 Linen
can be laundered with confidence, and all Gray Line 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 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!
