Linen Care guide

 

Welcome to the world of linen! Whether you’re diving into the cozy embrace of linen bed sheets or adding a touch of elegance with linen clothing, you’ve chosen a fabric that’s as timeless as it is versatile. Here’s a friendly and detailed guide to help you care for your new linen treasures:

Washing

Gentle Treatment: Treat your linen with care by washing it in cold or lukewarm water. We recommend washing it in water at a temperature of 30°C for optimal care. Select gentle cycle on your washing machine to maintain the fabric’s integrity.

Mild Detergent: Choose a mild detergent that’s gentle on fabrics. Harsh chemicals can weaken the fabric and dull the colour of your linen.

Separate Colours: To prevent colour bleeding, separate your linen items into light and dark colours before washing.

Drying

Air Dry: The best way to dry your linen is by air drying. Hang your linens on a line outside or lay them flat indoors. This method helps preserve the fabric’s natural texture and prevents shrinkage.

Low Heat Tumble Dry: If you’re in a hurry, you can tumble dry your linen on a low heat setting. Remove the items promptly to prevent excessive wrinkling.

Ironing

Damp Ironing: Linen has a tendency to wrinkle, but don’t worry! Simply iron your linen items while they’re still slightly damp for the best results.

Medium to High Heat: Use a medium to high heat setting on your iron to smooth out wrinkles. If needed, add steam for stubborn creases.

Storage

Cool, Dry Place: Store your linen items in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This helps prevent yellowing and maintains the fabric’s freshness.

Breathable Storage: Avoid storing linen in plastic bags or airtight containers. Being natural material Linen needs to breathe, so opt for breathable fabric bags or open shelves instead.

Stain removal

Prompt Action: Deal with stains promptly to prevent them from setting into the fabric. Blot the stain gently with a clean cloth instead of rubbing, which can spread the stain further.

Stain Removers: Use a stain remover specifically designed for linen fabrics. Always test it on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility.

Check Care Labels: Different linen blends may have specific care instructions, so always check the care labels before washing or ironing.

We hope this guide helps you care for your new linen treasures with confidence and ease. Embrace the natural beauty and durability of linen, and it will reward you with years of comfort and style. Enjoy!
