• Use only very mild detergents or linen washes. Don't use too much, and be careful not to pour them directly onto the fabric.

• Wash with similar colors on the gentle cycle with warm -- not hot -- water.

• Never use chlorine bleach or detergents with bleach. Enzyme-reactive stain removers may be used as needed. 

• Forget fabric softeners. Buildup will coat threads and leave them brittle.

• Let the sheets air dry if possible. Otherwise, use the low setting on the dryer and take them out while they're still damp.

• Iron sheets while they're still slightly damp to the touch. When pressing monograms or embellishments, place them facedown on a thick towel to avoid flattening the design.
