Laundry Instructions

1. Always check the care label prior to washing and separate linens into light and dark colours
2. Wash at 40 degrees using a mild detergent
3. Avoid laundering fine linens with other items, especially those containing polyester and items with heavy buttons or zips as these can damage the fabric
4. Pre-treat any stains prior to washing
5. Wash linens with lace or cut outs inside out
6. Stretch and reshape linen from corner to corner prior to drying

TIP: The less detergent you use the better!

Drying Instructions

1. Do not tumble dry
2. Natural fibres will crease but there are ways you can minimise the creasing
3. Dry your linen draped carefully on a clothes horse or line dry
4. Iron when slightly damp

Ironing

1. Always make sure to check that your steam iron is clean as mineral deposits build up and can cause brown spotting
2. Iron linens while still slightly damp. Use a steam iron on a hot setting for cotton

TIP: To preserve embroidery and finishes, iron on the reverse side

TIP: Linens with delicate lace or cut-outs should be ironed underneath a white towel or cloth

Storage

1. Natural fabrics need to breathe so it is best to store your fine linen in a cool, dry and well aired press with no exposure to sunlight
2. Do not store your linen in plastic bags or boxes as this can cause yellowing

TIP: Linens stored long term should be wrapped in cotton, an old pillowcase makes a great storage bag

Dry Cleaning

1. Dry-cleaning is not recommended for fine linens such as Francis Brennan the Collection.
