Table Linen Care Guide

Correct washing helps maintain stain resistance, colour, and overall presentation.

• Machine wash at 40°C for routine laundering
• Use 60°C for heavily soiled items or where hygiene standards require it — the fabric is rated for commercial temperatures
• Use a mild, pH-neutral detergent suitable for polycotton blends
• Do not use bleach — bleach degrades the polycotton fibres and causes colour loss
• Do not use fabric softener — it coats the fibres and reduces stain resistance over time
• Wash similar colours together to prevent colour transfer, especially on first wash
• Turn items inside out on first wash to protect colour
• Use a gentle or normal cycle — avoid heavy-duty cycles unless necessary
• Do not overload the machine — items need room to rinse thoroughly

Proper drying helps preserve the fabric's smooth finish and reduces unnecessary creasing.

• Tumble dry on low to medium heat — high heat can cause shrinkage and weaken fibres
• Remove promptly from the dryer to minimise creasing
• Line drying is preferred where possible — dry in shade or indoors to prevent colour fading from direct sunlight
• Do not wring or twist — gently shake out items before drying
• Ensure items are fully dry before storing to prevent mildew and odour

Conlyn Weave has good wrinkle recovery, so only light finishing is usually needed.

• Iron on a medium heat setting (120–150°C) — suitable for polycotton blends
• Iron while slightly damp for the best results and a crisp finish
• Use steam to help release stubborn creases
• Do not iron on high heat — excessive heat can scorch the fabric or cause shine marks
• For tablecloths, iron in the direction of the weave for a smooth, professional finish
• Napkins can be folded and lightly pressed to shape for presentation

Prompt treatment gives the best results and helps prevent permanent marking.

• Act immediately — blot (do not rub) excess liquid or food with a clean, dry cloth
• Rinse the affected area with cold water before treating — hot water can set stains
• Apply a mild stain remover or pre-wash treatment suitable for polycotton; leave for 5–10 minutes before washing
• For oil or grease stains, apply a small amount of dish soap directly to the stain, work in gently, then rinse
• For wine or juice stains, blot immediately, apply cold water, and treat with a mild enzyme-based stain remover
• For food stains, remove solids first, then treat with cold water and a suitable stain remover
• Do not use bleach or chlorine-based stain removers — these will damage the fabric and cause colour loss
• Wash as normal after treating — check the stain is fully removed before drying, as heat will set any remaining marks

Conlyn Weave Table Linen is engineered to perform in high-frequency commercial laundering environments.

• Rated for repeated commercial laundering at up to 60°C
• Maintains colour-fastness and structural integrity through extended wash cycles
• The polycotton blend resists pilling, tearing, and fibre breakdown under regular use
• Use commercial-grade, pH-neutral detergents — avoid harsh chemicals, optical brighteners, or chlorine-based products
• Tunnel washers and flatwork ironers are suitable — follow manufacturer guidelines for temperature and press settings
• Inspect items regularly for signs of wear; replace items that show significant thinning, fraying, or colour degradation

Good storage practices help protect the fabric and extend its usable life.

• Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and moisture
• Ensure all items are completely dry before folding and storing — damp storage causes mildew and permanent odour
• Fold neatly along consistent fold lines to minimise deep creasing
• Store tablecloths flat or loosely rolled where possible to avoid heavy fold marks
• Do not store in plastic bags for extended periods — use breathable cotton or linen storage bags
• Keep away from sharp objects, rough surfaces, and chemicals that could snag or stain the fabric
• Rotate stock regularly in commercial settings to ensure even wear across your linen inventory
