Simple Fabrics with Easy Maintenance
I think we can all agree, ironing and steaming linens can be a chore.
We know the credo we recommend in our blog posts most of all is to always iron your linens. But let’s be honest, even if ironing doesn’t bother you, taking on an entire event’s worth of linens is enough put a damper on your day.
Naturally our customers are pleading for an alternative for the drudgery of steaming and ironing. Occasionally this desperation will lead a customer to want to try a wacky wrinkle remedy they’ve read about online. Trust me, you would not believe the lengths some people will go to avoid ironing or steaming their linens. While the internet may promise strange methods for speedy wrinkle removal, beware!
There are no shortcuts when it comes to linen preparation. You should never attempt any method for wrinkle removal besides the suggestions from our Materials & Care Guide. Unfortunately, unapproved home remedies for busting wrinkles have left some of our customers replacing their ruined linens. Ruined linens are a heartbreaking casualty to the war on wrinkles. However, there is one secret to avoiding the iron: work with fabrics that naturally resist wrinkles!
