Care Instructions
With a little bit of proper care your linens will maintain their beautiful appearance providing you with years of use.
Washing
Prewashing of your new linens is recommended. Seperate dark and light colors. Machine wash, gentle cycle, with cold or warm water. Use a gentle detergent without any bleach or bleaching agents. Never pour any detergent directly onto the linens as this may discolor them. It is better to add it to the water as it fills the tub. Avoid overloading the washing machine. Pre-treat any stains prior to washing.
Never use any sort of bleach or bleach containing products. If neccessary you can use Clorox 2 - color safe bleach.
Some hair and skin products such as acne lotions or toothpastes that contain oxidizing agents may cause discoloration of colored sheets and towels. When using such products, it’s safest to sleep on white linens.
Fabric softners should not be used as they reduce the absorbancy of the towel.
Drying
Linens can be machine dryed on medium heat. Remove the linens slightly damp as this will assist in ironing and minimize wrinkles. Do not over dry the sheets as this pulls out the natural moisture, breaking the cotton fiber and create pilling. Do not use a hot setting as this will likely cause excess shrinkage.
Except for terry towels, linens can also be line dried.
Ironing
Iron linens while still damp to assist in ironing. Iron the reverse side of the fabric on medium / high. Use a press cloth when ironing embroidered sheets. A spray bottle with water works well in removing wrinkles.
Storage
Linens should be stored in a cool dry place. Avoid storing linens in plastic bags which may yellow the linens and instead use a old pillowcase.
