Read carefully the instructions mentioned on the product labels. These instructions have been formulated after a series of laboratory tests, and provide you with a guarantee of security. Thanks to them you will know exactly how to treat your linen in the best way. (Refer to the meaning of the maintenance symbols)

	Before using any new household linen, we recommend that you soak it for several hours in clear water so as to dissolve the finishing agents and eliminate any surplus dyes.
	To know whether your linen is wash resistant, iron it on the other side with a pressing cloth , if it colours, it is not wash resistant.
	Before washing, sort the linen by separating white from colours.
	For effective washing, avoid overloading the drum of your washing machine, your linen will come out better washed, better rinsed and less creased.
	Wash all separates together to avoid differences of colour due to washing.
	To preserve all the shine of your household linen, divide by two the dose of detergent prescribed on the package and go for a light wash. A detergent containing whitening agents risks distorting the colours of your linen.
	To wash terry-towelling, do not use softening agents which reduce the absorbent power of textile fibres.
	All fabrics made of natural fibres undergo some shrinking. In order to minimise the risks of shrinkage, we recommend that you do not wash all your linen at the maximum temperature indicated by the maintenance symbols, but that you increase the temperature progressively.
	If you wash curtains, don't forget to remove the hooks as they risk tearing the fabric.
	For hand-washing, avoid leaving your linen to soak too long, and wring out carefully.
	Don't wait before washing a fabric which is very dirty.
