Establishing a proper care routine is essential when it comes to preserving the quality of your fine bed linens, bath linens, and table linens for years to come. When laundering at home, using the right products made with cleaning agents that are gentle yet effective and free of harmful ingredients is the best way to keep your sheets, towels, garments, and other textiles looking and feeling fresh without compromising their high quality.
The Laundry at Linens Limited has brought expert care and attention to the art of laundering for over 50 years, combining an old-world approach with new-world standards to maintain and restore linens to immaculate condition.
As the principal of both E. Braun & Co. of Beverly Hills and The Laundry at Linens Limited, linens stylist Liz Barbatelli aimed to combine her team’s and her expertise to develop an exclusive product to treat the fine linens her clients had in their homes. From this mission, The Laundry’s Finest Laundry Powder was created.
The finest linens deserve to be treated with only the finest products, and The Laundry’s Finest (TLF) Laundry Powder is a specially-formulated detergent designed to extend the life of fine fabrics so you can love them for longer.
Ideal for everyday use, The Laundry’s Finest Laundry Powder uses organic surfactants to effectively remove dirt and oil without relying on chemical additives. The detergent’s special formulation has an ideal pH balance to prolong fabric health, and it’s free of bleach or bleach alternatives that can break down fibers and weaken the fabric. You won’t find any optical brighteners included, which use a fluorescent dye to artificially enhance a fabric’s color.
It’s also a gentle option for you and the environment. Free of phosphorus and biodegradable, you can feel good about using The Laundry’s detergent.
The Laundry’s Finest Laundry Powder has been time-tested for over 50 years and works optimally for everything from fine knits to tough denim. It keeps your linens and garments looking and feeling their best, and, with a light lemon scent, they’ll always smell fresh and clean.
For those who take pride in laundering their fine linens and garments at home the proper way, the simplest, most reliable solution is to use The Laundry’s Finest Laundry Powder, formulated to work well with all washer types.
To begin the care process, sort your articles by color, keeping light colors separate from dark ones. Keep loads small to avoid overloading the washer, leaving a bit of space in the tub.
First, add the proper amount of The Laundry’s Finest Laundry Powder as instructed on the canister. If it’s your first time washing the items, select a cold water setting. If it’s not, and washing instructions on the garment allow, set the water to a warm temperature with a cool rinse.
After the first wash, if stains develop, use products such as Oxy-Clean and Zout, but use discretion. While these products are safe to use, others such as bleach or bleach alternatives and fabric softeners should be avoided.
Once items are washed, remove them promptly and reshape before using your preferred drying method, either the dryer or a drying rack. Your drying results will be far superior if you shake out, smooth out, and/or re-shape your items.
Remove items that require ironing while damp using a hot iron without steam to gently smooth them out until completely dry. If you ironed your items, it is best to hang them immediately but if folding them, it is best to wait until they have cooled. This will cause less wrinkling. If you put them in the dryer, take them out immediately when still warm, smoothing them as you fold or hang your fresh bed linens, towels or clothing as desired.
While this may sound confusing or complicated, it is only logic. If you let items cool in the dryer after the dryer buzzer goes off, they will wrinkle in the same shape that the dryer stopped.
Too much information? Just try to remember to get your clothes, sheets, or towels out of the washer or dryer and smooth or fold them so they don’t wrinkle!
Another little tip is that if you do miss the dryer buzzer, then restart the dryer and warm those fibers up again so the wrinkles fall out.
The Laundry’s Finest Laundry Powder brings professional laundering practices home with a gentle yet powerful everyday detergent. It’s the perfect embodiment of Liz Barbatelli’s commitment to supporting the finest linens for bed, bath, and table – a time-tested formula that reflects the artisan approach of The Laundry at Linens Limited yet is compatible with any washer, so you can take proper laundering into your own hands.
