What is the recommended care routine for lace summer quilts?

Check the care label for specific instructions, as materials may vary.
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water to prevent damage to the delicate lace and fabric.
Use a mild detergent that is suitable for delicate fabrics.
Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals, as they can weaken the fabric and affect the lace.
If possible, place the quilt in a mesh laundry bag to protect the lace from snagging.
Do not wring or twist the quilt excessively; instead, gently squeeze out excess water.
Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
Drying:
Air drying is usually recommended to preserve the integrity of the quilt and prevent shrinkage.
Lay the quilt flat on a clean surface or drape it over a drying rack to dry.
Avoid hanging lace summer quilts on a clothesline, as this can stretch out the fabric and distort the lace pattern.
If using a dryer, select a low heat setting and remove the quilt promptly once it's dry to prevent wrinkling.

Ironing:
If the quilt is wrinkled after washing, you can iron it on a low heat setting.
Place a clean cloth or pressing cloth over the quilt to protect the lace from direct heat.
Gently press the iron over the quilt, avoiding the lace as much as possible.
If necessary, you can lightly steam the quilt to remove stubborn wrinkles, but be cautious around the lace.
Storage:
Store lace summer quilts in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and discoloration.
Avoid storing lace summer quilts in plastic bags or containers, as this can trap moisture and lead to mildew growth.
Instead, use a breathable fabric storage bag or a cotton pillowcase to protect the quilt while allowing air circulation.
Periodically refold the quilt to prevent creases from becoming permanent.
