Care
Linen can be laundered with confidence, and all Libeco·Lagae
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
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 1½
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!
