How on earth do Indian restaurants gets spicy food stains out of their white table cloths?

154 viewsOther

If I spill spices like turmeric on anything at home, no matter what I do it isn’t coming out. Indian restaurants get whole dishes of the stuff spilled on white tablecloths and they quickly clean them up like new. How do they do it? Could you do the same as the restaurants do but with white clothes?

They change the table cloth.

Restaurants use a linen service and rent their tablecloths and linen napkins. They’re essentially a single use item for the restaurant.

At the end of the week, a company comes and delivers them clean napkins and tablecloths to use, and picks up the dirty ones.

The dirty ones are sorted then cleaned using special chemicals and machines that aren’t readily available to consumers. Most use either high heat or very caustic chemicals to essentially strip the linens clean, which are then laundered, pressed and folded before being sent to a different location.
