Welcome to the realm of Von Norten fine linen. To ensure that your napkins and placemats maintain their elegant appearance and longevity, we've curated a comprehensive care guide. Follow these steps to cherish and preserve the splendor of your linens.
1. Pre-Treatment:
- Before the initial wash, soak your linens in cold water for an hour. This step helps retain the fiber's natural softness and reduces shrinkage.
2. Washing:
- Always use cold or lukewarm water (up to 40°C/104°F).
- Choose a mild detergent. Avoid chlorine-based bleach, as it can weaken the fibers and fade the color.
- If using a washing machine, opt for a gentle cycle. Hand washing, however, is always the most delicate method and is highly recommended for preserving fine linens.
3. Drying:
- Line drying is ideal. Hang your linens in a shaded area to prevent color fading from direct sunlight.
- If using a tumble dryer, use a low heat and gentle setting. Remember to remove the linens while still slightly damp to avoid over-drying.
4. Ironing:
- For a crisp finish, iron while the fabric is still damp.
- Set your iron to the 'linen' setting and iron on the reverse side to maintain the fabric's sheen.
- Using a steam iron can help eliminate stubborn wrinkles.
5. Storing:
- Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
- Avoid plastic storage, as it can trap moisture, leading to mildew. Instead, use breathable fabric bags or simply fold and place in a drawer.
6. Addressing Stains:
- Act swiftly! Blot (don't rub) fresh stains gently with a soft, absorbent cloth.
- For persistent stains, seek a professional dry cleaner who's experienced with fine linens.
