National Event Supply recently made the decision to invest in a new line of linens. With the expansion of our table lines in both wood folding tables and plastic folding tables, it became the logical next step for us – and Customers were already asking. Because of this, in order to meet the customer need, we will be stocking two new lines of linens in the New Year. Check out below for more information regarding our new Linen inventory and feel free to ask additional questions in the comments!

How do you properly wash the linens?

Our Polyester linens can be washed as follows:

Our polyester linen material needs to be washed in cold water with normal laundry detergents. Stain remover is OK if necessary, bleach is also OK for whites. Dry on a low heat setting. Only dry 1-2 tablecloths at a time due to the weight of the product. Pull from the heat right away. If you use them immediately, there may be a few wrinkles that you might want to iron or steam out. If you fold them for later use, you’ll want to iron or steam out the creases from folding before use.

Our Spandex linens can be washed as follows:

Machine washable with warm water. Tumble dry with low heat setting and remove from dryer as soon as cycle is done. Ironing not required. Do not use chlorine bleach on any fabric containing spandex. Exposure to chlorine can lead to discoloration, stretch and eventual breakage of the spandex fibers.

When will they be in stock?

All linens will be in stock by the end of January – plenty of time before the busy season starts. We will be bringing these new products with us to the number of trade shows we’re attending including the CRA BC Regional Show Jan 10 – 11, 2014, and The ARA Rental Show February 9 – 12, 2014.
