I did a few soaking sessions and scrubbing on these two recently-acquired linens. The one on the left refuses to give up the grungy appearance, and the one on the right has improved but could be cleaner.
Can I put them in my front-loading clothes washer with some towels and regular laundry detergent and bleach? Do I risk destroying them that way? I don't remember my other linens being so troublesome to clean.
Both are somewhat rigid, and the one on the right is more rigid than the other. Yes, the one on the right had a legible Red Imp stamp before I soaked both of them in OxiClean. I should change my screen name to 'LabelDestroyer'.
And while we're at it, how do you determine if a given linen is flax or cotton?
