 Linen
can be laundered with confidence, and all LibecoˇLagae
products carry full washing instructions.
It
is important to select the proper washing agent. Many detergents today
contain optical whitening agents that work well on white and natural
linens. These are not recommended for colored linens, however, as discoloring
and spotting may result. When washing colors, check that your detergent
does not have whitening agents, or choose a soap powder. If you have
hard water, with a high lime content, we recommend a softening agent,
especially for darker colors.

For
stains, try the following: |
 |
Ink:
Soak in milk, or in soap-and-ammonia mixture, and rub the spot. |
|
Blood:
Rinse immediately in cold water. |
|
Fruit,
coffee, tea and chocolate: Rub with alcohol, white vinegar and ammonia. |
|
Candle
wax: Scratch off dried wax, absorb residue with blotting paper and
warm iron.
|
|
Greasy
Stains: Rub with ammonia. |
|
Red
Wine: Rub immediately with sparkling water or white wine.
|
If
stains do not disappear, you can try: |
|
Soaking
the linen in a good washing detergent, or dissolving 3.5 oz. sodium
borate in boiling water, then adding enough cold water to yield
1˝ gallons, and let soak for 1 hour. |
|
Never
use chlorine bleach which may damage the fibers. |
Try a traditional remedy: spread the
linen out on a sunny meadow or your back yard for a few days!
