Care Instructions
Tea Towels / Woven fabrics :
Machine wash up to 60 °. It is advisable to leave the fabric to soak overnight in cold water with a little white vinegar and to do a first wash at 30 or 40 ° with similar colors.
It may happen that during the first wash some dyed yarns too loaded with dye "bleed" a little ... Just rewash immediately and all the excess dye will disappear, including on accidentally colored textiles.
Avoid mixing synthetic and natural fibres; polyester can form lint which can catch on natural fibres.
Natural materials are sensitive to concentrated alkaline solutions and bleaching products, so choose detergents based on natural Marseille soap without other additives.
Avoid fabric softeners which reduce the absorbency of textiles. Instead, consider putting a “shot” of white vinegar in the fabric softener tray; it’s good for the linen and environmentally friendly.
Textiles made from natural fibers naturally shrink by 5 to 10% depending on the fibers.
Printed fabrics :
Machine wash cold, cold cycle or 30° maximum.
Printing means that the pattern/colour are deposited on the fabric (unlike weaving, where the pattern/colour are inherent in the structure of the fabric).
Textiles live withus, it is therefore quite natural that when subjected to high levels of use or solicitation (repeated washing, frequent rubbing, prolonged exposure to UV rays, etc.), the fabric will be damaged and faded.
Knitted wool blend blankets :
Hand washing recommended (washing machine : cold and wool cycle).
