- Colour Retention: The rich claret shade holds up remarkably well to high-temperature washing.
- No Fastenings: The open construction is fast but less secure than buttons or poppers.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Bridge House Hotel in Inverness was looking to refresh its guest rooms. Their existing white linens were starting to look tired, and they wanted to inject some colour without sacrificing the durability needed for their in-house laundry.
"The Mitre Spectrum covers have been brilliant. The claret colour is beautiful and has really lifted the rooms. Our housekeeping team loves the colour-coded labels, which has made sorting linens after a big wash so much quicker. They just feel and look professional."
Robert Grant – General Manager
The hotel reported a 20% reduction in time spent sorting laundry, allowing staff to focus on other housekeeping duties.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always give the duvet cover a wash before its first use to soften the fabric.
- Ensure your double duvet is inserted fully to the corners for a crisp, neat look.
- The open end is secured by internal bar tacks—simply fold the end under the mattress.
- Pairs beautifully with Mitre's Simplicity cushions for a coordinated finish.
Keeping It Going
- Wash at 60°C to ensure thermal disinfection, ideal for a hospitality setting.
- Avoid using harsh chlorine bleaches which can weaken fibres and fade the colour over time.
- Tumble dry on a medium heat setting and remove promptly to minimise creasing.
- For best results and longevity, rotate your stock of duvet covers evenly.
