LINEN CARE
All Libeco linens can be machine washed or dry cleaned. We recommend you wash your linen at 60° C/ 140 °F. In case of persistent stains, the fabric may be boiled (with preliminary washing and soaking, if needed). Linens must be completely unfolded before washing. Do not overload the machine. Ironing should be done on slightly damp linen. In addition, please check specific washing instructions included with the products - all Libeco products carry full washing instructions on the label.
It is important to select the proper washing agent. Many detergents today contain optical whitening agents that work well on white and natural linens. These are not recommended for coloured linens, however, as discolouring and spotting may result. When washing colours, check that your detergent does not have whitening agents, or choose a soap powder. If you have hard water, with a high lime content, we recommend a softening agent, especially for darker colors.
STAINS
For stains, try the following:
- Ink: Soak in milk, or in soap-and-ammonia mixture, and rub the spot.
- Blood: Rinse immediately in cold water.
- Fruit, coffee, tea and chocolate: Rub with alcohol, white vinegar and ammonia.
- Candle wax: Scratch off dried wax, absorb residue with blotting paper and warm iron.
- Greasy Stains: Rub with ammonia.
- Red Wine: Rub immediately with sparkling water or white wine.
If stains do not disappear, you can try:
- Soaking the linen in a good washing detergent, or dissolving 3.5 oz. sodium borate in boiling water, then adding enough cold water to yield 1½ gallons, and let soak for 1 hour.
- Never use chlorine bleach which may damage the fibres.
