Why Alex's
Why Bay Area Hosts Trust Alex's
Heirloom linens deserve the same care as a couture wardrobe.
Stain Expertise
Red wine, candle wax, and food stains are treated by hand before cleaning. Linens come back to the table looking their best.
Crease-Free Pressing
Tablecloths, napkins, and runners are professionally pressed and finished, with optional starch. They are then folded or returned on rolls to stay smooth.
Heirloom-Safe Methods
Fine damask and embroidered linens from houses like Sferra and D. Porthault get special care. We choose methods that protect fibers and detail.
The Alex's Standard
Fine Table Linen Care for Estate Households & Entertainers
From a single dinner's napkins to a full estate's banquet linens.
Treated, Cleaned & Pressed by Hand
Every tablecloth, napkin, runner, and placemat is inspected on arrival. We treat the stains that come with entertaining, from red wine and candle wax to oil and food. Alex's Team then cleans each piece using the method best suited to its fabric. We finish it crease-free, with optional starch, so it is ready for your next table. See our pricing or schedule a pickup.
