Washing Instructions

Use only moderate temperatures for both washing and drying. Always wash white, colored, and dark fabrics separately. Select a mild soap such as a special Linen Wash, or Ivory. Specialty fabric soaps are best. Never use liquid fabric softener, bleach or any detergent containing bleach. Don't use color safe bleach, or bleach for the unbleachables. If you are not sure, it is best not to use the product. Make sure all soap is thoroughly rinsed out.

NOTE: There are some European front loading washing machines that specify that their soap should be used. Please Don't.

It is best to machine wash these bedlinens on a gentle cycle without any other types of articles, in a small to moderate size load. Never wash with towels, blue jeans, or any other articles that can scour the surface of the fabric.

Do not use "water saver" settings. These fabrics will last much better if they have lots of water to swim around in. When water is limited, the fabrics will scrub against themselves. This is also why you should never overload the machine.

Machine dry on delicate at moderate temperatures, and do not overdry. You will be surprised at how quickly these fine fabrics dry. Remove immediately at end of cycle. If you wish to press, it is recommended that ironing be done while the fabric is still slightly damp.
