Unfortunately working with gree/ blue screen removal is often not as simple as it appears.
First I would suggest you buy removal software either as a ps plug in or stand alone.
You need 6 foot separation from the subject and the screen
Avoid reflective surfaces white cloths shiny shoes and so on.
Avoid full length if you can and use dark clothes blond hair is the worst
Be prepared to spend time on edge repairs you will need to zoom it very tight and clone edges to remove some green tints and other odd lines that appear.
I never use LR for this but I have tried the auto background remover in elements and it worked very well.
There are loads of videos on this I suggest you watch a few they all have the same basic tips but the odd one has something extra worth noting
Don't see why you can't wash and press the screen, low heat and separate wash, ask the supplier,
You do not want any creases or shadows, use a meter check you lighting is even side to side and top to bottom.
I use 2 soft box or umbrellas and one back light on a single subject to help separate them and remove green edges and reflections.
Good luck it's not as easy as it is made out to be especially when you blend to a fake background.
