Stain-Free Elegance: A Guide to Tackling Common Stains

At Elisabeth York, we believe in the timeless beauty of well-maintained linens. As we embrace the changing seasons and introduce new collections, we also recognize the importance of keeping your favorite linens pristine. In this guide, we'll explore effective ways to tackle common stains like wine and coffee, ensuring your linens remain as exquisite as the day you brought them home.

Coffee Stains

Start your mornings right, but accidents can occur. For coffee stains, blot the area with a paper towel, then apply a mixture of cold water and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and launder as instructed on the care label. Be cautious with hot water, as it can set the stain.

Wine Stains

Whether you're celebrating or sipping in solitude, wine spills happen and when they do, act quickly. Blot the stain with a clean cloth, then mix a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water. Gently dab the stain, working from the outside in. Rinse with cold water and launder as instructed on the care label.

General Stains Tips

Swift action is key to preserving the beauty of our linens. If life's unpredictable spills occur, remember this golden rule: avoid hot water, especially on protein-based stains like blood, as it could set them permanently. For those stubborn marks that resist your efforts, don't hesitate to entrust your beloved linens to the care of professional dry cleaning.
