Linen Placemat in Citrine and Oatmeal

• Linen is wonderful and luxurious. It’s one of the easiest fabrics to care for.
• The smooth and long fibers of linen help resist dirt and stains.
• It gets better with age and softens the more it is washed.
• Linen absorbs water quickly and dries quickly.
• It is durable and strong, lint-free and resistant to pilling.
• Linen can withstand high temperatures.
• It is inherently eco-friendly. Flax has a short growing cycle, is quickly renewable, and every part of the plant is used.

• Machine wash in cool to warm water.
• Use a mild detergent, no bleach.
• Line dry or tumble dry on low heat; remove while still damp.
• Ironing is optional. Some people prefer linen crisp and flat, others like it soft and natural.
• Dry thoroughly before storing.
• We encourage you to use your tea towels daily and enjoy the patina that comes with age!

• Machine wash in cool to warm water.
• Use a mild detergent, no bleach.
• Hang to dry, or tumble dry on low heat and remove while slightly damp. There is very little to no shrinkage when washed this way.
• For natural or colored linen, it’s best not to hang in bright sunlight to avoid fading.
• Ironing is optional, and much easier to do while your apron is still damp. Use a hot iron with plenty of steam or a spray of water.
• Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Well-cared for linen aprons will last for generations.

Stains

• Remove stains with soap and water while still fresh, before they dry.
• Pre-soaking in mild detergent is very effective in lifting stains.
• Never use chlorine bleach which may damage the fibers.
