Care Instructions:

WASH: Your linen items can be hand washed and machine washed. Prior to shipping any items all pieces are washed and heat set to remove any excess dye and to set dye to ensure permanence.  Either washing method is a personal preference and will not shrink or stretch your fabric.

 PLEASE NOTE:  For all pillow covers we recommend spot cleaning and machine washing very only when neccessary. With machine washing the leather pull may become fragile and brittle over time, to preserve the material intergety of the leather spot clean is most recommended.

Our personal preference:  Machine wash and line dry!

 MACHINE WASH:For best results wash separately from other fabrics, especially for the first several washes.

Wash in lukewarm water (104 F) or cool. Washing in high temperatures may cause shrinkage of up to 10% and overtime may weaken the linen fiber. Use gentle cycle and be careful to not overload the washing machine. Use mild detergent.

PILLOW INSERTS: Shell is made of a polyester – cotton blend | Machine washable cold,  Machine dry low,  Add tennis ball to drying cycle for extra fluffiness, Odorless, Fluff as needed, Lent and Dust Free

DO  NOT BLEACH

 Our personal preference: Air dry/ hang dry or can be tumbled dry on low heat

 IRONING LINEN: Natural linen will crease and wrinkle with time, it’s the nature of flax fiber. However, if you wish to iron: Medium-hot iron on the fabric while it is still dam or spray with just water to dampen prior to ironing.

 STAINS: Minor spots or stains soak in a water detergent solution or spot wash with club soda. If the stain remains you can put some dish soap and gently  massage the mark until the stain lifts.  Then wash as usual.  For tricky stains sprinkle baking soda and a few drops of vinegar on fabric, blot the excess and wash as usual.
