The fine art of caring for your fine linens.
In times past, fine linens for the bed and table were typically accumulated in a traditional trousseau. Wealthy families employed a laundress whose primary responsibility was the maintenance of the linen closet. The many others who used fine linens either relied on a laundress for the laundering of their linens and personal items or followed those special techniques themselves.
The Laundry at Linens Limited began over fifty years ago when an enterprising woman named Alma Miller noticed that the wealthy, industrial families in Milwaukee were paring down their household staffs. Often the first to be let go was the laundress. As time went on, fewer and fewer women possessed these special laundering skills.
Honoring the distinctive nature of fine bed and table linens by caring for them in the same tradition they were created, The Laundry is recognized today as the foremost fine linen laundry service in the country. Its Old-World techniques of care combined with New-World standards of service and convenience are hallmarks of their business.
Recently, to continue this spirit of the best care possible in laundering personal apparel and household linens, the company launched its first laundry product offering their exclusive, time-tested laundry detergent formula for home use – The Laundry’s Finest Laundry Powder. This detergent powder embodies the company’s unwavering commitment to delivering full satisfaction with a pH-balanced and bio-degradable laundry powder. Made with organic surfactants which give clothes a cleaner wash, it contains no harmful additives, optical brighteners, or bleach and is non-phosphorus.
