- Heads-up: They look best when ironed slightly damp to achieve a crisp, professional finish.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a popular bistro in York, decided to switch from premium paper napkins to reusable fabric ones to reduce waste and create a more polished dining environment. They chose the Olympia FW697 napkins for their classic look and promise of durability.
"We were spending a fortune on single-use napkins that just ended up in the bin. Switching to these washable reusable table napkins has not only saved us money but our customers have commented on how much nicer they feel. They wash brilliantly and have kept their deep black colour perfectly."
Michael Davies – Owner
After three months, the bistro noted a 15% reduction in their monthly consumables bill and an increase in positive customer feedback regarding table presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give the napkins an initial wash before their first use to soften the fabric and remove any finishing residues.
- Experiment with a few different folds to see which best suits your table setting and style.
- Ensure you have enough stock for at least 2-3 full table turnovers to manage laundry cycles.
Keeping It Going
- Always wash at the recommended 30°C to preserve the colour and fabric integrity.
- Wash with similar dark colours to prevent any potential colour bleeding.
- Avoid using fabric softeners as they can reduce the napkin's absorbency over time.
- For a perfectly crisp finish, iron the napkins while they are still slightly damp.

Explore more from OlympiaWhy a 30°C Wash Cycle Matters for Your Business
Seeing 'Machine Washable at 30°C' might seem like a small detail, but for a busy business, it's a huge advantage. Washing at a lower temperature is much gentler on the fabric's fibres and dyes. Think of it like washing your favourite dark jumper on a cool setting to stop it from fading and shrinking; the same principle applies here. This gentle cycle helps these commercial black cloth napkins keep their rich, deep colour and soft texture for much longer, meaning they'll look newer for longer.
Beyond longevity, it translates directly into cost savings. Lowering the wash temperature significantly reduces your energy consumption with every cycle, and when you're washing napkins daily, those savings on your electricity bill really add up. It's a smarter, more economical, and more sustainable way to manage your linen. It’s a feature that saves you money while protecting your investment.
