Even though we work with quality linen, uniform and napkin service companies we rarely handle the products ourselves. Well sure enough we got a shipment of linens delivered right to our office and had the pleasure of working in blood, sweat and tears (perhaps a small exaggeration) while laundering the linens and folding all 267 (that’s an approximate #) of them by hand.
We already know linen service companies work extremely hard to provide quality services to their customers but having done this task ourselves has given us an even greater appreciation of the work they do on a daily basis. This also proves that any business can benefit from a quality linen service, even ours!
Well that turned out to be a task and a half.
We’ll definitely leave this up to our pro’s next time.
