Care Guide

Machine Washing

Pre-washing:

• Wash your fine linens separately from other textile items and always separate light and dark colours before laundering.
• Turn your linens inside out for better preservation of any embroideries, laces, or decorations.
• Ensure all buttons are unbuttoned.
• Place your fine linens in a large laundry mesh bag to avoid tearing.
• Ensure you do not overfill your washing machine; linens need space to move freely in the water for thorough cleaning.

Washing:

• Use a mild liquid detergent (e.g., baby detergent) without added bleach or whiteners. Do not pour detergent directly onto linens; add it to your machine’s designated containers or, for top-loading washing machines, dilute your detergent with water.
• Entirely avoid using fabric softener as over time harsh chemicals can damage the natural fibres.

Setting:

• Machine wash on a gentle/delicate cycle in warm (30° or 40° Celsius) water with a cold-water rinse.

Drying

Ideally, line dry your linens outside in soft sunlight. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Indoor air-drying is also a suitable alternative.

If this is not possible, follow the guide below for machine-drying:

• Avoid overloading the machine in order to dry the linens evenly.
• Set to the lowest heat. High heat will weaken the fibres and increase shrinkage.
• Remove items from the dryer while slightly damp; and let air dry, or, iron while only slightly damp for maximum wrinkle removal.

Ironing

In order to achieve a smooth, luxurious finish to your fine linens, we recommend ironing your linens after washing.

• Iron linens while slightly damp for maximum wrinkle removal.
• Adjust the iron’s temperature setting according to the fabric type. If your linens are slightly damp, the use of the steam function is not recommended.
• Use a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric to prevent scorching.
• To treat stubborn wrinkles, spray with water from a spray bottle and iron.
• To preserve the three-dimensional effect of embroideries and monograms, iron on its reverse side, atop a white towel to give soft support to the embroidery design.
• Iron sateen linens on the reverse side to maintain the lustrous sateen sheen.

To effortlessly smooth out wrinkles, lightly mist your fine linens with a spray bottle once the bed has been made.

Additional

• We recommend using three sets of bed linens in rotation: one on the bed, one in the wash, one in the linen closet. This will allow each set a rest from use and from wash.
• If your water is hard, consider adding a water filter to your washing machine to prevent mineral build-up on the linens.
• Inspect and repair any small tears or loose threads before washing to prevent further damage.
• Remove jewellery and watches, or other accessories that may damage fibres while sleeping. The added abrasion can—over time—break down the fibres.
• Professional hand washing is recommended for linens of significant importance—heirlooms or those with heavy decoration or embroideries. Be sure to use a reputable launderer who knows how to launder delicate linens.
• We do not recommend using the dry cleaner for our products.
• Store linens in a cool, dry place. Avoid plastic containers as they can trap moisture; opt for natural fibre bags.
