Some-what. All china, flatware, and glassware must be returned free of all food
and/or liquid. We ask that all plates are scraped to remove as much as possible, or cleaning fees will be charged. If your venue has a sink with a kitchen, we do ask they are rinsed with water.
No. When it comes to linens all we ask is that you shake linens free of all food and decor and we will take care of the rest. We will provide you with mesh laundry bags for return. We do recommend that if the linens get wet, from water or spills, that you hang them to dry and not ball or fold them up, until they
are completely dry.NEVER put linens in a trash bag or plastic. Balling up or folding wet linens in plastic will cause them to mildew.
Damage such as mildew will require you to replace the linen at full cost.
Most stains are common and are not a problem for us to get out. The only stains you need to be aware of are stains such as mildew, candle wax, ink, tape, glue, paint, or damage such as burns or tears. These types of stains can not be removed therefore you would be responsible for replacing the linen at full cost.
Sadly we do not. We encourage our clients to not just look at our competitors for pricing of individual items, look at them as a whole. Be sure to always trust your special day with a company you can trust, rental inventory that is maintained daily and a locally owned company, properly licensed and insured, an office and warehouse you can visit in person, and always values you as a customer.
