No. Nearly all common food stains (coffee, wine, punch,
gravy, meat sauce stain, alcohol and chocolate, etc) can be removed during
the linen processing. If an “accident happens” with a cup of coffee or
red wine, or if the spaghetti sauce gets a little out of hand. Don’t worry
about it. We’ve just about seen it all.
“What am I responsible for?”
You
are held responsible for linens returned with excessive amounts of food
attached to them, candle wax, handwriting from ink pens or markers, etc.,
burns, mildew, and excessive "ground in" dirt. (Usually a result of using
the table linen as a "mop" to clean up after the party .)
We
wish all our rentals return with no damages, and the majority usually
are...however if an item is not returned or is returned with damage and is
not reusable the replacement cost will be deducted from the damage
deposit.
Responsibility for equipment remains with the customer from
time of delivery/pickup to time of return. Please be sure equipment is
secure when not in use and protected .
