Care Instructions

Fine Linens require fine care. Hand embroidered linen items can have long lives and become treasured family heirlooms if taken care of properly.

1. Machine wash on a delicate cycle.

2. Use a mild detergent, avoiding bleach.

3. After the spin cycle many people will fold their linens and place them in the freezer until ready to iron.
When ready to iron, thaw your linens for 5-10 minutes, the cloth will be damp and easy to iron. Use an iron
on a "non-steam" setting. There is already enough moisture in your cloth. Use starch. This will not hurt the
fabric and will give a crisp new look for ironing. Iron from the reverse side of embroidery.

4. If you do not put your linens in the freezer, you may line dry. AVOID A MACHINE DRYER as the intense heat will eventually damage the fabric as well as causing puckering and fraying of the embroidered areas and the border.

5. For stains: DO NOT BLEACH. Especially on organdy or silk organza. It will turn them yellow. For stains, it is best to soak in a mild detergent like "Linen Wash" or Borax for a prolonged period of time. Do not "Shout it Out" Often times a day in the sun will naturally bleach out many stains. For difficult stains, a solution of salt and lemon applied to stain prior to washing will help.
