Ordering Your Table Linens

linen inventory requirements are computed by considering one day’s use in service, one day’s use on the shelf, and one day’s use in the laundry as a minimum.

napkins should always be inventoried at 4 to 5 times the tablecloth requirements to compensate for 2 place and 6 and 8 place settings. your needs may vary according to actual experience. remember to allow at least 24 hours of shelf time for all items to improve the flat-dry appearance and to “rest” the fabric.


how to measure special siZes square or rectangular tables
1. measure the table - for this example we will use a 36” x 96”.
2. figure the amount of drop (or drape) you would like from the edge of the table. generally, the longer the drape, the more formal the service. the standard drop is 9”. a more formal drop is between 12” and 15”.
3. double this drop number (example, 10” x 2 = 20”) and add this to the table width measurement (example, 36” + 20” = 56”).
4.find the closest standard width fabric available. cotton and blends are available in standard widths of 45”, 54”, 64”, 72”, and 90”. polyester standard widths are 42”, 52”, 62”, 71”, and 90”. subtract the table width from the fabric width and divide by 2 to find the drop that width will give you.

example    54” -36”
18”/2 = 9” drop
64” -36”
28”/2 = 14” drop

5. determine which of these drops is appropriate for you and add double this drop to the length of the table.
9” drop    example    14” drop x2 x2
18” + 96” (table length) = 114” long    28” + 96” (table length) = 124” long

Round Tables Using Square Cloths

1. Measure the diamefer of a round table - for this example we will use 36”.

2. Subtract the table diameter from an appropriate square tablecloth diagonal.
(see chart for standard squares’ diagonals.)
example
90.5” (diagonal of a 64” x 64”) -36”    (diameter of table)
54.5” + total point (the corner of the cloth) drop off table

3. Divide this point drop by 2 to determine the drop of all four corners off the table.

example
54.5” /2 = 27.25” drop
Note: This point drop should not exceed 28” since a standard table height is 30”. the drop on the sides of the table is determined the same as “a” above. for example: 64” - 36” = 28” /2 = 14” drop.
formula diagonal of cloth - diameter of table /2 = length of drop points

Washing and drying instructions

Washing:
load washer according to equipment manufacturer’s specifications. after warm flush, wash on polyester/cotton cycle at 160° F (61° c). rinse at progressively lower temperatures. if stains remain after one wash, add one cup of liquid chlorine bleach to 20 gallons of water during laundering. add bleach to water before puting placemats in. This concentraton of bleach will not harm the colors. after extraction, move to dryer at once.

Laundering

Riegel Table Linen drying recommendations for on premise laundries without ironers:

Before drying:

  1. Make sure that temperature controls are working properly for heat and cool down.
  2. Make sure that lint is cleaned from the screens daily! This is a major fire hazard if it is not watched closely.
  3. Periodically inspect the inside of the dryer for rough, sharp edges. These are typically caused by silverware (or any hard object) making it through the washing process and ending up in the dryer. Damage occurs to the dryer basket as the objects make contact with the metal during the spinning of the dryer. The best way to inspect for these sharp edges is to place nylon material (i.e. stockings) on your hand and rub around the dryer basket. If you find a sharp edge that snags the fabric, use sandpaper to sand it down. (this should be done for your washers also.)

Drying:

  1. Load dryers up to 50% of the rated capacity.
  2. Set dryer to run at 30° F higher than the water temperature during washing. as dryers differ by manufacturing type, times will vary. approximate time should be between 10-20 minutes.
  3. Allow dryer to run on cool down before removing the table linen. times will again vary by dryer type and size, but typically cool down is between 10-12 minutes.
  4. After cool down, remove the linen and fold immediately. this will prevent wrinkling.

After drying and folding:

Polyester Laundry Procedures

 

1) alkalinity of break operation should be between 650*1500 PPm na2o.

2) refrain from using fwas in final operation. unremovable yellow stains may result.

3) amount of starch depends upon the degree oF body desired (8-12 oZ)

4) sour    load    to    Ph = 5.5 - 6.5. 5) if starching, do not extract below 25% water retention.

The above formula recommendations are designed as starting guidelines. The products and actual formulas may vary depending upon the machine size and type, soil levels, water conditions, product availability, etc. contact mount vernon mills at ricka@mvmills.com for specific data.

riegel table linen recommended laundry procedures Cotton/Polyester blended napery

load the washer according to manufacturer’s specifications. underloading or overloading can result in poor stain removal or in setting wrinkles.
Use the cycle recommended for your cotton/polyester napery. The first step should be a warm flush to avoid setting greasy stains. This should be followed by a hot wash (150-160°). Rinses should be progressively lower temperatures.

Laundry Procedures

 

 

load the dryer to only one-third (1/3) to one-half (1/2) of the rated capacity. this will allow the tumbling necessary to eliminate wrinkles coming from the washer. drying temperatures should be at least 30° hotter than washing temperatures. cool down cycle should be maintained at 100° F.
remove and fold tablecloths immediately after completion oF cooling cycle. To prevent alkaline hydrolysis of the polyester, do not exceed p.h. value oF 11.0. do not use softeners and bacteriostats that contain ammonium compounds.
