DC Tablecloth Pricing

Pickup and delivery are included on every Washington, DC order, and sales tax is added at checkout. Choose a weekday morning or afternoon pickup, add tablecloths, dry-clean-only pieces or a bulk order, and include security desk or loading dock details.

  • Tablecloth: $16.99 each
  • Dry-clean-only tablecloth: $29.99 each
  • Bulk tablecloths: $4.50 per pound with a 15-pound minimum ($67.50)

For large orders, bulk tablecloths are priced by the pound with a 15-pound minimum. Bulk orders suit rental companies, venues and caterers that send many linens at once. Everything is counted at pickup and again at return.

Receptions, Galas and Matching Sets

Formal DC events often use matching sets of tablecloths that need to come back complete and in the same condition. Linens are counted at pickup and return, colors are washed separately, and dry-clean-only overlays and specialty fabrics are dry cleaned instead of washed.

Wine, Wax and Reception Stains

Receptions and fundraisers leave DC tablecloths with wine, canapé grease, lipstick and candle wax. Every cloth is checked and pre-treated before washing, with whites and ivories washed apart from colored linens. Wax is the hardest to remove, so scrape off what you can and mention it when you book. If a stain won't lift, we set the cloth aside so a matching set doesn't go back out with one bad piece.

Why DC Event Planners Use a Tablecloth Service

Association conferences and receptions in DC often book the same venue for back-to-back events, so linens have to be cleaned and returned before the next one. Restaurants in Penn Quarter and Navy Yard need fresh tablecloths every service and rarely have room to wash them. Hush picks up through the security desk or loading area, washes and folds every cloth, and returns them the next day.

How to Get Tablecloths Ready

  • Shake out crumbs and confetti before bagging.
  • Scrape off as much candle wax as you can without pulling the fabric.
  • Keep dry-clean-only and specialty fabrics in a separate bag.
  • Note how many pieces you are sending so counts can be checked.
