August 17th, 2010 @4:35 pHello po.,, I’m starting a laundry business - what I’ve got is just a pair of Whirpool washer & dryer plus a household washing machine. I Dont have my pwesto yet & I do the laundry on our garage. It’s just me & my wife doing the laundry. Initially we got two spa’s and a catering service as clients. Today I was invited for a meeting with Maxs restaurant and we were asked to do a test load for them. Their linen are mostly polyester items and light soiled. I cant tell if their laundry contractor is doing WDF or WDP on their linen. What I want to askis, is there any special care needed in deeling with polyester table cloth - mild soil only ? Do I really need to iron polyester tabe cloth? thank you po & hope you can advise me.
Hi!
Nice that you’ve started the business without too much expense on shop. Anyway, we used to do Max’s restaurant…at first you’d think its mild soiled linen only but then later realize their laundry items are even more difficult to handle because of cooking oil and too much food stains. But not to discourage you, Max’s restaurant is a good client, they pay on time and they don’t complain much. As to your query, we used to iron their toppers and table cloth using a steam press and eventually roller, though you can choose not to because as you said its material is polyester. You can have comparison though - ironed polyester is still very nice than not ironed.
Good luck!
Tnx po for your reply… what would you suggest on treating oil stain., i tried soaking them overnight on ariel. I tried to spot inspect the table cloth before running them on the washer. I cant seem to see the oil stain while its wet and it only appears when dried. tnx po - do you have any seminar comming up soon somewhere in manila or nearby? tnx again poh
