Care Instructions
- Linen that is well looked after will last for years.
- All our products
are treated to control shrinkage. However, a slight shrinkage of about
4% is normal after the first wash.
- A good rule is
to treat a stain as quickly as possible to prevent it from hardening
as it dries. A little water and soap are usually enough.
- Always read the
washing symbols on the label.
Colored fabrics
- Always soak in cold water without washing powder before the
first use. Soaking in clean water removes the finish on the fabric and
prevents stains from adhering to the fabric.
- Colored fabrics should normally be washed at 60°C with a standard
washing powder.
- For stubborn stains, apply a stain remover before washing,
or simply rub the stain with soap before a second machine wash at 85°C.
Most grease stains disappear with a hotter wash.
- Do not tumble-dry. Spin and hang out to dry. This will ensure
your linen lasts longer and does not lose its shape.
- For the first wash, separate colored items.
NOTE These instructions do not apply to stainproofed tablecloths.
White tablecloths
- White tablecloths can be washed at 90°C, but a 60°C wash
is usually sufficient. If necessary, use a special stain remover before
washing.
- For stubborn stains on white cloths, bleach can be added
to the washing water. Use the specified quantity.
- Do not tumble-dry.
Spin and hang out to dry. This will ensure your linen lasts longer
and does not lose its shape. Iron with a hot iron while slightly damp.
NOTE
These instructions do not apply to stainproofed tablecloths.
Les QUOTIDIENNES (Stain-resistant tablecloths)
- Follow the instructions
carefully:
- Treat stains
as soon as possible by dabbing with a sponge or kitchen paper.
- Machine wash
at 40°C.
- Never
use bleach, solvent or stain remover.
- For stubborn
stains, apply soap to the stain before washing the cloth again,
raise the temperature and machine wash at 60°C.
- We do not recommend
tumble-drying although it does not affect the stainproofing treatment.
- When the tablecloth
is dry, it must be ironed with a hot iron because the stainproofing
is renewed by heat; otherwise it loses its effect.
