Queens’ Holiday Laundry Guide: Prepping Fabrics For Festive Times At Soap Club Laundromat

Posted June 25, 2023 

As the holiday season approaches in Queens, New York, the festive spirit begins to spark in every corner, from the twinkling lights adorning the streets to the cozy, well-dressed homes and bustling markets. Amidst this festive bustle, there's an often-overlooked aspect that’s crucial for a truly festive season – preparing your fabrics and garments. At Soap Club Laundromat, we're here to ensure that your holiday fabrics – from elegant party wear to decorative home textiles – are in their best shape to celebrate.

Understanding Holiday Fabrics

Holiday fabrics range from the luxurious, such as velvets and silks used in party attire, to the functional, like heavyweight linens for tablecloths and woolens for cozy home décor. Each of these materials requires specific care to maintain its beauty and longevity.

Caring for Party Wear

The season’s celebrations call for special attire. Whether it’s a silky gown or a velvet suit, proper laundering is key:

  • Check Care Labels: Always start by checking the care labels on your garments. They provide valuable information on whether to machine wash, hand wash, or dry clean.

  • Spot Cleaning: For delicate party wear, spot cleaning can often be safer than a full wash. Gently dabbing the stained area with a suitable cleaning solution can work wonders.

  • Gentle Washing: If machine washing is safe, opt for a gentle cycle and use a mild detergent. For hand-washable items, use lukewarm water and avoid excessive rubbing or wringing.

Maintaining Linens and Tablecloths

Holiday feasts mean tablecloths and linens are prone to stains:

  • Pre-treating Stains:

  • Act quickly on spills—pre-treat stains with a mild stain remover before washing.

  • Machine Wash:

  • Most linens can be machine-washed. Use a gentle cycle and avoid overcrowding the washer to give the fabrics a thorough clean.

  • Ironing:

  • Iron linens while they are slightly damp for a crisp finish.

Taking Care of Woolens and Throws

Woolen blankets and throws add warmth to your home. Keeping them fresh requires careful handling:

  • Shake and Air Out:

  • Often, woolens just need a good shake and some air to refresh.

  • Spot Cleaning:

  • Address spills immediately by spot cleaning with a wool-safe cleaner.

  • Washing:

  • Use a wool-specific detergent and wash on a delicate cycle or hand wash with cold water.
