Cotton Care
Prewash your linens before first use. Separate your fine linens from other items in the wash, especially those containing polyester, which tends to create pilling, and items with heavy zippers, which can damage the fabric. Separate light and dark colors. Avoid overloading the washing machine, which can cause fibers to break down from excessive abrasion and agitation. Wash in warm water on a gentle cycle with a cold-water rinse. Be careful to pretreat stains prior to washing. Use a mild detergent without added bleach or whiteners.

Linen Care
Machine wash in hot water for whites, cold for colors. Use pure soap for soft water or a gentle detergent in hard water. Use oxygenated bleach for whites only; chlorine bleach can weaken the fabrics and cause yellowing. Remember to use the rinse cycle to remove all detergent. Avoid twisting or wringing out linens before drying. Tumble dry low.

Towel Care
Machine wash using cold water and non-chlorine bleach detergent. Chlorine bleach will weaken the fabric and cause yellowing. Always separate light and dark colors – and wash towels only with other towels to prevent pilling. Tumble dry on low heat and never use fabric softener w as this could make towels less absorbent.
