Tip of the Week

Donīt fold an item the same way after each laundering, this causes stress on the fabric fibers where the folds appear. Donīt store vintage linens in plastic bags for extended periods, they need to breathe. Donīt store linens in a cedar chest due to the cedar oil which can stain linens. Store on an open airy shelf in the linen closet. Use acid free paper if wrapping items for extended storage. Many larger items such as runners and tablecloths can be effectively stored rolled up. Several smaller items can be rolled together, rolling eliminates the fabric fiber stress which can happen along folds.
