Specific Product Care
Napkins & Placemats
Pre-treat stains promptly with a gentle stain remover. For wine or food stains, rinse with cold water immediately and wash as soon as possible.
Towels
Avoid fabric softener, which can reduce absorbency. Add white vinegar to the rinse cycle occasionally to maintain softness and remove buildup.
Table Linens
For best presentation, iron while slightly damp or use a steamer. Store flat or rolled to prevent creasing on embroidered areas.
Storage Tips
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
- Avoid storing in plastic bags - use breathable cotton storage bags instead
- For long-term storage, ensure items are completely clean and dry
