Embrace the Magic:
Block stamped table linens are a celebration of handcrafted artistry. Each unique piece is lovingly adorned with intricate patterns created by skilled artisans using hand-carved wooden blocks. To truly appreciate the magic, it's essential to know how to care for these treasures.
Sparkling Beginnings:
Before unveiling your block stamped table linens, it's time for a sparkling start! Give them a gentle prewash to remove any lingering dye or chemicals. Fill a basin with cool water and a dash of mild detergent. Gently swish the linens in this sudsy oasis, then rinse thoroughly. Let them dry naturally in the sunshine or press them gently with a cool iron.

Dance of Delicate Care:
When it's time for a thorough cleaning, let the delicate dance of care begin:
Machine Washing: If you choose to entrust your linens to the gentle hum of a washing machine, let it be a happy partnership. Select a delicate cycle with cool water and a mild detergent specially crafted for delicate fabrics. Nestle your linens into the washing machine with like colors. It is best to wash them alone for the first cycle. After their happy spin, retrieve them promptly and place into the dryer. Dry them only part of the way. While still damp, hang to dry.
Vanishing Acts:
Stains may attempt to crash the party, but with the right tricks up your sleeve, they'll vanish without a trace. Perform these acts of stain removal magic:
a. Blotting: For liquid stains, gracefully blot the area with a clean, white cloth or a paper towel, whisking away excess moisture.
b. Spot Treatment: Enchant the stain with a small amount of mild detergent like powdered Tide, gently caressing it with your fingertips. Allow the detergent to work its magic for a few minutes.
c. Rinsing: Rinse the fabric with cool water, starting from the back of the stain to prevent any mischief from spreading. Continue rinsing until the water runs clear, bidding farewell to the pesky stain.
d. Air Dry: Once the stain has vanished, let the linen air dry, watching as it returns to its vibrant, joyful self.

Ironing and Storage with a Smile:
To keep your block stamped table linens looking crisp and ready to dazzle, they deserve a little ironing magic. While they're still slightly damp, iron them with a cheerful heart. Set the iron to a low temperature, using a pressing cloth to protect the fabric's delicate nature. Iron in the direction of the pattern, preserving its whimsical integrity.
Ironing is not required as the linens can be smoothed out flat and look perfect for entertaining as well.
When it's time to bid adieu for a while, store your linens with care and a smile. Be sure that they are clean.
