| | We invite you to enter the world of fine bed and table linens. To maintain the elegance of your fine bed and table linens, you will need to properly care for them. We offer the following guidelines to help ensure the life of your linens.
1. Always care for your linens per the instructions attached to them. Some items can be home laundered but many do require professional dry cleaning.
2. Shrinkage will occur with linens made of natural fibers. The amount of shrinkage depends on the way you care for your linens.
3. We urge you to wash your linens separately from other items. Zippers, buttons, and other rough objects may damage the long staple fibers, causing piling.
4. Do not use brightener’s or bleaching agents, as this will eventually weaken the fibers.
5. We do not recommend fabric softeners or dryer sheets. These products contain wax that will build up on your linens. They may also irritate your skin.
6. We recommend drying linens on low heat. Extremely hot (or cold) temperatures shock the fibers and can decrease its life as well as cause shrinkage. DO NOT over-dry your linens. Try hanging them, or pressing them while still slightly damp. Or set the dryer for a cool-down session at the end.
7. A hot iron will restore sheen to a sateen weave.
8. DO NOT wash your linens with bath towels. The polyester in towels pills and sheds on natural fibers, affecting the smoothness and softness of the fabric.
9. Fading may occur if linens are exposed to direct sunlight.
10. We do recommend that you have your down products professionally cleaned.
11. If you plan to store your linens, iron them beforehand. If your shelves are mad of wood, line them with tissue paper-some woods have oils that can damage linens. Never store your linens in plastic bags.
