What survives fifty laundry cycles

Commercial laundry is harder on linen than any guest. Weight, weave and hem finish all behave differently after fifty washes.

Bed made with crumpled white and taupe linen

A guest uses a sheet for a night. A commercial laundry washes it at high temperature, with strong chemistry, hundreds of times. That, not the guest, is what decides how long linen lasts.

Where it fails first

  1. Hems A single fold frays first. A double fold with tight stitching holds.
  2. Weave Percale keeps its hand; a loose sateen pills sooner.
  3. Weight Too light and it thins; too heavy and it costs more to dry.

Run samples through your own laundry before the order is placed. Fifty cycles tells you more than any specification sheet.

Search by product code too. CP250, HG500 or WA1308 will take you straight to the sheet.
