Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle Bistro in Inverness was looking to refresh its tableware, needing something more durable and elegant than their previous napkins to match their new interior.
"We needed napkins that looked the part but could also handle a constant cycle of washing and use. These Olympia napkins were perfect. They look fantastic, feel great, and the grey complements our slate placemats beautifully."
Robert Grant – Owner
The switch immediately improved feedback on table presentation and has cut down their laundering time thanks to the easy-care fabric.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- For best results, give the napkins a quick wash before their first use to soften the fabric.
- Press or iron while still slightly damp for a crisp, professional finish on your tables.
- Store them flat or neatly folded in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent creasing.
Keeping It Going
- Always wash at the recommended 30°C to preserve colour and fabric integrity.
- Wash with similar colours to avoid any dye transfer from other laundry items.
- Treat any tough stains promptly before they set, using a stain remover suitable for linen.
- Avoid using chlorine bleach, as it can weaken the linen fibres and cause discolouration.

You might think a hotter wash is needed for hospitality, but these napkins are designed for an efficient 30°C cycle. Think of it like this: it’s effective enough to remove food stains and freshen them up perfectly, but gentle enough to protect the fabric's fibres and colour over the long term. This lower temperature not only helps your commercial linen napkins grey stay looking sharp for longer but also reduces your energy bills with every single wash – a small change that adds up to big savings for your business.
