on 5/27/2009 If you have invested in fine linens it is important to take good care of them. In addition not using bleach or whiteners, wash the linens separately and use a mild detergent. I would also dry on low heat and remove when they are still just a little bit damp. I've always purchased my linens from Elegant Linens and the laundering instructions are from them. I've never had any problems. Check them out at www.elegantlinenspc.com
