5. Ironing:
If you prefer a crisp look, iron your linens while they are still slightly damp. For a more casual look, many collections can be used straight from the dryer.
6. Storage:
Store your linens in a cool, dry place. Avoid plastic containers, as they can trap moisture and lead to mildew. Instead, use breathable fabric bags or cotton pillowcases.

By following these simple guidelines, you can ensure that your Kemet linens remain beautiful and comfortable for years to come. Do you have any specific questions about caring for a particular collection or item, Please email us.

  • Mild Detergent: Use a mild liquid detergent without bleach, whiteners, or fabric softeners.
  • Pre-Treat Stains: Pre-treat any stains before washing, avoiding bleach.
  • Avoid Heavy Items: Don’t wash fine linens with heavy items like jeans or those with hardware.
  • Protect Delicates: Place delicate lace and embellished linens in a pillowcase or mesh laundry bag.
  • Detergent Amount: Use half the recommended amount of detergent unless linens are very soiled.
  • Avoid Overloading: Don’t overload the washing machine to prevent fabric abrasion.

Drying

• Line Drying: Ideal but not always practical. Provides natural bleaching and is gentle on fibers.
• Machine Drying:

  • Shake out and smooth damp linens before placing them in the dryer.
  • Avoid dryer sheet fabric softeners.
  • Tumble dry on low heat until slightly damp.
  • Avoid overloading the dryer.
  • Use the lowest heat setting to prevent weakening fibers and shrinkage.
  • Remove items promptly while still slightly damp, then air dry or iron.

Tip

  • Freezer Trick: If you can’t iron immediately, roll linens in a towel or plastic bag and store in the freezer for up to 24 hours. This makes them easier to iron and prevents mildew.

These steps will help keep your linens looking and feeling their best. Do you have any specific questions about caring for a particular type of linen or any other tips you’d like to know, please email us.

BED LINEN CARE

These bed linen care tips are excellent for ensuring the longevity and beauty of your Kemet linens. Here’s a quick summary to keep in mind:

Pre-Washing

  • Pre-Wash New Linens: Always pre-wash new linens before using them to set the threads and preserve the fabric’s beauty.
  • Cold Pre-Soak: Fully unfold linens, set the machine to include a cold pre-soak, and use minimal liquid detergent.
General Care
  • Avoid Fabric Softeners: Do not use fabric softeners as they coat and weaken natural fibers. Your linens will soften naturally with use and washing.
  • Rotation: Use three sets of bed linens in rotation to allow each set to rest from use and washing.
  • Matching Linens: Wash matching linens together to maintain color consistency and brightness.
Handling and Storage
  • Remove Accessories: Remove jewelry and watches to avoid damaging fibers while sleeping.
  • Clean Skin: Wash off makeup, sunscreen, and harsh skincare products before bed to prevent damage to the fibers.
  • Gentle Handling: Pull sheets from below the hem to avoid stressing delicate threads.
  • Proper Storage: Store linens in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, shielded from direct sunlight. Use white cotton, muslin, or acid-free paper for long-term storage. Avoid plastic bags, boxes, or cedar chests.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure your Kemet linens remain beautiful and comfortable for years to come. Do you have any specific questions about caring for a particular type of linen or any other tips you’d like to know, please email us.
