Linens & Lace Care
COTTON LACE CARE
  • Normally, cotton lace can be hand washed, OR machine-washed on "Delicates" program. See manufacturer instructions. Always HAND WASH your Church laces!
  • Use mild detergents. With white cotton lace, non-chlorine bleach may be used, to remove stains.
  • Avoid applying any sort of vigorous physical force, because lace fibers can be easily damaged.
  • When the lace is clean, squeeze it gently to remove water. DO NOT WRING.
  • Place the lace between two towels (on ironing board), and iron.

    LINEN MATERIAL CARE
  • Usually linen can be machine-washed without any problem, and even becomes more pleasant to touch after numerous laundries.
  • Linen may be line-dried or machine-dried. Just be sure to remove the linen from the line or the dryer while it is still damp.
  • Linen likes regular soap or gentle detergent. For white linens, you may use oxygen-type bleaches (chlorine bleaches can cause yellowing).
  • It�s recommended to iron linen while it�s still damp. You may use hot to very hot setting, depending on linen weight. The thicker the linen, the hotter your iron should be.
  • Light-colored linen should be ironed on the wrong side first, then on the right side. Dark linens - on the wrong side only. When ironing an embroidered linen, put a soft towel over embroidered area, and iron via the towel. Read more about Linen Material & Care.
