Care Guide

I make each item with the intention that they will be cherished for years to come as a meaningful keepsake or heirloom, so I wanted to give you some info on how to care for them. 


Linen Items:
- Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle in cool to warm water with mild non bio detergent.
- Linen loves to be air-dried. Lay flat or hang, and smooth out with your hands while damp to reduce wrinkles. You can also roll the item in a towel to remove excess water before air drying. Avoid tumble drying
- If ironing, use a medium heat with steam while the fabric is still slightly damp and work on the reverse side, or using a cloth over the embroidery.
- Linen softens beautifully with each wash

Treat linen stains quickly, before they have time to set:
1. Blot with a clean cloth to soak up as much of the stain as possible - never rub 
2. Pre-treat with home remedies like baking soda, cornstarch, or a gentle enzyme cleaner, especially for oil or food stains, but always test a small hidden area first.
3. Soak for a bit if needed, then wash gently, rinse thoroughly, and air dry.


Cotton Voile Items:
- Hand wash gently in cool to warm water with a mild detergent.
- Avoid wringing — instead, roll in a towel to remove excess water and lay flat or hang to dry. Avoid tumble drying
- If ironing, use a low-medium heat and press cloth over the embroidery to avoid touching the delicate stitching or fabric
- Keep out of strong sunlight for long periods, as it can fade colour.

Treat cotton stains quickly, before they have time to set:
1. Blot gently with a clean white cloth or paper towel — never rub, as voile is lightweight and can snag.
2. Mix a small amount of mild detergent with lukewarm water and gently dab the stain. (always spot test on a hidden area first if possible) 
3. Rinse away any soap with a damp cloth, then wash as usual by hand.

For more stubborn stains, a diluted white vinegar solution can be used.

Silk Items:
- Best cared for with a gentle hand wash in cool to lukewarm water using a silk safe or very gentle detergent. Soak briefly (a few minutes at most
- Avoid wringing - Rinse well, then roll in a towel to absorb extra water. Lay flat to air dry.
- Always iron on the silk setting, without steam, once fully dry. Iron on the reverse or place a cloth between. A handheld steamer is also a gentle and safe option for removing wrinkles
- Avoid bleach, wringing, or soaking in very hot water, and keep silk out of strong sunlight

Silk stains:
Water marks: If water spots appear on silk, submerge the entire piece in warm water for 2–3 minutes, then let it air dry.
Stains: It’s always best to treat marks quickly, as they become harder to remove once set:
1. Use a clean white cloth or paper towel to gently blot the area and absorb as much of the stain as you can.
2. Mix a couple of tablespoons of lukewarm water with the same amount of either white vinegar or lemon juice. (Or silk stain remover). Using a clean white cloth, lightly dab the stain with this solution. Be careful not to rub too vigorously, as this can damage the delicate silk fibres.
3. Rinse carefully and air dry. 

If the stain lingers, a dry cleaner is the safest option.

Storage Tips for all fabrics:
- Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight to prevent fading and fabric degradation
- Fold items gently; for long-term storage, use acid-free tissue paper between layers to protect the stitching
- Avoid plastic containers—natural fibres benefit from breathable storage.


With care, natural fabrics will age gracefully and stay special for many years. Please contact me if you have any more questions.
