THIS WILL SAVE YOU MONEY:

Most of us are ruining our sheets and towels.  Our basic instinct is wash them often and use extra detergent and lots of other things we buy because the promise of Fresh, Clean, White and Soft are all irresistable.  We also try and avoid mustiness by over drying.

Natural cotton sheets, linen, bamboo and some blends are all waaaaay easier to care for than that.  So here is the skinny on sheets and towels.

towel

♦ Always read the care instructions – just in case you have bought the rare exception to these rules.

♦ Cold and warm water in the wash cycle.

♦ Cold water in the rinse cycle.

♦ Do a second rinse if you have that option. This gets rid of any excess soap and allergens.  It is excess soap usually that makes, sheets,    towels and clothing feel scratchy.

♦ Use a detergent that does NOT contain a fabric softener or bluing agent.  Fabric softeners are a no no.  They artificially “soften” by breaking down the fibers of the textile – shortening the life of the fabric.  They also coat the fibers which make them less absorbent and after awhile prohibits them from “breathing” which is the purpose of cotton, linen and bamboo.

♦ Use 1/4 to 1/3 the recommended amount of detergent !!!

♦ Do not use Chlorine Bleach. Chlorine bleach has a devastating effect on sheets and towels. You may use a chlorine bleach which is marked as “Safe on Colors”.  You may use SHOUT or Gonzo.

♦ Tumble Dry on the Low setting or Perma Press. Over drying is the leading cause of rough towels and shrinking sheets.

♦ Do not use drier sheets. They have the same effect as fabric softeners and the same chemicals.

♦ Remove sheets and towels immediately from the drier.  Smooth and Fold to avoid ironing. If  linen sheets are very wrinkled, remove before the end of the cycle and let dry on top of a flat surface (like the bed).

♥ Hint:  If you have a monogram, iron it from the reverse side on to a terry cloth so that it stays three dimensional and does not flatten out over time.

♥Hint:  Always store linens in an open and airy place or in tissue – Never in plastic.

♥ Hint: Ladies, some lotions and soaps can act as bleach.  If you are using Retin A, clearasil or any lotion with benzoyl peroxide or alpha hydroxide; you should use only white towels and sheets.

♥Hint:  Sheets that have been put away for the winter can be refreshed with a quick cold rinse with a bit of white vinegar.

♥Hint:  If you suffer from allergies, try Bamboo sheeting  or Purity Organic sheeting   (www.goredean.com).

 

Cher does Anichini…. and so can you Thursday, Jun 10 2010 

Sheets , , , , Blogger 11:53 pm

Iam a Buddhist,” says Cher with characteristic self-deprecation, “who should always be in after-school detention.”
Indeed. And it is precisely that irrepressible mix of spirituality and spunk that makes the singer-actress’s spectacular new duplex, perched high above Los Angeles, as gloriously original as its owner.
“My houses,” she muses, “are passions.” They are also decorative barometers of the current state of her never-boring, ever-expanding consciousness. “I’ve played around with Buddhism for years,” continues the actress, a devotee of the American Buddhist nun Pema Chödrön (“a genius in Sheldon Leonard’s body,” she quips). “As corny as it sounds, the soul of the universe, everything that I need, I can find in its practice.”
So it wasn’t surprising when, snapping up two floors and 4,000 square feet in one of Los Angeles’ hottest buildings, Cher turned to friend and interior designer Martyn Lawrence-Bullard to help her conjure up “something ethnic, spicy and romantic”—albeit in creams, ivories, whites and buttery beiges. “Though I loved collecting Gothic and can spend hours drawing with every shade of Pantone pen, I prefer a neutral palette, especially in my bedrooms, because the colors are so easy to live with.”

ANICHINI and CHER!

Cher, a long time Anichini aficionado, just completed the interior of her new home in West Hollywood. Working with her designer, Martyn Lawrence- Bullard, she chose some of the most rare and beautiful products in our collection. She was drawn to the ethereal muga silk collection; it is found in every room, but dominates the bedroom.  Muga silk has as long and ancient history associated with its natural golden luminescence.

Tablecloths Shapes, Sizes and the fuss factor Thursday, Apr 1 2010 

Uncategorized Blogger 7:27 pm

Tablecloths date back to Midevel Times when people travelled from village to village and castle to castle.  During these trips food items were carefully wrapped in cloth.  Upon arriving at their destination, they would place the cloth on the table, unfold and prepare for their meal.  The unfolded cloth now served as a napkin were the persons dinning would clean their hands and mouths during the meal.  At the end of the meal, the remaining food items were re-wrapped in the same cloth. 

Tablecloths today are used as a covering spread over a dining table before the tableware is set.  Tablecloths serve to dress a table, and for protection from scratches. 

Whether you use a tablecloth or a placemat, it is the style and texture that determine its formality.

Tablecloths can be made of cotton, silk, linen and cotton/polyester blends. Cotton, Linen, and Silk tablecloths are machine washable, and require ironing, while cotton/polyester blends are easy-care (machine washable/no iron).  Cotton, Linen, and Silk tablecloths are typically used for more formal settings while cotton/polyester blends are used for casual everyday dining.

Tablecloths Shapes, Which One Is The Right One?

  • Round table:        use a round or square tablecloth.
  • Round table w/ leaves:        use an oval tablecloth.
  • Square table:        use a square tablecloth.
  • Square or Rectangular table with leaves:     use an oblong tablecloth
  • Oval table:         use an oval or oblong tablecloth.

**When using an oval tablecloth, a template of the table must be followed to assure a proper fit.  You can either have a professional template made OR do what I do…..Lay a newspaper (or brown paper) accross the table until theentire top is covered. Tape the paer together aloung the seams to create one solid piece of paper. Cut along the edge of the table  (it doesn’t have to be perfect). Then roll the paer up end to end and secure with a rubber band or tape.  Sendit to us or bring it in.  We’ll do the rest.

Tablecloth Sizes, What Size Do I Need? 

Your tablecloth should be the proper size for the table on which it will be used. Here is an easy guide for selecting the proper cloth for your table.

  • Measure your table as you intend to use it (with our without leaves).
  • Add 20 inches (for a 10inch drop) and 30 inches (for a 15inch drop) to both the length and width. This will give you a drop of 15inches (if you added all around.  A 10 to 15 inch drop all round is recommended.
If you find yourself caught without the table measurements, don’t panic. 
The following chart is based on how many people you intend to seat at your table.
IF YOUR TABLE IS OBLONG  
and the size is…. your cloth should be approx…
Small – Seats 4

Standard-Seats 6

Extended by 1 Leaf-Seats 8-10

Laundering Fine Linen

4 01 2009

 There has been a lot written in the last few years about “thread count” in sheets and the quality that it represents. You seldom read that thread counts differ country to country or that the type of thread used is more important than the number. So we will dispense with the subject and concentrate on how to care for linens that are an “ investment”. Everyone’s pocket book is defferent, but everyone knows the difference between linens that are worth taking care of and the ones you know will not be in your closet two years from now.

Good linens can last for thirty years with the proper handling. Thay can withstand childern, dogs and champagne in bed if they are cared for. However it is important to realize first how they are constructed and to know the difference between what should be expected to withstand wear and what will never be able to last beyond summer camp or a year in a college dorm.

Linens are constructed on a grid; horizontal threads and vertical threads. If the threads are pure cotton and not cotton peices, they should be able to withstand a great deal of wear.  If however, you cut into the grid to make a fitted bottom sheet, you cut dramatically the strength of the weave and the sheet will tear. So the first rule of sheeting: ALWAYS USE A FLAT BOTTOM SHEET.  And because stains and wear are usually sustained by the bottom sheet, I always recommend purchasing a second bottom sheet.  In a set that can cost into the hundreds and thousands of dollars, this is a good investment. If you can use sheets nicely for 30 years or pass them on to your children as an heirloom; you have actually saved yourself money.

The care of sheeting, however, is a bigger challenge than the expense. Though lesser quality sheets give us the freedom to go from dryer to bed, beautiful sheets from Leron, Anichini, Frette, and Gayle Warwick look their best when ironed. I have been called in to replace lovely sheets that the owner thought were dowdy, when all that was required was an iron for them to look as they did the day they came home.  Ironing sheets is a chore,  but for this excercise, let’s say it’s worth it.

TO LAUNDER SHEETING:

1.  Machine was in warm water, not hot.

2.  Wash in the gentle cycle.

3.  Use a mild detergent Do not use bleach, stain removers or detergents with a “bluing” agent or lightener. Always dilute your detergent or pour it into the automatic dispenser, never directly on the sheets.

4.   Fabric softeners are not necessary. Save the money.

5.  If you cannot air dry ( does anybody do that anymore?). Put your sheets on the lowest possible setting of the dryer. It is the dryer that causes the most damage to good linens. Remove the linens while they are still slightly damp and place them on a bed or rod. It is very damaging to repeatedly dry them in a dryer.  It breaks down the cotton and the fabric becomes dull and brittle.

6.  Try and leave the linens somewhere flat before pressing. It makes it so much easier to iron. Try and iron when the linens are slightly damp, if possible. And pressing from the underside of a pattern is better, just like clothing.

7. Store your linens in an airy place. Don’t place in plastic. Fold them simply and store.

8. If your sheeting has a monogram, iron it from the underside onto a terry cloth towel so that the monogram stays three dimensional and doesn’t flatten out over time.

Good luck! And remember that a cup of white vinegar in the rinse water will remove all soapy residue and leave your fabrics smelling better than any product on the market.

If you own expensive sheets and don’t want to launder them yourself, Anichini Fine Linens recommends BlancPlume 1-800-307-0229 for a professional water cleaning.  If you use a professional laundry service, copy these instructions and ask them to follow these guidelines.

Washable Silk Coverlet 

 

Care Instructions: Use Silk Wash to remove stains gently. Do not use dryer sheets as they are made of polyester and will cause the silk to pill when they rub against each other. Do not use a spray spot remover or enzyme detergent as it will “eat” the silk. Use delicate cycle, cold water and a very cool dryer. Keep silks out of direct sunlight, halogen and heat. Remove directly from the dryer in order to avoid ironing.
