Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Starfish Inn, a popular 15-room guesthouse in Penzance, needed to refresh its bedding to create a more modern and comfortable guest experience, replacing old, bobbled blankets that were becoming difficult to maintain.
"Our guests have commented on how lovely and soft the new blankets are. They look so much smarter and have completely lifted the feel of the rooms. From our side, the laundry process is so much simpler; they wash and dry perfectly every time without going bobbly."
Robert Davies – Proprietor, The Starfish Inn
The move resulted in a noticeable increase in positive online reviews mentioning room comfort and a 20% reduction in time spent on the bedding laundry cycle.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give the blanket a preliminary wash on a gentle cycle before its first use to ensure maximum softness and freshness.
- Fold neatly at the end of the bed or drape over a chair to present an inviting welcome for guests.
- When not in use, store flat in a dry, well-ventilated linen cupboard to keep it fresh.
Keeping It Going
- Machine wash on a cool or warm cycle (max 40°C) with similar colours.
- Use a mild liquid detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibres and reduce the fleece's natural softness over time.
- Tumble dry on a low heat setting or line dry. The fleece dries quickly, saving energy.
- Do not iron or dry clean, as high heat can damage the fleece fibres.

Explore more from Mitre EssentialsWhy an 'Anti-Pilling' Finish Keeps Your Rooms Looking Smart
Ever noticed those tiny, fuzzy bobbles that appear on fleece jumpers or blankets after a few washes? That's called 'pilling', and it's caused by friction breaking and tangling the fabric's fibres. An 'anti-pilling' finish is a special treatment applied during manufacturing that makes the fibres stronger and less likely to tangle.
Think of it like putting a protective, non-stick coating on a frying pan. It prevents things from clumping together. For this grey polar fleece single bed blanket, it means that even with regular commercial washing and guest use, the surface stays smooth, soft, and looking nearly new. It's a small detail that makes a huge difference in maintaining a professional, high-quality appearance in your rooms day after day.
