Laundering luxury linens requires a little extra time and care. Please follow these recommended steps to prevent damage to the sheets and you will have many happy years of enjoyment.

Be gentle. Set your washing machine on the gentle cycle and use warm water. Never use chlorine bleach, which breaks down fibers.

Don't overdo the detergent — and make sure it's a pH-balanced product, such as LeBlanc Linen Wash, Planet, & Ivory Snow. Do not pour detergent over dry linens and always dissolve soap in water before adding linens.

Dry with care — Line drying is preferred. In the absence of line drying, place in a dryer on the low heat. Remove sheets from the dryer while they are still damp.

Iron sheets while damp. For cotton use a warm iron; for linens use a hot iron and a spritzer.
