White linens without special finishes can be washed at higher temperatures eg up to 90°C if stained, but try to use a stain remover (not bleach) first. Do not wash with other dark coloured fabrics in case dye not fast, conventional machine wash and fast spin is recommended, iron while still damp. No need to starch. If you do not wish to iron try our easy care linens - and appreciate the slightly creased modern look!
