0 LINEN CARE GUIDE Our household linen tells a lot about us; our own style, habits and daily rituals, the special care of our actions, of the attention we give to ourselves and to those who share our lives and spaces. Rivolta Carmignani linen goes beyond; it is highly durable and handcrafted to create a deep bond between ourselves and our homes. To ensure the longevity of our linen and preserve the extreme comfort of its precious yarns for years to come, it is essential to take good care of it by following some simple instructions. Washing Symbols The secret for the correct maintenance of each item is the care label. The symbols represent the instructions for washing, bleaching, drying, ironing, and dry cleaning. Reading the labels correctly and understanding the symbols is the first step to taking care of household linen. WASHING DETERGENT DRYING IRONING IN THE CLOSET How to wash household linen A correct washing cycle is essential for the best conservation of the linens over time and to ensure our well-being. It is necessary to always separate the linen items by colour (white and colours) as well as by type of fabric (cotton, wool, linen, silk, etc.). This allows you to better organize the washing cycles and to choose the most suitable program for the different types of linens. For a proper cleaning process, it is important to unfold and shake them before putting into the washing machine. The drum should never be overloaded, both for regular washing machine operation and for truly effective washing procedures. Household linen, in principle and unless otherwise indicated on the label, should be washed at a temperature of 30 ° / 40 °. In the case of tough, stubborn stains, washing can be carried out at temperatures above 40 ° only when indicated on the label. High temperatures are allowed only on very resistant fabrics. Once the washing cycle is over, it is recommended to remove the laundry as soon as possible and to shake it to eliminate creases and make drying easier. The door should be left ajar until the inside of the drum is completely dry to avoid any mould or unwanted smells. It is important to remember that cleaning and maintenance of the washing machine are also fundamental to the effective cleaning of linens and for their preservation over time. Clean the washing machine interior once a month at high temperature, taking the opportunity to wash rags and other very resistant items, to remove detergent residues and other impurities.
