Let me lighten your linens load...

I am talking about your laundry and linen load. Fine linen care how to launder your linens and the 3 things to avoid.


Too many times, I have seen beautiful linens destroyed by careless home washing or inept laundry services. It breaks my heart to feel stiff, rough, and fragile fine linens that should be soft, supple, and strong. A great laundry or steam can only do so much to revive them.


Stop the massacre!


High-quality linens washed properly will last for a decade or more and get softer with time.


Hot water, hot drying, and toxic laundry detergents and fabric softeners are the offenders and can be so easily avoided. If you speak Spanish or have Spanish-speaking help, we have care instructions in both Spanish and English.


Please let me know your questions and I will make more videos to answer them.

 

Please note that the beautiful interior in the background was done by the amazing interior designer: Eugene Anthony.  The linens shown are Kearsley Essentials Sateen with Tyrolean Embrodiery in Newport Blue.

When it comes to mattress sizes, the right choice depends on your height and space requirements. For those over six feet tall, a California King is ideal, while a standard King offers more width. Extra Long Twins are perfect for accommodating two adults comfortably in separate beds. Full-size mattresses may fall short in length, making a Queen a better option if space allows.

Custom mattress sizes are available, and it's crucial to measure your mattress upon arrival to ensure it fits your linens correctly, especially with variations in international sizes. At Kearsley, we make all our linens custom to fit any mattress size you need perfectly. For more tips on selecting the best bed size for your lifestyle, visit our guide on linens.
