Over 120 years creating beautiful spaces.

Special Occasion Linen, and parent company CLEAN, have an outstanding pedigree. Multi-award winning CLEAN was founded in 1886 and, since then, has become one of the UK’s foremost linens experts, providing superior rental and laundering services for a range of discerning clients.

From independent boutique hotels and hi-tech auto repair centres, to restaurants, hotels and stadiums, CLEAN is long established as a trusted, innovative, people-focused business and is proud to be a Royal Warrant holder since 2006.

Special Occasion Linen was launched by CLEAN over 15 years ago to provide dedicated specialist linen hire to venues and event organisers, and have gone on to build an enviable portfolio of client partners across the UK.
