Tips for washing:
The napkins are meant to be used and washed, and will only become softer over time. When washed they will fade a little and the linen will soften. If you desire to keep them pristine then just put them on display, but I love to use them and let them live their best linen cocktail napkin life. Tips for keeping them happy:
Wash with gentle cycle with mild detergent
Lay flat or hang to dry, can be put in the dryer too but they may wrinkle
Press with a steamy, clean hot iron
Enjoy!
