Care Instructions

Proper care is essential to preserve the fabric's quality and appearance:

- Dry Cleaning: Always dry clean the fabric professionally. Avoid washing at home, as water can cause shrinkage and damage to the fibres.

- Avoid Tumble Drying: Do not tumble dry. Heat can weaken linen fibres and affect the fabric's structure.

- Ironing: If necessary, iron the fabric while still damp using a hot iron to remove wrinkles.

- Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, consult a professional cleaner to avoid potential damage.

By following these care guidelines, you can help ensure that your Magnolia linen fabric retains its beauty and longevity.
