At Herman's Textiles, we want to ensure your premium woolen and linen fabrics maintain their exceptional quality for years to come. Proper care is essential for preserving the luxurious texture, vibrant colors, and structural integrity of our fine textiles. Here are some basic tips:
Wool Fabrics:
- Invest in high-quality wool garment bags or fabric storage boxes to protect from dust, moths, and sunlight when not in use.
- Have wool garments and home goods professionally dry cleaned. The chemicals in at-home pretreat solutions can damage the fibers.
- Use a pure, mild soap and cold water when hand-washing wool fabrics. Avoid twisting, wringing or agitation.
- Steam wool clothing and home decor instead of iron pressing to remove wrinkles and refresh the fabric.
Linen Fabrics:
- Linen can be machine washed on a gentle, cold cycle. Avoid chlorine bleach as it can weaken the fibers.
- Remove linen items promptly from the washer to prevent wrinkling and hang or lay flat to air dry.
- For stubborn wrinkles, linen can be ironed on high heat when slightly damp.
- Store linen in a cool, dry place between uses to prevent yellowing or mustiness.
Our friendly staff is happy to provide care recommendations specific to the fabrics you purchase. Caring for your investment properly ensures pieces made with Herman's Textiles fabrics will remain beautiful for years.
