Tea towels
Tea towels are designed for everyday use and are often exposed to stains and frequent washing. Before using them for the first time, we recommend washing them to improve their absorbency.
Wash them at 40°C for regular care, or at 60°C when permitted by the care label. Use a suitable detergent and treat stains promptly to prevent them from setting.
Air drying is recommended, but you can use a tumble dryer at a moderate temperature when indicated on the care label.
Hand towels
Placed in the kitchen or bathroom, hand towels are used several times a day. Regular washing at 40°C helps preserve their softness and absorbency.
Avoid using too much fabric softener to maintain the fibres’ natural qualities. After washing, allow them to dry completely before using or storing them.
Tablecloths
Tablecloths dress your table while protecting it every day. To preserve their shape and colours, we recommend treating stains as soon as possible before washing.
Always follow the instructions on the care label. Washing at 30 or 40°C is suitable for most tablecloths. Depending on the material, ironing at the appropriate temperature helps restore an elegant drape.
Always store your tablecloth when it is completely dry to prevent creases and moisture.
Table napkins
Table napkins can be washed with the rest of your table linen, following the recommendations on their care label.
Choose a 40°C wash to help preserve the fibres and colours. For food stains, pre-treating them before washing makes them easier to remove.
After drying, ironing at the appropriate temperature helps restore their shape and finish.
