Care and Repair
General directions for care and washing of bed linen and table linen.
Washing
Before washing sort your household linen by:
• fibre (cotton, linen, silk, wool)
• colour (whites, light colours, dark colours)
• type of item (sheets, towels, tablecloths).
Do not include items made of synthetic fibers to your
linen.
Also, do not include garments with components that could
damage fabrics (zippers, hooks, metal, parts). Make sure
the items are unfolded when loading the machine.
For bed linens we advise you to wash in cold water with
mild, liquid biodegradable detergent.
Delicate items with lace and embroidery should be
enclosed in a large, thin mesh bag.
Pillowcases and duvet covers should be washed inside out
to protect the lace.
When the wash cycle is completed, remove the laundry
immediately and shake it to minimize wrinkles.
Use maximum temperatures only on the hardest-to-clean
articles.
Detergent
For washing your bed- and table linen it is very
important to use a good detergent. Many detergents
contain a bleaching agent to make whites more vibrant.
As this kind of detergent is recommended for white
fabrics, it is certainly not recommended for coloured
fabrics
For washing your bed linen and table linen we advise you
to use exclusively liquid colour washing detergent.
Avoid powdered detergent or detergents containing
alkalis and make sure the detergent is fully dissolved
before the water touches the fabric. The amount of
detergent depends on how soiled the laundry is and on
the hardness of the water. Use a smaller amount than
specified on the package because such instructions
usually over-estimate the required amount.
Never use Chlorine bleach. Chlorine bleach has an
adverse effect on your fabrics.
