Hand-sewn Edges for Formal Gatherings Premium Custom Embroidered Napkins

Before using your embroidered napkins for the first time, give them a gentle rinse with water. This helps wash away any residual sizing on the fabric surface and loose dyes from the embroidery process, making the napkins softer to the touch and less likely to fade with regular use.

When cleaning, never use chlorine bleach—there’s no need for fabric softener either. We recommend opting for a mild detergent, as it’s gentle on both the base fabric and the delicate embroidery threads, preserving their color and texture.

Wash the napkins in room-temperature water. Avoid soaking them in hot water, dry cleaning them, or scrubbing vigorously back and forth if washing by hand (this can damage the embroidery). For machine washing, skip the high-speed spin-dry setting to prevent thread fraying. After washing, hang the napkins to air dry in a well-ventilated area—keep them out of direct sunlight, as UV rays can fade the embroidery. Low-temperature ironing is acceptable if needed; if using a dryer, set the temperature below 30°C. High heat can ruin the fabric’s integrity and cause the napkins to lose their shape.

Lay the napkins flat to dry—never stretch them excessively, as this can lead to permanent deformation, especially around the embroidered areas. For storage, fold them neatly and place them in a dark, low-humidity space with good airflow to keep the fabric and embroidery in top condition.

Avoid hanging the napkins on sharp objects. The base fabric (often cotton or linen blends with bamboo fiber elements) has good water absorption—when wet, it becomes heavier, but still maintains excellent drape that won’t compromise the embroidery’s shape.
