Luxury Linen Care Guides

A complete collection of our expert tips that will help you maintain your high-end linens, ensuring they last for years to come.

Step 1: Always read the manufacturer care label before washing.

Step 2: Per the instructions of the label, either wash on a gentle cycle with warm or cold water and then use a cold-water rinse.

Step 3: Use a specialty liquid detergent that is mild that contains no bleach, brighteners, or whiteners.

Step 4: Fabric softeners will weaken fine linen fibers; therefore, we do not recommend them.

Step 5: Never use bleach as it can weaken fibers and cause yellowing.

Step 6: For additional care designed for sheets, towels, rugs, throw blankest and table linens, refer to the articles below.
