The Laundry

🧥 Time to store your winter clothes and bedding? Follow these simple tips to keep them fresh for next season!

✅ Wash or dry clean everything before storing — invisible stains darken over time & attract insects
🪡 Make repairs first — fix hems, buttons & seams before packing away
📦 Store in a cool, dark, ventilated space — avoid attics, damp basements & garages
🌲 Cedar is your best friend — use cedar chests, blocks, or chips to repel moths
🚫 Skip plastic bags for leather, fur & wool — they trap moisture & cause mildew
🗂️ Fold sweaters & linens in acid-free tissue paper to reduce wrinkles
👗 Hang sweaters over a crossbar (not by the shoulders) to prevent stretching
🧴 No space? Store clean off-season items at the back of the closet with current season pieces on top

Your future self will thank you! 🙌

Years of yellowing had dulled these beautiful heirloom dresses. The delicate embroidery on these fine linen organdy dresses needed precise care to bring them back to life! Fine linens and specialty items like these can’t be rushed or machine processed. They require true hand laundering and years of experience.

At The Laundry at Linens Limited, we carefully wash, gently brighten and finish by hand. Heirlooms deserve the art of fine care.
