GENERAL CARE

  • Use cold water when possible to prevent shrinkage and color fading
  • Avoid overloading the washing machine

CARE BY FABRIC

COTTON

Machine wash cold with like colors. Tumble dry low or hang to dry. Iron on medium heat if needed. Cotton may shrink slightly after the first wash.

WOOL

Hand wash in cold water with wool-specific detergent or dry clean. Lay flat to dry away from direct heat. Never wring or twist. Store folded, not hung, to maintain shape.

SILK

Dry clean recommended. If hand washing, use cold water and silk detergent. Never twist or wring. Roll in a towel to remove excess water, then lay flat to dry. Iron on low heat while slightly damp.

LINEN

STAIN REMOVAL

  • Oil-based stains: Apply dish soap before washing

  • Ink: Dab with rubbing alcohol using a cotton ball
  • Makeup: Pre-treat with liquid laundry detergent
  • Always test stain removers on an inconspicuous area first
  • Never put stained items in the dryer – heat sets stains
