Although the price is good and these handkerchiefs are beautiful, the fabric is so thin that my hand gets wet when I sneeze. One or two sneezes and you'll have to wash up. The fabric needs ironing which I wouldn't mind, they were useful and not just decorative. I treated them the same way I would treat a paper napkin, but instead of throwing them away I threw them in the laundry. I got tired of the wet hands and ordered bigger and heavier ones. They only help with a cold, but not with sneezing.
