How does tablecloth rental work?
The tablecloth is the first textile guests see when they walk into your restaurant. Clean, ironed tablecloths in a matching shade set the visual standard of your dining room. In the tablecloth rental model, you do not buy these tablecloths; you use them from our pool of thousands of spares.
- We determine your needs We discuss your number of tables, your table sizes and the drop you prefer.
- Your tablecloths come from our pool Products are supplied from our pool of thousands of spares.
- Soiled tablecloths are washed in our laundry They are sorted in the soiled linen sorting unit, and your products are washed separately.
- They return clean and inspected Tablecloths that pass quality control arrive ready to use, and missing items are topped up.
Burnt, worn or missing tablecloths are replaced with the same quality from our pool. Product financing also turns into a payment plan spread over years. For details of the model, see our textile rental page.
The right tablecloth size for your table
You choose the tablecloth size according to your table size and the drop you want. The drop is the part of the tablecloth that hangs down over the edge of the table: subtract the table size from the tablecloth size and divide by two. On an 80 × 80 cm table, a 140 × 140 cm tablecloth has a 30 cm drop and a 160 × 160 cm tablecloth a 40 cm drop.
| Table | Tablecloth | Drop |
|---|---|---|
| 80 × 80 cm | 140 × 140 cm | 30 cm |
| 80 × 80 cm | 160 × 160 cm | 40 cm |
| 140 × 80 cm | 200 × 140 cm | 30 cm |
| 140 × 80 cm | 220 × 160 cm | 40 cm |

Tablecloth washing: stains are our problem
Tablecloths are the textiles most exposed to food and drink stains. With rental, the stubborn stains so common with laundries are now our problem, not yours: a tablecloth with a stain that won't come out never returns to your table, and a clean one from the pool takes its place.
We wash tablecloths in our 1,500 m² indoor in-house laundry:
- The industry's best washing and ironing systems
- Chemicals that care for human health and extend textile life
- Properly treated washing water
- A soiled linen sorting unit that keeps your products apart from other businesses' products
If you only want your own tablecloths washed instead of renting, you can also use our tablecloth washing service on its own.
The layer under the tablecloth: silence cloth
A silence cloth (muflon) is the soft, thick undercloth laid beneath the tablecloth. It protects the table surface, stops the tablecloth slipping as much and softens the sound of plates and glasses being set down. It also helps the tablecloth sit fuller and smoother on the table.
Silence cloths get dirty over time too and need washing. With our silence cloth washing service, we also wash this layer beneath the tablecloth in our laundry. For silence cloths, we offer washing only, not rental.
We also offer washing for the cushions and curtains in your dining room. Details: cushion and curtain washing.
A table completed with top cloths, runners and napkins
A restaurant table is dressed layer by layer: a silence cloth at the bottom, the tablecloth on top of it, a top cloth over the tablecloth, a runner down the middle and napkins beside the plates. Renting them all and having them washed in one place keeps the shade and quality of the products consistent with each other.
- Top cloth rental: the second layer laid over the tablecloth to protect it.
- Runner rental: the strip of cloth running along the centre of the table.
- Napkin rental: clean, ready napkins for every service.
