π§Ό Care Linen Guide
At Kemet, we take pride in offering high-quality, luxurious linens. To ensure your products maintain their softness, durability, and elegance over time, please follow the care instructions below.
π§Ί General Washing Instructions
- Wash linens before first use for maximum softness.
- Use cold or warm water (not exceeding 40Β°C / 104Β°F).
- Always use a mild, liquid detergent without bleach or optical brighteners.
- Wash light and dark colors separately.
- Tip: Turn items inside out before washing to preserve embroidery and color.
π¬ Drying
- Tumble dry on low heat or air dry flat.
- Remove promptly to minimize wrinkles.
- Avoid over-drying, as it can weaken the fibers over time.
π§΄ Ironing
- Iron while slightly damp using a medium heat setting.
- For embroidered or delicate pieces, use a pressing cloth.
- Avoid steam on linen or embroidered surfaces to prevent distortion.
π« What to Avoid
- Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals.
- Avoid fabric softeners β they reduce absorbency and can cause build-up.
- Never wash with items that contain zippers, hooks, or Velcro.
