Table linen: materials, care tips and size selection

It is not only the furniture, crockery and cutlery that determine the ambience of a restaurant or hotel - the right table linen also makes a decisive contribution here. Depending on the color, material and design, table linen can support different styles. Table linen is suitable for every concept and is not only good for the look, but also protects the tables from soiling and can help to reduce noise pollution in the dining room.

These materials are suitable for table linen

We at LUSINI use very high-quality materials for our table linen that meet the requirements of the catering and hotel industry.

Cotton

unverarbeitete Baumwolle

Cotton is characterized by its high durability: Textiles made from cotton fibers are highly resistant to tearing and abrasion. This makes cotton table linen ideal for use in the catering and hotel industry. Thanks to the durability of the material, cotton table linen remains beautiful even after many washes if the care properties are observed. Cotton can be washed at high temperatures, but colored cotton can lose its color intensity over time if washed too hot.

Polyester

Polyester fabric can be inexpensive, but it doesn't have to be. Depending on the quality, polyester can be very high quality and have certain properties that natural fibers do not have without additional treatment. Polyester table linen often has a particularly high light fastness and is very hard-wearing and easy to care for. For example, it hardly creases and is therefore easy to iron. Polyester table linen also dries very quickly and stains are easy to remove. Due to its many positive properties, polyester and natural fiber blends are often used to combine the advantages of both fibers. When caring for the table linen, care should be taken not to wash it too hot, as this can damage the fibers and impair its functionality. Likewise, table linen with polyester content should not be washed with fabric softener.

Linen

Contrary to popular belief, linen is not particularly high-maintenance. Linen fibers are long-stapled and therefore have a very smooth surface. This makes the material hard-wearing and makes it harder for dirt to penetrate the fibers - linen is therefore an ideal material for table linen.

Linen can also withstand high washing and mangling temperatures and can even be cleaned with chlorine.

Our tip

Always follow the care instructions on the label. This way you will enjoy your textiles for a long time and achieve a better washing result.

How we ensure the highest quality

Our table linen meets high quality standards. Before a product goes on sale, it is subjected to an endurance wash test, among other things. This enables us to ensure that our products can cope with the demands of everyday catering and meet the requirements of our customers. In addition, there are some table linen products that also meet other standards. The Mals table linen, for example, meets the flame-retardant B1 standard with the associated DIN 4102.

What you need to consider when caring for placemats

Placemats are becoming increasingly popular and are often used as an alternative to tablecloths or table runners in modern concepts. Placemats made of artificial leather should be cleaned as quickly as possible if they become soiled with grease stains - once the stain has set in, it can no longer be removed. Genuine leather placemats should occasionally be treated with a little olive oil or leather care to freshen up the material.

PVC or polyester placemats are also popular, especially for outdoor use. These are particularly easy to clean and can simply be wiped clean with a damp cloth and a little washing-up liquid.

Our tip

Although it is possible to clean PVC placemats in the dishwasher, it is better not to do so. Due to the lack of a smooth contact surface, the sets can become deformed in the dishwasher and no longer lie smoothly on the table.

Cleaning outdoor table linen

Outdoor table linen must meet particularly high standards: High light fastness is important here to prevent rapid fading. In addition, we often provide our outdoor table linen with a stain protection finish. This means that the table linen needs to be changed less frequently in outdoor areas. We also offer table linen with an acrylic coating. This can be wiped off with a damp cloth and does not need to be washed as often. When caring for outdoor table linen, it is important to ensure low washing temperatures so as not to lose functionality. Coated textiles should also only be ironed inside out or with the help of an ironing cloth so that the coating is not damaged and the iron does not stick.

How to find the right table linen for your table

Choosing the right table linen is sometimes not easy: in addition to the size of the table, the shape must also be taken into account. The overhang must also be taken into account - this is 25 cm as standard.
