Are Cotton Napkins Machine Washable?

All our cotton napkins are machine washable. We recommend washing separately in the first few washes to avoid color bleeding, after which you're free to throw them in with other like color garments. Just set to a gentle cycle, on cold wash, and you're good to go. Air dry is recommended. 

Feel free to iron for optimal elegance.

Our block print cotton napkins are hand-dyed with natural dyes, and they're a great bet if you're eco-conscious. However, you want to avoid spot cleaning to prevent ruining their artisanal charm.

If your cotton napkin caught a food spill, quickly rinse the stained area in cold water and dislodge any particles with your fingers. Then soak the napkin in soapy water and wash in cold water. Be aware of not using any lemon or vinegar on the linens, as that can cause color discoloration. 

If you spot-clean a naturally-dyed fabric like our block print napkins, that area might lose its vibrance and stand out different from the rest of the area. You don't want that.
