- Con: It's a standard housewife style; lacks the decorative border of an Oxford pillowcase.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Grasmere Guesthouse in Cumbria was looking to refresh their guest rooms. They wanted to move away from standard white linens to add a touch of colour and find a more durable option that could cope with their high-volume laundry without needing endless ironing.
"We wanted something that looked a bit more premium than plain white, but could still handle our industrial washer and dryer. These were the perfect fit. The blue is lovely and they come out of the dryer looking almost ready to go."
David Miller – Owner, The Grasmere Guesthouse
The guesthouse reported a 20% reduction in time spent ironing linens, and several positive guest comments on the fresh new look of the rooms.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always complete a first wash before use to soften the fabric and ensure maximum freshness.
- To keep the Spectrum Blue looking vibrant, wash with similar colours only.
- The simple housewife design fits standard UK pillows with no complex folding needed.
Keeping It Going
- Wash at 60°C for optimal hygiene and effective stain removal in a commercial setting.
- Tumble dry on a medium heat setting to protect the fibres and ensure a quick turnaround.
- A light iron is all that's needed for a crisp, professional finish, saving valuable time.
- Avoid hot calendaring (large heated rollers) as intense, direct heat can damage the poly-cotton blend.

Explore more from Mitre EssentialsWhy a Poly-Cotton Blend is a Game-Changer for Hospitality
Ever wondered what 'poly-cotton' actually means for your business? It's simple: it's the best of both worlds. Pure cotton is beautifully soft but it wrinkles at the mere thought of being folded and wears out with constant, high-temperature washing. Pure polyester is incredibly tough and dries in a flash, but it doesn't always have that premium, breathable feel your guests love.
Think of a poly-cotton blend like the fabric for a top-tier sports kit. You get the natural comfort and breathability of cotton, combined with the strength, colour-fastness, and quick-drying properties of polyester. For your B&B or hotel, this translates to bedding that feels lovely for guests but doesn't give your housekeeping team a headache. It resists creasing straight out of the dryer, holds its colour for longer, and withstands the rigours of commercial laundering far better than 100% cotton, saving you significant time and money in the long run.
Who Should Buy This?
- Hotels & B&Bs: Perfect for creating a clean, uniform, and inviting look in guest rooms that stands up to daily changes.
- Guesthouses & Holiday Lets: Offers a durable, easy-care solution that feels homely yet professional for your visitors.
- Care Homes & Healthcare: Ideal for environments where hygiene is paramount, thanks to its 60°C wash capability.
- Student Accommodation & Halls: A cost-effective and robust option that can handle the demands of student life with ease.
